“…Different mechanoelectrical transformations can occur during initiation processes. Laboratory experiments show that rocks, even those that do not contain piezoelectric minerals, can generate EM emissions in a wide frequency range under mechanical stress, as well as pressurestimulated currents (Anastasiadis et al, 2007;Rabinovitch et al, 1998;Stavrakas et al, 2004;Freund, 2007;Triantis et al, 2007;Yasuhiko et al, 2009). We need to mention that, usually, published papers represent the results of experiments carried out with only one type of mechanical influence like loading, with the subsequent fracture of the samples or gradual loading without failure; impact; rubbing samples with, as a rule, smoothed surfaces.…”
