Synopsis

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.

About this title

Synopsis

Localization and other related instability phenomena are known to play a crucial role in the ultimate behaviour of soils and rocks at and during rupture and constitute the basis of a continuum theory of rupture. Proper modelling of strain localization and other bifurcation phenomena can be very significant in several fields, such as: environmental engineering and disaster prevention; slope stability analysis, monotonous and cyclic behaviour and liquefaction phenomena; petroleum engineering - borehole stability, sand production and drilling; mining industry - rock bursting and tunnel instability; civil engineering - stability of functions, embankments, excavations and retaining walls; and powder and grains engineering - storage and controlled flow of granular masses.
