Transverserly Isotropic Saturated Porous Formations: 1. Theoretical Developments And (Quasi) Body Wave Properties

Using the results of homogenization theory, the constitutive equations for an anisotropic porous formation saturated by a Newtonian viscous fluid are derived. The transverse isotropy situation is investigated in terms of partial stresses in both phases. It allows to take into account a transverse...
