A review of seismic rock physics models
地震岩石物理模型综述

In the past ten years, as a result of the great progress in oil exploration and development technologies, the rock physics become a very useful discipline and it establishes the relationship between physical properties of rocks and seismic properties. The theoretical model is one of the primary methods to study rock physics. This paper summarizes and discusses some frequently used models of elastic properties of media that are applicable to rocks including the sheet model, spherical pore model, inclusion models and contact models, as well as their assumptions, range of applicability and limitations. It also describes the application of the models at home and abroad in recent years. At last, the development tendency on research of seismic rock physics is forecasted.
