Insights into the stress-dependent elastic moduli of fractured rocks are important in
monitoring geopressure and tectonic stress. This can be addressed by the theory of …

Poroelastic coupling between fractures and the surrounding rock is important to numerous
applications in geosciences. We measure the in‐situ fluid pressure and local strain …

The pressure sensitivity of stiffness in fractured rocks is closely related to fracture-surface
geometries. The resulting stress-dependence of stiffness can be represented by the third …

Fractures significantly impact the elastic and hydraulic properties of geological structures,
influencing fields like geothermal energy, hydrocarbon exploration, nuclear waste disposal …

We present a numerical method to simulate seismic wave propagation in coupled fluid and
porous media. We developed a numerical finite element–based algorithm to approximate …

Detecting the presence of gaseous formation fluids, estimating the respective volumes, and
characterizing their spatial distribution are important for a wide range of applications, notably …

Standard rock physics models are formulated to describe the behavior of porous
sedimentary reservoirs, with clean sandstones being the archetypal system; however, many …

What is the main difference between studying a rock sample in the lab, at the centimeter
scale, and studying a rock outcrop in the field, at the kilometer scale? A rock outcrop can …
