THE RESPONSE OF SOILS TO DYNAMIC LOADINGS, REPORT NO. 25: MISCELLANEOUS STUDIES OF THE FORMATION OF WAVE FRONTS IN SAND.

Abstract

This report contains: (1) Data concerning the stress-strain behavior of dry Monterey sand using initial static stresses ranging from 2 to 20 psi: (a) Stress-strain curves for one-dimensional compression with rise-times on the order of 25 milliseconds and stress increments of 100 psi; (b) Dilatational wave velocities measured using ultrasonic pulses and pulses generated by a hammer blow; (2) Theory for the dispersion of a wave front passing through a system of discrete particles.
