TL;DR: In this article, the static and dynamic bulk moduli (Kstatic and Kdynamic) were measured at varying effective stress for dry and fluid-saturated Westerly granite with controlled fracture densities under isotropic and differential stress states.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of varying crack density in crystalline rock on the P- and S-wave velocity and dynamic elastic properties under confining pressure has been quantified, as a suite of dry Westerly granite samples were taken to 60, 70, 80 and 90 % of the unconfined uniaxial strength of the sample.

TL;DR: In this article, the dynamic and static elastic properties were measured under varying effective pressures and differential loads for dry and water-saturated Westerly granite that was thermally treated to 250, 450, 650 and 850 ǫ°C.

TL;DR: The ability of crustal faults to compact and to pressurize pore fluids is examined by combining geological observations, petrophysical measurements (permeability, P and S wave velocities, and porosity), and fully coupled hydromechanical modeling as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the static and dynamic Young's moduli and Poisson's ratio were measured simultaneously for dry and fluid-saturated mudstone samples. But no clear trend was observed between the dynamic and static Young's ratio.
