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.

Digital rock physics benchmarks-part II: Computing effective properties

TL;DR: This analysis provides the DRP community with a range of possible outcomes which can be expected depending on the solver and its setup, and falls within the ranges consistent with the relevant laboratory data.

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%.

A laboratory study of the dependence of elastic wave velocities on pore scale fluid distribution

TL;DR: In this paper, a continuous imbibition/drainage experiment was conducted, where compressive wave velocities were measured at a frequency of 1 MHz; shear wave velocity (Vs) was measured at the frequency of 600 kHz.

Einflüsse der Porosität und Korngrößenverteilung im Widerstandsgesetz der Porenströmung

TL;DR: In this article, a regression analysis of the Widerstandszahl of the Porositat is presented, which is a measure of the proportion of the Porenstromung to the Widerszahl.

Viscous attenuation of sound in saturated sand

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the important dynamic parameters can be derived from a knowledge of the permeability, grain size, and porosity of a fluid-saturated porous medium.

The effect of nonelliptical cracks on the compressibility of rocks

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the deformation of nonelliptical thin cracks in a loaded elastic material, where the cracks considered are two-dimensional with nonblunted, tapered ends such that opposite faces are tangent to each other at points of contact.
