“Pre-Earthquake” Micro-Structural Effects Induced by Shear Stress on α-Quartz in Laboratory Experiments

This paper presents the results of measurements performed on α-quartz subjected to shear stress in dry conditions, to understand the relationship between the shear intensity and the resulting physical and chemical effects. If a shear stress of intensity higher than 100 MPa is applied continuously to...
