Enlarged and fully updated, this new edition takes into account the considerable experimental and theoretical progress recently made in the field. Introduction to the Physics of the Earth's Interior describes the structure, composition and temperature of the deep Earth. The book reviews the fundamentals of continuum mechanics and thermodynamics of solids, and presents the theory of lattice vibration in solids. It introduces the various equations of state and discusses melting laws and transport properties. The volume closes with a discussion of current seismological, thermal and compositional models of the Earth. About 250 new references have been added.
This textbook describes the physics of the plastic deformation of
solids at high temperatures. It is directed at geologists or
geophysicists interested in the high-temperature behaviour of
crystals who wish to become acquainted with the methods of
materials science in so far as they are useful to earth scientists.
It explains the most important models and recent experimental
results without losing the reader in the primary literature of
materials science. In turn the book deals with the essential
solid-state physics; thermodynamics and hydrostatics of creep;
creep models and their applications in the geological sciences;
diffusion creep; superplastic deformation and deformation enhanced
by phase transformations. Five concluding chapters give
experimental results for metals, ceramics and minerals. There are
extensive bibliographies to aid further study.
