Summary
In this note the high frequency wave propagation in a nearly saturated poroelastic medium is studied on the basis of the Vardoulakis-Beskos equations of motion. The effects of the degree of saturation, the solid particle compressibility and the pore radius on the wave propagation velocities and attenuations in the high frequency range are determined and compared against those in the low frequency range.
