Nonlinear Waves in Rocks
Friday, January 29, 1993 4:00 p.m. G. Douglas Meegan Earth and Environmental Sciences Division Los Alamos National Laboratory Rocks are typically highly disordered solids which consist of complicated networks of microfractures and pore spaces. Consequently, rocks exhibit a strong acoustic nonlinearity when compared to intact materials. The results of wave propagation, resonance, and quasi-static measurements…
