Modeling of Sediment Mechanics for Mine Burial Prediction

Abstract

Numerical model development and testing were carried out for the purpose of assessing the influence of seafloor liquefaction on the burial of mines in shallow water due to cyclic loading by surface water waves. This project was conducted as part of the Office of Naval Research Mine Burial Prediction program (Code 321).
