Abstract
Summary
We make use of the averaging of the elastic properties of the fluid-filled fractured rock with consideration of the extremely slow and dispersive Krauklis wave propagation within individual fractures. The presence of Krauklis wave tends to the high dispersion of the effective velocity and remarkably increases the amplitude of the reflection from the fractured medium as a layer, in particular at low frequencies.
