Excerpt from An Investigation Into the Elastic Constants of Rocks, More Especially With Reference to Cubic Compressibility
Further, in experiments upon the deflection of beams cut from rocks, it is difficult to Obtain consistent readings, because of the time effect Of the load ing, and this difficulty is noticed in the paper cited.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the groundbreaking work to determine the cubic compressibility of granite, representative of the acid plutonic rocks which comprise the Earthâs crust. The author, a respected physicist, describes the indirect methods used for measuring the elastic constants of solids, a complex yet essential element in understanding the physical behavior of materials. Faced with experimental difficulties, the author devises a novel approach involving simple compressive stress to calculate the previously elusive cubic compressibility with accuracy. Meticulous experiments on sixteen typical rocks reveal astonishing results: the massive crystalline rocks tested exhibit nearly perfect elasticity and low hysteresis. The book concludes with a comprehensive analysis of these findings, shedding new light on the mechanical behavior of rocks under stress and advancing our knowledge of the Earthâs composition and structure.
