The closure of microcracks under pressure: inference from elastic wave velocity and electrical conductivity in granitic rocks

Abstract Measurements of elastic wave velocity and electrical conductivity were conducted on brine-saturated granitic rocks under confining pressure to quantitatively characterize the closure of cracks. The number of contacting asperities and radius ratio of contact over crack were estimated. Contac...
