“…In the last few years, a number of laboratory experiments have been performed to investigate the EMR generated on compression and fracture of rock samples (Lacidogna et al 2011, Koktavy 2009, Sobolev et al 2010, Kobayashi et al 2014. The reverse seismoelectric effect, i.e., generation of elastic vibrations by a rock in an AC electric field, is also essential to the understanding of the EMR physics (Ponomarev et al 2002, Sobotka 2004, 2009a. The investigations were aimed both at verifying some EMR generation models (Frid et al 2003, Koktavy et al 2004, Koktavy 2009 and at finding relationships between the rock properties and the associated electromagnetic phenomena (Sobolev et al 2010, Wan et al 2008, Kobayashi et al 2014.…”
