This work constructs a fracture mechanics framework for conceptualizing mechanical rock
breakdown and consequent regolith production and erosion on the surface of Earth and …

Deformation of porous rocks is investigated by experts of various fields. This is probably the
reason why poroelastic parameters are neither uniformly defined nor represented by …

Historic levels of drought, globally, call for sustainable freshwater management. Under
pressing demand is a refined understanding of the structures and dynamics of groundwater …

Responding to the latest developments in rock physics research, this popular reference
book has been thoroughly updated while retaining its comprehensive coverage of the …

Four compressibilities are defined for porous rock, relating changes in the bulk and pore
volumes to changes in the pore and confining pressures. Using a micromechanical theory …

Aquifers are vital groundwater reservoirs for residential, agricultural, and industrial activities
worldwide. Tracking their state with high temporal and spatial resolution is critical for water …

General effective‐stress rules are derived for various physical properties of inhomogeneous
porous rocks. Some rigorous relations arising in the analysis show that the fluid (pore) …

The permeability of illite‐rich shale from the Wilcox formation has been measured as a
function of effective pressure for bedding‐parallel flow of 1 M NaCl pore fluid. Permeability k …

A model for the 3D P-and S-wave velocity structure at Parkfield has been developed by the
systematic inversion of arrival times for microearthquakes and surface Vibroseis sources …

Laboratory experiments were performed to determine the effective stress law of tight
sandstones and chalk for permeability and deformation. Permeability and volumetric strain …
