Laboratory and Field Studies of Sediment Acoustics.

Abstract

Work under Contract consisted of three parts: (1) redesign and updating of the ARL:UT profilometer system used to measure in situ sound velocities of ocean bottom sediments, (2) development of transducers to measure shear wave and acoustic impedance parameters of sediments, and (3) laboratory measurements to develop and confirm theoretical models for acoustic propagation in sediments. Data obtained for the three parts of the program are reported.
