Abstract

Numerous measurements of compressional and shear wave speed and attenuation have been made since Ed Hamilton’s classic works on sediment geoacoustic properties (1955–1987). Recent measurements of shear wave speed and attenuation are summarized; regressions between shear wave speed and attenuation and easily measured sediment physical properties are used to demonstrate the predictability of these geoacoustic properties. The effect of overburden pressure (effective stress) on shear wave speed is also discussed. [Work supported by ONR.]
