Abstract
A system consisting of an elastic matrix with randomly distributed por es of uniform shapes but with sizes governed by a power-law distributi on is investigated in a theoretical way. The velocities of elastic wav es propagating through such a system are calculated. The obtained resu lts are that the velocities decrease with increasing total porosity an d for a given porosity velocities moderately decrease with increasing absolute value of the exponent D in a power-law distribution of pore s izes.
