Deformation and acoustic emission of Neapolitan Yellow Tuff

Dataset title Deformation and acoustic emission of Neapolitan Yellow Tuff

Dataset theme Geoscientific Information
Dataset abstract

These data represent a series of analyses exploring the seismic behaviours of low-cohesion volcanic sediments – in this case the Neapolitan Yellow Tuff - under varying strain rates. The data include deformation logs from triaxial compression experiments, and the accompanying 12-channel acoustic emission recordings at 10 MHz. These are paired with X-Ray Computed Tomography images of one of the cores from both before and after deformation, to examine damage behaviour.

These data include:
Deformation logs captured from the triaxial press
Acoustic emission event data
Processed acoustic emission sonograms for selected events
Matlab code for processing of sonograms
Matlab code for statistical analysis of the acoustic emission data

Before and after X-Ray Computed tomography data for a core which underwent 2% strain at a rate of 4x10-6 s-1.
