Ultrasonic velocities of unconsolidated sand: Evaluating the microstructure and contact based models

Microstructure and grain shape factors largely affect the seismic velocities through unconsolidated sands. Moreover, parameters such as coordination number (CN) and contact surface area are dependent on the grain sorting and grains shape factors. We use 3D micro-CT images to quantify the microstruct...
