The Effects of Poro-Elasticity, Grain Dynamics and Rough Interface Scattering on the Broadband Acoustic Behavior in Water Saturated Unconsolidated Sediment

Friday, November 18, 2005 4:00 p.m. Dr. Marcia Isakson Applied Research Laboratories The University of Texas at Austin http://wwwext.arlut.utexas.edu Unconsolidated sediments comprise much of the world’s littoral ocean bottoms. Therefore it is important to understand the acoustics of these materials in order to model long range coastal propagation and shallow water sediment characterization. However, the…
