Analytic Methods in Geomechanics (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Bringing together a range of areas including tensor analysis, elasticity, plasticity, fracture mechanics, and viscoelasticity, this book is an indispensible guide to the fundamentals of geomechanics. It provides explanations of each subject area, using a step-by-step process with numerous worked examples. The more advanced material, such as 2-D elasticity and application of J-integral to model slipping slopes, supplies a gateway into understanding the latest research results and applying them to practical problems. The book is suitable for undergraduate and graduate students as well as professionals and researchers.

Autorenporträt

Professor K.T. Chau, Ph.D., is the chair professor of geotechnical engineering in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He obtained his Ph.D. in theoretical and applied mechanics from Northwestern University in Chicago and an executive certificate from the Graduate School of Business of Stanford University. Dr. Chau is a fellow of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE), the chairman of the Elasticity Committee (2009-2012) of the Engineering Mechanics Institute (EMI) of ASCE, and chairman of the TC103 of the ISSMGE. His research interests have included geomechanics and geohazards, including bifurcation and stability theories in geomaterials, rock mechanics, fracture and damage mechanics in brittle rocks3-D elasticity, earthquake engineering and mechanics, landslides and debris flows, tsunami and storm surges, and rockfalls and dynamic impacts, seismic pounding, vulnerability of tall buildings with transfer systems, and shaking table tests. He is the author of more than 100 journal papers and 200 conference publications.
