DISCRETE PROPERTIES OF ENTITIES OF A GEOMEDIUM AND THEIR CANONICAL REPRESENTATION

摘要

A tremendous upgrowth of experimental and theoretical studies in the field of nonlinear geomechanics, observed in recent decade, arises from consideration and description of the role of rockmass structure factor in complex self-organizing processes of variation in their stress-strain state. One of the leaders of this research trend is the Siberian School of Geomechanics, whose semicentenary experience bases upon fundamental results obtained by T. Gorbachev, N. Chinakal, S. Khristianovich and other prominent scientific men early at the origin of the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences. The present paper emphasizes the fundamental importance of the canonical scale of structural-hierarchical representation of physical and geomechanical information for the description of structural-hierarchical arrangement of rocks and for rock classifications by the rock strength parameters. The authors have shown that the applied scale of the structural-hierarchical representations, as such, levels out the differences of the discussed classifications.
