From the alternating-sign explosion response of rocks to the pendulum waves in stressed geomedia. Part II

The article reviews research and development results in the sphere of designing unique apparatuses and equipment for modeling and in situ recording of nonlinear elastic waves and associated electro-magnetic emission in block-hierarchical rock masses in the condition of high stresses. The joint experimental outcomes and theoretical research findings gained by leading institutions of the Russian Academy of Sciences and its branches within recent decades, in the framework of integration interdisciplinary projects offer the methodology and instrumentation support for new promising systems of integrated geomechanical and geophysical monitoring of mining-induced earthquakes and rockbursts in Russian mines that may act as unique natural “laboratories” for both academic and applied research in geosciences.
