Acoustics of in Situ and Laboratory Sediments.

Abstract

Work reported here consisted of three parts: (1) in situ determination of compressional wave speed in ocean sediments using the ARL:UT profilometer; (2) development of transducers to measure shear wave and acoustic impedance parameters of sediments both in situ and in the laboratory; and (3) laboratory measurement of shear wave and compressional wave parameters of real and artificial sediments. Data obtained for the three parts of the program are reported. (Author)
