Laboratory experiments on partially saturated rocks show that seismic attenuation can be
significant. The main mechanism, wave‐induced local fluid flow (WILFF), is affected by the …

The fundamentals of our understanding of the mechanical compaction of porous rocks stem
from experimental studies. Yet, many of these studies use natural materials for which …

Wave attenuation and velocity dispersion are of great significance to fluid evaluation in fluid-
saturated rocks. Inspired by the double-porosity and cracked porous elastic wave theory, we …

Seismic waves are typically assumed to propagate fast enough through a porous rock
saturated with multiple fluid phases such that the interaction between the fluids can be …

Attenuation refers to any decrease in the power of a propagated signal through a medium.
Attenuation measurement techniques include ultrasonic, resonance bar, and stress-strain …

Enceladus is an astrobiologically compelling target for scientific study and is predicted to
have high seismic activity for its size, particularly at its south pole. We conduct ray-theoretical …

Understanding the mechanics of granular materials is essential in geophysics and for a
broad range of industries and for defense-related applications. However, predicting the …

To test theoretical models of modulus dispersion and dissipation in fluid‐saturated rocks, we
have investigated the broadband mechanical properties of four thermally cracked glass …
