We have investigated the impact of wave-induced fluid flow, including Biot flow and
mesoscopic flow, on the signatures of seismic reflectivity in heterogeneous reservoir rocks …

The fundamentals of our understanding of the mechanical compaction of porous rocks stem
from experimental studies. Yet, many of these studies use natural materials for which …

Quantitative rock physical approaches are becoming increasingly important for both
geophysical exploration and geological interpretation. One limiting factor is that …

Ultrasonic shear wave reflectometry is widely used in process control to measure the
dynamic shear viscosities of Newtonian liquids. We apply the technique to study the …

Perfect for senior undergraduates and first-year graduate students in geophysics, physics,
mathematics, geology and engineering, this book is devoted exclusively to seismic wave …

The real ray-tracing approach leads to an effective solution in the real space domain using a
homogeneous ray velocity vector. However, it fails to yield solutions for quasi-S-waves …

The propagation of evanescent waves in hybrid poroelastic metamaterials is investigated by
considering interface effects. Hybrid metamaterials consist of a single-phased (acoustic or …

This study considers the propagation of harmonic plane waves in a double porosity solid
saturated with a non-viscous fluid. Existence of three longitudinal waves and a transverse …

Laboratory and field measurements often fail to identify small-scale variations in rock elastic
properties. Due to limited spatial resolution, conventional laboratory methods cannot …

The variations in the strength of seismic reflections with both angles of incidence and
azimuth are being used to constrain the orientations and degrees of mechanical anisotropy …
