Seismic characterization of fractures is of great importance in many disciplines, for which
rock physics models provide the basis to link fracture properties to seismic attributes …

We experimentally assess the impact of microstructure, pore fluid, and frequency on wave
velocity, wave dispersion, and permeability in thermally cracked Carrara marble under …

We derive the relationships that link the general elastic properties of rock masses to the
geometrical properties of fracture networks, with a special emphasis to the case of frictional …

Fractures have a significant influence on rock elastic properties. The existing elastic models
for cracked medium mainly consider the crack dip angle. In this work, based on the previous …

Fractures widely exist in rocks and joint interpretation of elastic and electrical survey data
can improve the characterization of fractured rocks. However, the cross-property relationship …

The dispersion and attenuation of seismic waves are potentially important attributes for the
non-invasive detection and characterization of fracture networks. A primary mechanism for …

Seismic methods are often used for fracture detection and characterization, for which many
analytical rock physics models have been developed to link fracture parameters to rock …

The third‐order elastic (TOE) model has been used to describe the widely observed
nonlinear mechanical behaviors of earth materials. In addition to linear elastic constants (λ …

Fiber-optic sensing technologies allow petroleum engineering teams to detect hydraulic
fracture interaction with boreholes during unconventional reservoir stimulation. In …

Elastic properties of sandstones can be highly pressure dependent. However, the pressure‐
induced deformation of intact sandstones in X‐ray micro‐Computed Tomography (micro …
