Progress in Rock Physics: New Developments of Theory and Experiment on Wave Propagation in Porous Rocks

Progress in Rock Physics: New Developments in Theory and Experiment on Wave Propagation in Porous Rocks provides a thorough and highly valuable review on the latest contributions of rock physics research. The features, applicability and shortcomings of theoretical models are discussed in detail, aiding the reader in their research and engineering work. This book outlines six central topics of wave propagation theory in porous rocks: visco-elasticity, anisotropy, squirt flow, patchy saturation, double-porosity and nonlinear acoustics. The latest results of effective medium theory and experimental measurements are also discussed. Features 200 figures, photographs and illustrations aiding in the understanding of fundamental concepts and techniquesProvides the reader with all the information they need on the latest developments in rock physics through a single narrativeCovers the most fundamental topics of theories and experiments in rock physics and maps INDICE: 1.
