Empirical relations between elastic wavespeeds and density in the Earth's crust

TL;DR: A compilation of compressional-wave (V p) and shear-wave velocities and densities for a wide variety of common lithologies is used to define new nonlinear, multivalued, and quantitative relations between these properties for the Earth's crust as mentioned in this paper.

Physical properties of hydrate-bearing sediments

TL;DR: A review of the current understanding of phenomena involved in gas hydrate formation and the physical properties of hydrate-bearing sediments can be found in this paper, where the magnitudes and interdependencies of these properties are critically important for predicting and quantifying macroscale responses of hydrates to changes in mechanical, thermal, or chemical boundary conditions.

The brittle-ductile transition in porous rock: A review

TL;DR: In this article, Bifurcation analysis can be used in conjunction with a constitutive model to predict the onset of strain localization, which is in qualitative agreement with the laboratory data.

Computation of linear elastic properties from microtomographic images: Methodology and agreement between theory and experiment

TL;DR: In this article, the elastic properties of the digitized images under dry, water-saturated, and oil -saturated conditions were derived from a suite of four samples of Fontainebleau sandstone with porosities ranging from 7.5% to 22%.

Elastic moduli of perfectly disordered composite materials

TL;DR: In this article, the overall elastic moduli of perfectly disordered composite materials are derived from the local elastic modulus in a rigorous manner using the concept of correlation functions, and the results are close to those derived by the self-consistent method.

Wave Attenuation in Saturated Sediments

TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical model to describe the propagation of low-amplitude waves in saturated sediments is proposed, where losses due to inelasticity of the skeletal frame and motion of the pore fluid relative to the frame are both accounted for, and each is found to be significant in a different frequency range.
