Kaiser effect (material science) Kaiser effect (material science) The Kaiser effect is a phenomenon observed in geology and material science that describes a pattern of acoustic emission or seismicity in a body of rock or other material subjected to repeated cycles of mechanical stress. In material that exhibits an initial seismic response under a certain load, the Kaiser effect describes the absence of acoustic emission or seismic events until that load is exceeded. The Kaiser effect results from discontinuities (fractures) created in material during previous steps that do not move, expand, or propagate until the former stress is exceeded.

Seismic inverse Q filtering from the phase. Comparing with fig.1.b. we can see that the smaller the reference frequency f in the forward solution,the more phase effect we get. In the inverse solution (1.8.a) we have the opposite effect,the higher value of f the more the forward phase effect is compensated, toward a causal solution. The graphs give a good illustration of Q-filtering according to the theory of Wang. However, more calculations should be done and more seismic models should be introduced. The effect of amplitude inverse Q-filtering should also be studied. Seismic inverse Q filtering Seismic inverse Q filtering is a data processing
