Multi-exponential model to describe pressure-dependent P- and S-wave velocities and its use to estimate the crack aspect ratio
We present new quantitative model describing the pressure dependence of acoustic P- and S-wave velocities.Assuming that a variety of individual mechanisms or defects (such as cracks, pore collapse and grain crushing) can contribute to the pressure-dependent change of the wave velocity, we order a characteristic pressure to all of them and allow a s
