Abstract

It is becoming clear that the elastic properties of rock are shared by numerous other materials (sand, soil, some ceramics, concrete, etc.). These materials have one or more of the following properties in common: strong nonlinearity, hysteresis in stress-strain relation, slow dynamics and discrete memory. Primarily, it is the material’s compliance, the mesoscopic linkages between the rigid components, that give these materials their unusual elastic properties.
