Elastic properties of dry, highly porous tuffs
Conference

OSTI ID:60376
A functional relationship between values for the elastic constants and porosity has been developed for tuffs with various degrees of welding. This correlation defines the change in elastic constants with inelastic compaction for wave propagation analysis and also can be used to estimate elastic properties of tuffs with different initial porosity. The ability to relate stress induced changes to unstressed states with different porosity values is new and eliminates the need for a large, costly testing program every time the site changes.
