1. Landforms and Geology of Granite Terrains

   By Charles Rowland Twidale, Juan Ramón Vidal Romani

   Granite forms are exposed over more than fifteen per cent of land surfaces, a significance comparable to that of the carbonates. This book examines these forms and comprehensively explains the landforms and landscapes developed on granitic rock, uniquely focusing on granitic terrains...

2. Poromechanics III - Biot Centennial (1905-2005)

   Proceedings of the 3rd Biot Conference on Poromechanics, 24-27 May 2005, Norman, Oklahoma, USA

   Edited by Younane N. Abousleiman, Alexander H.-D. Cheung, Franz-Josef Ulm

   These proceedings represent the latest advances in the mechanics of porous materials, known as poromechanics. The porous materials considered are solids containing voids that are impregnated with fluid. The focus is on the mechanical interactions of the inhomogeneous solid with the single- or...

3. Post-Launch Calibration of Satellite Sensors

   Proceedings of the International Workshop on Radiometric and Geometric Calibration, December 2003, Mississippi, USA.

   By Stanley A. Morain, Amelia M. Budge

   Series: ISPRS Book Series

   Increasingly, in the field of earth observation imagery, there is a need for image quality to be assessable in traceable Standard International Units (SIU), and for the standardization of common mapping projections. These two needs, plus the increased usage of combinations of data and image types,...

4. Experimental Physics and Rock Mechanics

   Edited by A.N. Stavrogin, B.G. Tarasov

   This volume summarizes the results of experimental investigations on the mechanical behaviour of rock. These experiments have been conducted over a 40 year period in the Laboratory for the Physics of Rocks at High Pressure....

5. Localisation and Bifurcation Theory for Soils and Rocks

   Edited by R. Chambon, J. Desrues, I. Vardoulakis

   This text provides a guide to localization and other related instability phenomena which can have a crucial effect in the behaviour of soils and rocks at and during rupture and which constitute the basis of a continuum theory of rupture. Applications to various engineering fields are demonstrated....
