Shear-Wave Velocity Versus Depth in Marine Sediments: A Review.

摘要

In a previous report (Hamilton, 1971a), the presence and causes of dynamic rigidity (shear modulus) and shear waves in water-saturated land and marine sediments were reviewed. It was concluded that almost all marine sediments possess enough rigidity to allow transmission of shear waves. In that report, the variation of shear velocity with depth in the sediments was not considered.
