近二十余年来,在岩石力学领域中,对岩石流变的研究引起了人们的广泛兴趣,成为岩石力学发展的一个重要方向。许多研究者把“岩石的流变性状”从广义上理解为岩石的一般力学性状。如1974年在美国丹佛召开的第三届国际岩石力学大会的议题1——“岩石和岩体的物理性状”;1979年在瑞士蒙特勒召开的第四届国际岩石力学大会的议题1:“岩石和岩体的物理性状”;1979年在瑞士蒙特勘召开的第四届国际岩石力学大 In the past two decades, in the field of rock mechanics, the study of rock rheology has aroused people’s wide interest, and has become an important direction for the development of rock mechanics. Many researchers have interpreted the “rheological properties of rocks” in a broad sense as the general mechanical properties of rocks. For example, in the 3rd International Symposium on Rock Mechanics held in Denver, USA, in 1974, “Physical Properties of Rocks and Rock Masses”; Topic of the 4th International Symposium on Rock Mechanics held in Montreux, Switzerland in 1979: “ “Physical properties of rocks and rock masses”; Fourth International Rock Mechanics, held in Monterey, Switzerland, in 1979
