42. Earthquakes and Acoustic Emission

    Selected Papers from the 11th International Conference on Fracture, Turin, Italy, March 20-25, 2005

    Edited by Alberto Carpinteri, Giuseppe Lacidogna

    Earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of energy during the fracture of stressed rock within the Earth’s crust. This phenomenon is similar to that which occurs in materials under load, and although they take place on very different scales, these two phenomena - earthquakes in geophysics and...
