821057 POSSIBLE MECHANISM FOR SEISMIC ATTENUATION IN ROCKS CONTAINING 8~4ALL AMOUNTS OF VOLATILES Tittmarm, B R; Clark~ V A; Richardson, J M J Geophys Res, V85, NB10, l0 Oct 1980, P5199-

5208 Presents measurements of the specific dissipation factar of rocks containing small amounts of water, methanol, ethanol, hexane and benzene, and discusses the results in terms of relative mass of adsorbed volatiles, surface area of the rock, heat of desorption of the volatile, and the rock temperature. 821058 EFFECT OF PARTIAL GAS/BRINE SATURATION ON ULTRASONIC ABSORI~ION IN SANDSTONE Frisillo, A L; Stewart I T J J Geophys Res, V85, NBIO, i0 Oct 1980, P5209-

52n Ultrasonic P wave velocities and absorption have been measured for Be~ea sandstone as a function of different nitrogen gas and brine saturations at 103.3bar net confining pressure. Results show larger absorption for partial gas/brine-saturation than for either complete gas or complete brine saturation° 821059 C O M P [ ~ CODE FOR NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF SHOCK WAVES IN FLUIDS AND SOLIDS Cooper, T Swedish Detonic Research Foundation relx~rt DS 1980:16, 22 Dec 1980, 47P

The report describes a Lagrangian finite difference method in one or two space coordinates. The materials are discretized on a triangular mesh for the two-dimensional case. The equations of motion are integrated with the so called forcemass method. Comparisons with an analytical solution and an experiment are made. Three sample computations are treated. Auth.

Model stress Imofiles are constructed from representative olivine rheologies0 The weakening effects of water are discussed in qualitative terms.
