Exploring a previously unexplored realm of knowledge, this book presents the results of extensive experiments on the flow of various rocks under different stresses. It is the first publication to furnish a detailed mathematical theory of the internal friction and limiting strength of rocks under conditions existing in the interior of the Earth. The author incorporates the concept of a modulus of plasticity, which expresses the ease with which a rock will flow under differential pressure, and demonstrates that this modulus of plasticity varies with the type of rock and the depth at which it is located within the Earth's crust. The book builds on earlier elastic solid theory, which suggested that a stressed solid would commence to flow as soon as the maximum shearing stress exceeded a limiting value, to provide a more complete understanding of rock behavior under various stresses.
