Effects of Porosity of Dry and Saturated Sandstone on the Energy Dissipation of Stress Wave by Yexue Li, Jing Wang

“…This result indicates that the sandstone structure remains in the microcrack formation stage because the stress wave energy is adequate only for forming new microcracks but not for tearing pores and increasing pore diameter. Results further show that, at the same porosity, saturated sandstone consumes less energy than dry sandstone. …”
