The effect of cracks on the compressibility of rock

Walsh, J. B.·1965·Journal of Geophysical Research

Abstract

Compressibility of porous material is greater than that of solid material of the same composition, and the difference is shown to be equal to rate of change of porosity with pressure, for any pore shape or concentration. Expressions for compressibility are given for two special cases for material of low pore concentration: for spherical pores and for narrow cracks. Comparison of the two cases shows that a crack increases compressibility nearly as much as a spherical pore of the same diameter as the length of the crack, although porosity in these two cases differs enormously. For material in which all porosity occurs as narrow cracks, it is shown that porosity can, in certain cases, be determined quite precisely from compressibility measurements.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
