Rock Dynamics and Applications: State of the Art: Proceedings of the First International Conference on Rock Dynamics and Applications (RocDyn-1), Lausanne, Switzerland, 6-8 June 2013 (RocDyn-1) : stat

Rock dynamics studies the response of rock materials and rock masses under dynamic loading conditions. In the last a couple of decades, the development of experimental and computational techniques has been able to capture the progress of fracturing in microsecond steps, allowing the exploration on how the fracture is initiated, propagated and branc
