Measurement of the Complex Dynamic Rigidity of Recent Marine Sediments.

Abstract

The report tests and develops a viscoelastometer, possible suitable for in situ measurement, and applies it to the measurement of dynamic rigidity of real ocean sediments. The following sections describe the theory of measurement, the equipment and procedures, sample collection and preparation, the limitations of the method, and results of the various rigidity determinations. A discussion of results and recommendations for future research are then presented.
