Description for Rheological and Seismic Properties of Solid-Melt Systems
Paperback. This book highlights the importance of mineral and rock microstructures as controls on geophysical properties of solids, particularly near the melting point. It includes applications to igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary systems. Series: Springer Theses. Num Pages: 177 pages, 77 black & white illustrations, 17 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PHVG; PNFS; RBG; RBGD; TG. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 10. Weight in Grams: 285.
Our understanding of the rheological and seismic properties of the Earth’s interior relies on interpreting geophysical observations using mineral physics data. The complexity of natural materials complicates these interpretations, but here the key features of such materials in controlling the attenuation of seismic waves are determined by a set of careful experiments. This thesis clearly explains how dynamic mechanical spectroscopy has been used to determine the visco-elastic properties of igneous and sedimentary rocks containing geological fluids. These experiments highlight, for the first time, the importance of mineral and rock microstructures as controls on geophysical properties of solids, particularly near the ... Read more
