TL;DR: In this paper, the overall velocities as well as the specific attenuation coefficients of plane harmonic compressional and shear waves are calculated for low frequencies and dilute concentration of the cracks.
Abstract: The problem of the determination of the overall dynamic elastic moduli of an elastic solid permeated by uniformly distributed penny-shaped cracks is considered. The cracks are assumed to be filled with a viscoelastic material. The orientations of the cracks may be either parallel or perfectly random. The overall velocities as well as the specific attenuation coefficients of plane harmonic compressional and shear waves are calculated for low frequencies and dilute concentration of the cracks.
