This method, called Differential Acoustic Resonance Spectroscopy or DARS, uses the perturbation caused by a small sample of rock to the Q and resonant frequency of a fluid‐filled cavity resonator. The changes in the resonant frequency and quality factor are interpreted to characterize the velocity and attenuation properties of the rock sample. The frequency of DARS operation is determined by the size of the fluid‐filled cavity, not the size of the rock sample;therefore, DARS can be used to measure an acoustically small sample in the laboratory at relatively low frequencies. Moreover, the sample may be irregularly shape so long as its size is small in comparison to the cavity volume. This paper describes the DARS concept, theory of operation, and some attenuation results for small porous samples at a frequency near 1 kHz.Permalink: https://doi.org/10.1190/1.2147992FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited byThree-dimensional numerical modelling of the drained/undrained transition for frequency-dependent elastic moduli and attenuation20 June 2019 | Geophysical Journal International, Vol. 219, No. 1An enhanced broad-frequency-band apparatus for dynamic measurement of elastic moduli and Poisson’s ratio of rock samplesReview of Scientific Instruments, Vol. 89, No. 6Investigation on pore-scale transport properties of sonic wave using numerical simulation with digital rockWenzheng Yue, Bin Tian, and Yun Lu17 August 2017Resonant Ultrasound Spectroscopy studies of Berea sandstone at high temperature17 September 2016 | Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Vol. 121, No. 9Differential acoustic resonance spectroscopy: improved theory and application in the low frequency range23 July 2015 | Geophysical Journal International, Vol. 202, No. 3Experimental analysis of the Differential Acoustical Resonance Spectroscopy System for determining rock acoustic propertiesHanjun Yin*, Shangxu Wang, Jianguo Zhao, Genyang Tang, Dongju Yuan, and Jingnan Li10 July 2015Numerical experiment and analysis of the differential acoustic resonance spectroscopy for elastic property measurements25 September 2013 | Journal of Geophysics and Engineering, Vol. 10, No. 5Determination of rock acoustic properties at low frequency: A differential acoustical resonance spectroscopy device and its estimation technique19 June 2013 | Geophysical Research Letters, Vol. 40, No. 12Differential Acoustic Resonance Spectroscopy for the acoustic measurement of small and irregular samples in the low frequency range8 June 2012 | Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Vol. 117, No. B6Notice of Retraction: Estimate the volume and compressibility of a small rock sample with Differential Acoustic Resonance SpectroscopyAcoustic Measurement of a Small Sample Using Differential Acoustic Resonance Spectroscopy1 August 2010 | Applied Mechanics and Materials, Vol. 29-32Experimental evidence of the relation between the Biot‐Gassmann modulus and the bulk modulus measured by DARS (Differential Acoustic Resonance Spectroscopy) of oil‐saturated rocksBouko Vogelaar, David Smeulders, and Jerry Harris14 October 2009Experimental studies on the effects of porosity on acoustic resonance spectroscopy for synthetic porous rock samples in a cylindrical resonant cavity23 May 2008 | Science Bulletin, Vol. 53, No. 7Estimating flow properties of porous media with a model for dynamic diffusionChuntang Xu, Jerry M.
