Résumé : |
Porosity is an important state parameter which controls the response of porous materials under both static and dynamic loading. The possibility of determining porosity from direct inversion of V P and V S, which are routinely measured in geophysical prospecting, is appealing. A methodology has been recently proposed and successfully applied to a number of sites and it is based on the apparent insensitivity of porosity on Poisson ratio of the soil skeleton ν SK, which is a priori an unknown quantity. So far, however, the functional dependence of porosity on ν SK has only marginally been investigated and doubts arise regarding whether the method is always applicable. This study attempts to investigate thoroughly the stability of the inversion of measured V S and V P to estimate porosity and to assess the degree of well-posedness of the procedure for all the combinations of V P and V S relevant in real soils. |
