Abstract
Summary During the development of hydrocarbon fields geomechanical characteristics of rocks change under the effect of nonlinear dynamic loads. Elasticity modulus is one of the most important characteristics of mechanical properties of rocks used in engineering. It is known that the elasticity modulus of dry rocks does not depend on the frequency of the applied load. However, dispersion of elastic moduli in dry sedimentary rocks still exists. The mechanism, in accordance with which dispersion of the dynamic component of elastic modulus occurs, remains not fully disclosed. Studies on the dispersion of the dynamic component of the elasticity modulus under the influence of uniaxial dynamic loads are conducted on dry sandstone samples in the zone of linear elasticity. Physically substantiated relations are proposed. The nonlinear nature of the dynamic elasticity modulus under the influence of dynamic loads of given frequency and amplitude was confirmed. The obtained relations allow taking into account the influence of nonlinear dynamic loads on the elasticity modulus of the rock in the calculations when designing the development of hydrocarbon fields.
