Rock stress and its measurement
Bernard Amadei,Ove Stephansson +1 more
TL;DR: The state of stress in the earth's crust: from local measurements to the world stress map is estimated using stresses in rock engineering, geology, and geophysics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regional patterns of tectonic stress in Europe
Birgit Müller,Mary Lou Zoback,Karl Fuchs,Larry G. Mastin,Soren Gregersen,Nazario Pavoni,Ove Stephansson,Christer Ljunggren +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, three distinct regional patterns of maximum compressive horizontal stress (SHmax) orientation can be defined from these data: a consistent NW to NNW SHmax stress orientation in western Europe, a WNW-ESE SHmax orientation in Scandinavia, similar to western Europe but with a larger variability of SHmax orientations; and a consistent E-W SHMAX orientation and N-S extension in the Aegean Sea and western Anatolia.
Book
Stress Field of the Earth's Crust
Arno Zang,Ove Stephansson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the importance of rock stress in a body and the history of interest in rock stress and its application in a variety of applications in the field of stress analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coalescence of fractures under shear stresses in experiments
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of uniaxial compression tests were performed on gypsum specimens with preexisting fractures to study the failure mechanism of fractures and rock bridges in fractured rock masses.
Book
Fundamentals of Discrete Element Methods for Rock Engineering : Theory and Applications
Lanru Jing,Ove Stephansson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the fundamental concepts behind the basic theories and tools of discrete element methods (DEM), its historical development, and its wide scope of applications in geology, geophysics and rock engineering.
