The Frequency Dependence of Poisson’s Ratio in Fluid-Saturated Rocks by Liming Zhao, Tongjun Chen, Xin Zhang, Tao Xing

“…Then, we conducted a numerical example to indicate the effect of influence factors (the concentrations of stiff and soft pores, the aspect ratio of soft pores, and the pore fluid bulk modulus) on Poisson’s ratio from undrained state to unrelaxed state, and validated the theoretical analysis by the published experimental data. In addition, based on 1/Qν, we reanalyzed and validated the relationship between different attenuation modes (i.e., bulk attenuation 1/QK, P-wave attenuation 1/QP, extensional attenuation 1/QE, and S-wave attenuation 1/QS): (1) when 1/Qν is positive, the relationship between them is 1/QK>1/QP>1/QE>1/QS; when 1/Qν is 0, the relationship between them is 1/QK=1/QP=1/QE=1/QS; and when 1/Qν is negative, the relationship between them is 1/QK<1/QP<1/QE<1/QS. …”
