This monograph deals with the part of the field of experimental
rock deformation that is dominated by the phenomena of brittle
fracture on one scale or another. Thus a distinction has been drawn
between the fields of brittle and ductile behaviour in rock,
corresponding more or less to a distinction between the phenomena
of fracture and flow. The last chapter deals with the transition
between the two fields. In this new edition an attempt has been
made to take into account new developments of the last two and a
half decades. To assist in this project, the original author
greatly appre- ates being joined by the second author. The scope of
the monograph is limited to the mechanical properties of rock
viewed as a material on the laboratory scale. Thus, the topic and
approach is of a "materials science" kind rather than of a
"structures" kind. We are dealing with only one part of the wider
field of rock mechanics, a field which also includes structural or
boundary value problems, for example, those of the stability of
slopes, the collapse of mine openings, earthquakes, the folding of
stratified rock, and the convective motion of the Earth's mantle.
One topic thus excluded is the role of jointing, which it is
commonly necessary to take into account in applications in
engineering and mining, and pr- ably often in geology too. Shock
phenomena have also not been covered.
