THE vector analysis of Gibbs and Heaviside and the more general tensor analysis of Ricci are now recognized as standard tools in mechanics, hydro-dynamics and electrodynamics. Their use not only ...

Natural rock fractures are characterized by highly irregular rough walls, which are best modeled as spatially correlated random surfaces. This leads to a description of fractures, wherein the fracture ...
