Physics of asymmetric continuum: extreme and fracture processes : earthquake rotation and soliton waves

The monograph summarizes some fundamental theories of continua, in particularthose with defect content, and develops asymmetric theory of continuum; the idea of spin and twist motions, the latter related to the shear axes oscillations, leads to the complex rotation field governed by the equations analogues toelectromagnetic field. Experimental evidence related to seismic rotation motions is discussed from the point of view of interactive processes in an earthquake source zone and for the near-ground effects. Some synchronization effects between spin and twist motions discovered in a near-earthquake field are discussed and corroborated by theoretically derived solutions; this interaction appears as a correlated motion between rotation and strain, shifted in phase. Theasymmetric theory includes such correlated solutions which had not been expected in the previous theories of continua. The new approach is extended also for the soliton wave theory with applications to fluid mechanics. Presents a system approach which combines the physics of asymmetric and degenerated continuawith general relativity INDICE: Introduction to Asymmetric Continuum and Experimental Evidence of Rotation Motions.- Continuum with Defect Densities and Asymmetry of Fields.- Deformations in Riemannian Geometry.
