This book is a comprehensive treatment of the elastic volumetric response of sandstones to
variations in stress. The theory and data presented apply to the deformations that occur, for …

We detected surface waves from two meteorite impacts on Mars. By measuring group
velocity dispersion along the impact-lander path, we obtained a direct constraint on crustal …

This paper is an attempt to find the interdependence existing between petrophysical
properties and ultrasonic wave velocities. Porosity and permeability, apart from other …

This monograph deals with the part of the field of experimental rock deformation that is
dominated by the phenomena of brittle fracture on one scale or another. Thus a distinction …

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 …

None of the standard porosity‐velocity models (eg the time‐average equation, Raymer's
equations) is satisfactory for interpreting well‐logging data over a broad depth range. Clays …

Discovering accurate relations between porosity and seismic wave velocities in porous
rocks has been an important topic of rock physics for decades. Such relations, if they actually …

Seismic measurements take many forms, and appear to have a universal role in the Earth
Sciences. They are the means for most easily and economically interpreting what lies …

Seismic velocities measured in three drill holes through a gas hydrate deposit on the Blake
Ridge, offshore South Carolina, indicate that substantial free gas exists to at least 250 …

Partial fluid saturation affects absorption and dispersion in sandstones. The proposed
theoretical model describes acoustic relaxation due to local fluid flow. Previously proposed …
