Rock dynamics is a branch of rock mechanics and engineering which
essentially deals with the response of rock masses to various
dynamic loading conditions including vibrations from earthquakes
and explosions. The studies also encompass formation and
propagation of dynamic loads, rock failures under dynamic and
static loads, responses and transmission. In the last few decades,
experimental and computational techniques have seen a tremendous
development thus allowing capturing the progress of fracture in
microsecond steps, understanding the initiation, propagation, and
branching of fracture, thus leading better research and development
of new theories. Rock dynamics is useful in civil and geological
engineering studies as well but the presence of fourth dimension,
that is time, makes it a bit difficult to understand and apply.
Rock dynamics and applications is an important part of rock
mechanics and rock engineering, when rock materials and rock masses
are subjected to dynamic loads including earthquake and explosions.
The studies of rock dynamics involve the formation and transmission
of dynamic loads, responses and failures of rock materials and rock
masses under the dynamic loads, as well as dynamic rock failure
processes of under static loads. Due to the additional "dimension"
of time, dynamics, at least in the discipline of rock mechanics,
remains a challenging topic to understand and to apply. Much new
researches are needed and are indeed on-going. This book is
organized to summarize the state?of-the-art in rock dynamics and
applications, highlighting the current scientific research
activities and engineering application challenges, covering all the
aspects ranging from analytical and numerical works to laboratory
testing, and to engineering. The book includes research dealing
with rock dynamics theory, rockfall hazards, earth surface dynamics
and geomorphometry. Rockfalls and landslides have been given
special focus by including case histories which also discuss about
risk assessment. I hope it will be insightful for the readers and
help them understand the subject in depth.
