Stress Redistribution in Berea Sandstone Samples Using Acoustic Emission Tomography in the Laboratory

Velocity tomography is a noninvasive technique that can image the interior of a rock structure. To apply tomography to rock specimens, a propagation wave, which acts as a probe, is used. The propagation wave propagates from a source until it reaches a sensor on the surface of the rock specimen....
