This book is a significant innovation in traditional rock mechanics. The Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion, which has been applied in rock mechanics for many years, is abolished in the book. The Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion does not take into account the influence of intermediate principal stress, which deviates from experimental results and cannot fully utilize the strength of the material, increasing the material consumption in engineering applications. This book adopts the unified strength theory to comprehensively and systematically reform traditional rock mechanics, enabling rock mechanics to obtain a series of new results from theoretical foundations to engineering applications, and raising the content of rock mechanics to a new level. In addition, this book also adds new content such as the penetration of rock by ground penetrating projectiles, which can be applied in national defense engineering.
