The mechanism of strong nonlinear elasticity in earth solids
2000
AIP Conference Proceedings
Preserved Fulltext
This work describes several physical models of the mechanical properties of rocks resulting in macroscopic nonlinear behavior due to their mesoscopic-scale structure. Theoretical models include Hertzian grain contacts with multiple scales and hysteretic properties. A significant addition to the highly nonlinear response in these materials are fluids contained in the soft bond system. CP524, Nonlinear Acoustics at the Turn of the Millennium: ISNA 15 edited by W.
