Elastic modulli of porous rocks was calculated from the velocity of elastic waves in regard to changing water content.(1) When the rock specimens are saturated by water, Young's modulus measured by pulse method indicated little change from dry state except loosely cemented sandstones of Tertiary rocks but the modulus calculated by resonance frequency method indicated a little decrement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
