Effects of parallel fractures on wave attenuation in rock

To investigate the effects of multiple parallel fractures with linear deformational behaviour on small-amplitude stress wave attenuation, the effects of a single fracture with a loading-rate independent nonlinear normal behaviour on large-amplitude stress wave attenuation, and the effects of a singl...

Summary:To investigate the effects of multiple parallel fractures with linear deformational behaviour on small-amplitude stress wave attenuation, the effects of a single fracture with a loading-rate independent nonlinear normal behaviour on large-amplitude stress wave attenuation, and the effects of a single fracture with a loading-rate dependent nonlinear normal behaviour on large-amplitude stress wave attenuation.
