Abstract

In this study, the authors investigate multi-parameter thermo-dynamic response of minerals and rocks during deformation and fracturing. The infrared thermography technique is recently improved and the authors re-used this technique to observe the thermal response of minerals and rocks in compression and tensile experiments and compression of quartz fault gouge in addition to measurable parameters such as deformation, load, acoustic emission, acceleration and electrical potential. The authors describe the outcomes of experiments on multi-parameter thermo-dynamic responses of crystals and rocks ranging from soft to hard and discuss their implications in the fields of the rock engineering and geoscience.
