TL;DR: In this article, two types of experiment were performed to investigate and quantify the contribution of micro-cracks to the static elastic response of Westerly granite as it approaches failure, and the results can be applied to our understanding of the mechanics, stress distribution and fault displacement models within and surrounding fault zones.

TL;DR: Using a classical analytic solution of the elasticity equations derived for an infinite medium subjected to a uniaxial compression, an analytic expression is derived predicting the observed contrast in elastograms.
Abstract: Elastography is a new ultrasonic imaging technique introduced to produce images of the Young's modulus distribution of compliant tissue. This Young's modulus distribution is derived from the ultrasonically estimated longitudinal internal strains induced by an external compression of the tissue. The displayed two-dimensional images are called elastograms. Recently, contrast-transfer efficiency, defined as the ratio of elasticity contrast as measured from elastogram to the true contrast, was used to illustrate by simulation the fundamental limitation of elastography in displaying the elastic modulus contrast of soft inclusion in a hard background and vice versa. In this paper, using a classical analytic solution of the elasticity equations derived for an infinite medium subjected to a uniaxial compression, we confirm such earlier simulations results. For this purpose we derive an analytic expression predicting the observed contrast in elastograms.
