Relaxation phenomena of electrical signal emissions from rock following application of abrupt mechanical stress

<p>The emission of electrical signals during application of mechanical stress to brittle geo-materials (the so-called pressure-stimulated current; PSC) can provide significant information regarding the mechanical status of a studied rock sample. PSCs originate as a result of the openin...
