Experimental Study of Time-Frequency Effect of Rocks

Abstract:

Sine wave loading experiments are carried out on MTS for pump-oil saturated Nanjing sandstones and water saturated Dali marbles. The Young’s modulus and velocities of longitudinal wave and transverse wave increase with the frequency, and there are notable dispersions. The existence of micro defects in saturated rocks result in hysteresis at the sinusoidal loading experiments. The variation curves of instantaneous Young’s modulus with stress for loading and unloading intersect, and an “X” shape figure is obtained. As the frequency of the sinusoidal wave increases, the position of the intersection point moves to higher modulus area. Thus the modulus dispersion increases. Some physical mechanisms of nonlinear frequency response of rock are revealed. The results obtained are very important for nonlinear wave study, and the theoretical study and application of earthquake and engineering.
