Geoacoustic Parameters of Marine Sediments: Theory and Experiment

Abstract

Based on at-sea experiments and the development of new theories, the long term objective is to characterize rigorously the inter-relationships that exist between the geo-acoustic properties (i.e., sound speed, sound attenuation, shear speed, shear attenuation, density, porosity, grain size, grain shape and overburden pressure) of saturated, unconsolidated granular media such as marine sediments.
