The field of rock mechanics and rock engineering utilizes the basic
laws of continuum mechanics and the techniques developed in
computational mechanics. This book describes the basic concepts
behind these fundamental laws and their utilization in practice
irrespective of whether rock/rock mass contains discontinuities.
This book consists of nine chapters and six appendices. The first
four chapters are concerned with continuum mechanics aspects, which
include the basic operations, definition of stress and strain
tensors, and derivation of four fundamental conservation laws in
the simplest yet precise manner. The next two chapters are the
preparation for computational mechanics, which require constitutive
laws of geomaterials relevant to each conservation law and the
procedures for how to determine required parameters of the
constitutive laws. Computational mechanics solves the resulting
ordinary and partial differential equations. In Chapter 7, the
methods of exact (closed-form) solutions are explained and they are
applied to ordinary/partial differential equations with solvable
boundary and initial conditions. In Chapter 8, the fundamentals of
approximate solution methods are explained for one dimension first
and then how to extend them to multi-dimensional problems. The
readers are expected to learn and clearly understand how they are
derived and applied to various problems in geomechanics. The final
chapter involves the applications of the approximate methods to the
actual problems in practice for geomechanical engineers, which
cover the continuum to discontinuum, including the stress state of
the earth as well as the ground motions induced by earthquakes. Six
appendices are provided to have a clear understanding of continuum
mechanics operations and procedures for how to deal with
discontinuities/interfaces often encountered in rock mechanics and
rock engineering.
