    Estimation of the Mechanical Properties of Igneous Rocks in Consideration of Seismic Effects

    It is not widely accepted that the dynamic strain rate experienced by a rock mass during an earthquake is lower than that during a high strain rate scenario such as an explosion or a rock burst. The present st...
