A squirt-flow theory to model wave anelasticity in rocks containing compliant microfractures
Publication date: Available online 20 February 2020Source: Physics of the Earth and Planetary InteriorsAuthor(s): Chunfang Wu, Jing Ba, José M. Carcione, Li-Yun Fu, Evgeni M. Chesnokov, Lin ZhangAbstractWave propagation in rocks induces fluid pressure gradients and flow between stiff intergranular pores and compliant microfractures. This, in turn, leads to wave anelasticity, i.e., attenuation and velocity dispersion. Three known squirt-flow models attempt to explain this phenomenon. Based on these theories, we reformulate a new one, where we derive the dry-rock moduli on the assumption that the boundary fluid pressure is ...

Rock damage evolution as failure process of hierarchical structure
Publication date: Available online 15 February 2020Source: Physics of the Earth and Planetary InteriorsAuthor(s): S.N. FedotovAbstractIn present study the model is proposed to describe the dynamics of the rock fracture process. Rock formation is assumed in the form of a nested self-similar hierarchical structure. The hierarchical structure scheme is chosen in accordance with the experimentally verified criterion of fracture. The failure probability of each structure level is calculated as a function of time, temperature, material parameters and loading conditions. Knowing the failure probabilities allows one to calculate t...

First-principles calculation of the mechanical properties of quartz under non-hydrostatic stress
Publication date: Available online 13 February 2020Source: Physics of the Earth and Planetary InteriorsAuthor(s): Liu Lei, Ma Yanzhang, Yang Longxing, Liu Hong, Yi Li, Gu XiaoyuAbstractQuartz, one of most abundant mineral in the continental Crust, is conventionally used in exploration of the stress state of the Crust through analysis of its structural and mechanical properties. To better infer the state of stress in the Crust, we quantified such properties of quartz under non-hydrostatic stress environment through First-principles calculation. The reduction of the crystal lattice and shear modulus under non-hydrostatic str...
