Abstract: The thesis deals with thermodynamics of linear defects (dislocations, linear vacancies and cracks) and its application to an earthquake rebound theory. A computer simulation of an earthquake is developed here. Theoretical results for the strain and stress, a seismic moment, and an entropy jump during an earthquake process are derived and compared with measurements of real earthquakes. An identification of material parameters was done by the Monte Carlo Method.
