Acoustical Properties of Sediments.

Abstract

The work consisted of (1) final development of the ARL:UT profilometer recorder and transducer to enable the in situ measurement of compressional wave, shear wave, acoustic impedance, and static shear strength of ocean bottom sediments during geophysical coring, and (2) laboratory acoustical measurements on artificial sediments to test predictions of the Hovem model when the pore fluid viscosity is varied. The new profilometer recorder and transducer are described in detail as well as the microcomputer band playback system. Data obtained from the laboratory measurements are displayed.
