Description

The two-volume set Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering is concerned with the application of the principles of mechanics to physical, chemical and electro-magnetic processes in the upper-most layers of the earth and the design and construction of the rock structures associated with civil engineering and exploitation or extraction of natural resources in mining and petroleum engineering.
Volume 1, Fundamentals of Rock Mechanics, discusses rock-constituting elements, discontinuities and their behavior under various physical and chemical actions in nature. The governing equations together with constitutive laws and experimental techniques and the solution techniques are explained and some examples of applications are given. A number of chapters are devoted to possible new directions in rock mechanics. Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering is intended to be a fundamental resource for younger generations and newcomers and a reference book for experts specialized in Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering and associated with the fields of mining, civil and petroleum engineering, engineering geology, and/or specialized in Geophysics and concerned with earthquake science and engineering.

Biography

Ömer Aydan was born in 1955, and studied Mining Engineering at the Technical University of Istanbul, Turkey (B.Sc., 1979), Rock Mechanics and Excavation Engineering at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK (M.Sc., 1982), and received his Ph.D. in Geotechnical Engineering from Nagoya University, Japan in 1989.

Prof. Aydan worked at Nagoya University as a research associate (1987-1991), and then at the Department of Marine Civil Engineering at Tokai University, first as Assistant Professor (1991-1993), then as Associate Professor (1993-2001), and finally as Professor (2001-2010). He then became Professor of the Institute of Oceanic Research and Development at Tokai University, and is currently Professor at the University of Ryukyus, Department of Civil Engineering & Architecture, Nishihara, Okinawa, Japan. He is also the director of the Disaster Prevention Research Center for Island Region of the University of the Ryukyus.

Ömer has played an active role on numerous ISRM, JSCE, JGS, SRI and Rock Mech. National Group of Japan committees, and has organized several national and international symposia and conferences.

Descripción

El conjunto de dos volúmenes Mecánica de rocas e ingeniería de rocas se ocupa de la aplicación de los principios de la mecánica a los procesos físicos, químicos y electromagnéticos en las capas superiores de la tierra y del diseño y construcción de estructuras rocosas asociadas con la ingeniería civil. Ingeniería y explotación o extracción de recursos naturales en ingeniería minera y petrolera.
El Volumen 1, Fundamentos de la Mecánica de Rocas, analiza los elementos que constituyen las rocas, las discontinuidades y su comportamiento bajo diversas acciones físicas y químicas en la naturaleza. Se explican las ecuaciones gobernantes junto con las leyes constitutivas y las técnicas experimentales y las técnicas de solución y se dan algunos ejemplos de aplicaciones. Se dedican varios capítulos a posibles nuevas direcciones en la mecánica de rocas. Mecánica de Rocas e Ingeniería de Rocas pretende ser un recurso fundamental para las generaciones más jóvenes y los recién llegados y un libro de referencia para expertos especializados en Mecánica de Rocas e Ingeniería de Rocas y asociados con los campos de la minería, la ingeniería civil y petrolera, la ingeniería geológica y/o la ingeniería especializada. en Geofísica y preocupado por la ciencia y la ingeniería sísmicas.
