Mechanisms for acoustic absorption in dry and weakly wet
WEBSep 26, 2008 · In weakly wet media, we find that the dissipation is dominated by a linear viscous loss due to the liquid films trapped at the grain surface asperities. Adding more liquid enables us to form the capillary menisci but does not increase the energy loss. The dissipation of an elastic wave in dry and wet glass bead packings is measured using ...
