Higher frequency results

The more interesting case is that for higher frequencies, in which case it is now understood (Berryman et al., 2000, 2002; Berryman and Wang, 2001) that the simple Biot-Gassmann theory is actually inadequate because there can be dependence of $\mu$ on liquid saturant properties at high frequencies, such as f > 1 kHz. The precise frequency at which this becomes important is material dependent, but it is generally observed that for ultrasonic frequencies f > 20 kHz some deviations from Biot-Gassmann predictions are normally found. So it is in this regime that the distinctions between air-filled and water-filled pores become important for the torsional motion of a cylinder.
