Author:Esterhuizen, GSDate:Jan 1994The mechanism of most seismic events is shear displacement along geological faults. Seismicity occurs if the slip takes place violently and kinetic energy is released into the surrounding rock. The rock surrounding the fault plane may be seen ...Read more
Author:Napier, JAL; Malan, DFDate:Oct 1997A model is proposed for the direct mechanistic simulation of seismic activity and stress transfer effects in deep level mines. The model uses a discontinuum viscoplastic formulation to relate the rate of slip on a crack to the shear stress ...Read more
