Paperback. Series: Princeton Legacy Library. Num Pages: 486 pages, black & white illustrations. BIC Classification: RBG. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 229 x 152 x 25. Weight in Grams: 657.
The purpose of this book is to acquaint the geoscientist with issues associated with the debate over orientation and magnitude of stress in the lithosphere. Terry Engelder provides a broad understanding of the topic, while touching some of the specific details involved in the interpretation of stress data generated by the most commonly used measurement techniques. An understanding of stress in the lithosphere starts with an introduction to nomenclature based on three reference states of stress. Since rock strength governs differential stress magnitudes, stress regimes are identified according to the specific failure mechanism (crack propagation, shear rupture, ductile flow, or ... Read more

Reviews for Stress Regimes in the Lithosphere
"A comprehensive account of lithospheric stress and its implications... [Engelder] uses an approach which is rigorous and quantitative without being overwhelmingly mathematical."
