“…Well logs of single boreholes often provide data from fractured and unfractured rock sections and in crosshole applications one can compare data from waves that traveled parallel and perpendicular to the primary direction of the fracture set under investigation (e.g. Myer et al (1995); Lubbe and Worthington (2006)). For other cases the considered methods can still be used to infer changes in fracture compliance if the total value of fracture compliance is known.…”

“…Schoenberg and Sayers (1995)). For seismic wavelengths smaller than or comparable to fracture spacing and fracture length, reverberation and scattering occurs and the correct response of the medium can only be obtained by modelling discrete fractures (Myer et al (1995); Willis et al (2006); Prioul et al (2007);…”

“…A simplified method was proposed by ignoring multiple wave reflections as a short-wavelength approximation Pyrak-Nolte et al, 1990b) and then, the transmission coefficient across a joint set is calculated as the product of transmission coefficients of individual joint. However, laboratory experiments (Hopkins et al, 1988;Myer et al, 1995;Pyrak-Nolte et al, 1990b;Zhao et al, 2006a) found that the simplified method was valid only when the first arriving wave was not contaminated by multiple wave reflections. When the incident wavelength is comparable with or larger than the joint spacing, the simplified method is not applicable.…”

“…In comparison, the effects of multiple fractures on wave propagation become complicated because of multiple reflections occurring between fractures. A simplified method was proposed by ignoring the multiple reflections as a shortwavelength approximation (only the firstly arriving transmitted wave is taken into account using the simplified method) [8][9][10]. The transmission coefficient across parallel fractures is then calculated as the product of transmission coefficients of individual fractures.…”

“…The transmission coefficient across parallel fractures is then calculated as the product of transmission coefficients of individual fractures. Laboratory experiments conducted by Hopkins et al [8], Pyrak-Nolte et al [9], Myer et al [10], and Nakagawa et al [11] verified that the simplified method is valid only when the firstly arriving wave is not contaminated by multiple reflections. Cai and Zhao [12], Zhao et al [13] and Zhao et al [14,15] used the method of characteristics to study normally incident wave attenuation across a set of parallel fractures, where the multiple reflections were considered.…”
