Physics of Asymmetric Continuum: Extreme and Fracture Processes

The book "Physics of Asymmetric Continuum: Extreme and Fracture Processes" offers a comprehensive analysis of the theoretical foundations of continuum theory that goes beyond traditional seismological applications. Inspired by previous works, it explores the connections between experimental data and the observed rotating seismic waves. The authors, Roman Teisseyre, Hiroyuki Nagahama, and Eugeniusz Majewski, develop new theoretical approaches to describe fundamental point movements and deformations. The work aims to derive the fundamental equations for point movements and deformations within a continuum framework and provides a detailed examination of axial and twisting point deformations. With 62 illustrations and a clear structure, this specialized book is a valuable resource for scientists and students dealing with the complex processes of asymmetry in continuum systems.
