Sound Velocity, Elasticity, and Related Properties of Marine Sediments, North Pacific. 2. Elasticity and Elastic Constants

Abstract

A study of the elastic properties of marine sediments from three major environments of the North Pacific: the continental terrace (shelf and slope), abyssal plain (turbidite), and abyssal hill (pelagic). Elastic constants are measured and computed. Discussions cover elastic and viscoelastic models, compressibility, bulk modulus, rigidity (shear) modulus, Lame's constant, Poisson's ratio, density, shear- and compressional-wave velocities, and interrelationships between these and other physical properties.
