This key textbook considers the mechanics of geomaterials at a wide
range of scales, both in time and space. It provides a detailed
introduction to the study of crustal geomechanics, focussing
specifically on the seismogenic crust. The author demonstrates how
continuum mechanics principles can provide efficient solutions to
geomechanics problems at various scales, taking into account the
multiphase characteristics of the geomaterials as well as
discontinuities such as fractures and faults. Field and laboratory
observations are combined with basic mathematical theory to build
solutions with known levels of uncertainty. Particular
consideration is given to the use of microseismicity. Case studies
are provided, and practical results from numerical modelling are
used to illustrate the applicability and limitations of current
theories. Accessible explanations of mathematical formulations,
convenient summaries of the key equations, and exercises make this
a valuable reference for students and researchers in geomechanics,
geophysics, structural geology and engineering.
