Abstract

Here, we study the propagation of a finite-amplitude elastic pulse in a long thin bar of Berea sandstone. In previous work, this type of experiment has been conducted to quantify classical nonlinearity, based on the amplitude growth of the second harmonic as a function of propagation distance. To greatly expand on that early work, a non-contact scanning 3D laser Doppler vibrometer was used to track the evolution of the axial component of the particle velocity over the entire surface of the bar as functions of the propagation distance and source amplitude. With these new measurements, the combined effects of classical nonlinearity, hysteresis, and nonequilibrium dynamics have all been measured simultaneously. We then show that the numerical resolution of the 1D wave equation with terms for classical nonlinearity and attenuation accurately captures the spectral features of the waves up to the second harmonic. But, for higher harmonics the spectral content is shown to be strongly influenced by hysteresis. This work also shows data which not only quantifies classical nonlinearity but also the nonequilibrium dynamics based on the relative change in the arrival time of the elastic pulse as a function of strain and distance from the source. Finally, a comparison ismore »« less

Elastic pulsed wave propagation in media with second- or higher-order nonlinearity. Part II. Simulation of experimental measurements on Berea sandstone

Journal Article Van Den Abeele, K E.A. ; Johnson, P A - Journal of the Acoustical Society of America

The theoretical 1-D wave propagation model described in part I is applied to laboratory data from dynamic propagating wave experiments on a 2-m-long cylindrical rod of Berea sandstone as previously reported by Meegan et al. Using the iterative procedure, good agreement is obtained limiting model parameters up to cubic anharmonicity (i.e., two nonlinear terms proportional to {beta} and {delta} in the stress-strain polynomial expansion). Both the data and simulations illustrate that nonlinear response is likely to occur even at extremely small strains (order 10{sub -7}). As generally expected for disordered materials, the resulting values for the nonlinear parameters are severalmore »« less

Slow dynamics in the nonlinear elastic response of Berea sandstone

Journal Article Ten Cate, J A ; Shankland, T J - Geophysical Research Letters

A typical resonance curve{emdash}measured acceleration versus drive frequency{emdash}made on a thin bar of rock shows peak bending with a softening (nonlinear) modulus as drive levels are increased. The shapes of these nonlinear resonance curves were found in earlier work to depend somewhat on sweep rate; these {open_quote}{open_quote}slow dynamics{close_quote}{close_quote} are now examined and quantified. We have measured slow dynamics in a 0.3 m long, 50 mm diameter bar of Berea sandstone under ambient conditions. Peak strain levels during the experiments ranged from 10{sup {minus}11} to 10{sup {minus}5} at driving frequencies near 4 kHz, the fundamental longitudinal resonance frequency of the bar.more »« less

Frequency, pressure and strain dependence of nonlinear elasticity in Berea Sandstone

Journal Article Riviere, Jacques ; Johnson, Paul Allan ; Marone, Chris ; ... - Geophysical Research Letters

Acoustoelasticity measurements in a sample of room dry Berea sandstone are conducted at various loading frequencies to explore the transition between the quasi-static ( f → 0) and dynamic (few kilohertz) nonlinear elastic response. We carry out these measurements at multiple confining pressures and perform a multivariate regression analysis to quantify the dependence of the harmonic content on strain amplitude, frequency, and pressure. The modulus softening (equivalent to the harmonic at 0f) increases by a factor 2–3 over 3 orders of magnitude increase in frequency. Harmonics at 2f, 4f, and 6f exhibit similar behaviors. In contrast, the harmonic at 1fmore »« less

Extreme nonlinearity in rocks: An investigation using elastic pulse wave propagation

Conference Van Den Abeele, K E.A.

Because of the presence of structural defects such as microcracks and grain boundaries, the effective moduli in a highly disordered material change dramatically as a function of stress. Earth materials (rocks) are an important example of this type of disordered media and are of practical interest in geophysics and seismology. At the laboratory scale, static stress-strain theory and elastic resonance experiments on rocks suggest that the ratio of third order elastic constants to second-order elastic constants in such materials is several orders of magnitude higher than in the case of ordinary uncracked materials. In this paper we report a modelmore »« less

Elastic nonlinearity in rock: On the relative importance between higher-order elastic constants and hysteresis

Journal Article Van Den Abeele, K ; Johnson, P ; Ten Cate, J - Journal of the Acoustical Society of America

Rocks are extremely elastically nonlinear, even at strain as low as 10{sup {minus}7}. Recent simulations of dynamic elastic pulsed wave experiments and comparison with static and resonance test predictions revealed that the physical mechanism for nonlinearity in rocks cannot be attributed to higher-order nonlinear coefficients alone. Static stress-strain tests and resonance measurements show in addition an undeniable hysteretic behavior of stress and modulus versus strain. Therefore, hysteresis has been introduced into the dynamic nonlinear wave equation by means of a discontinuous term in the modulus. The new theoretical model is based on four parameters: the first and second nonlinearity constants,more »« less
