Two Topics in Sediment Acoustics

Friday, May 5, 2000 4:00 p.m. Dr. Masao Kimura Tokai University Shizuoka, Japan http://www.u-tokai.ac.jp (1) Shear wave velocity measurements using radiation impedance. Shear wave velocity is important in characterizing surficial marine sediments. It was demonstrated that the shear wave velocities in viscoelastic media can be determined from the frequency at which the radiation reactance becomes…
