Mechanical fatigue of rocks and atmospheric pressure changes
Abstract Mechanical fatigue of the macroscopically homogeneous Cretaceous marl in the course of periodical loading and unloading (similar to atmospheric pressure changes) has been observed. It is considered that periodic atmospheric pressure changes may cause some mechanical fatigue of rocks on the Earth's surface sooner or later. Therefore these changes are—among others—also one of the important weathering factors. Also, the latent weakness surfaces, present in rock samples, become apparent in the course of mechanical fatigue, and these surfaces reduce the strength of specimens.
