Published laboratory investigations suggest an association exists between the ratio of
seismic compressional and shear-wave velocities (V p/V s) and sedimentary rock lithology …

The diversity of porous materials is noted. However, this study is particularly relevant to the
use of sound absorbent materials in architectural acoustics. The theory of sound …

Responding to the latest developments in rock physics research, this popular reference
book has been thoroughly updated while retaining its comprehensive coverage of the …

A unified treatment of the mechanics of deformation and acoustic propagation in porous
media is presented, and some new results and generalizations are derived. The writer's …

Effective medium theory dates back to the early days of the theory of electricity. Faraday
1837 proposed one of the earliest models for a composite metal-insulator dielectric, and …

The interpretation of geophysical data in exploration geophysics, well logging, engineering,
mining and environmental geophysics requires knowledge of the physical properties of …

Physical Properties of Rocks: A Workbook is a symbiosis of a brief description of physical
fundamentals of rock properties (based on typical experimental results and relevant theories …

Shear‐wave velocity logs are useful for various seismic interpretation applications, including
bright spot analyses, amplitude‐versus‐offset analyses and multicomponent seismic …

Both naturally-occurring and man-made materials are often heterogeneous materials formed
of various constituents with different properties and behaviours. Studies are usually carried …

A new formulation for wave propagation in an anelastic medium is developed. The
phenomenological theory of linear viscoelasticity provides the basis for describing the …
