Acoustics of Porous Media Including Marine Sediments

Abstract

The objective is to develop a unified theory of wave propagation in saturated granular media, particularly marine sediments. The theory should: 1) be consistent with the experimental data that have been published over the past 30 years or thereabouts; 2) be internally consistent; 3) include compressional, shear, and interface waves; and 4) be based on a well-identified physical mechanism.
