Effects of shear elasticity on sea bed scattering: numerical examples.
It is known that marine sediments can support both compressional and shear waves. However, published work on scattering from irregular elastic media has not examined the influence of shear on sea bed scattering in detail. A perturbation model previously developed by the authors for joint roughness-volume scattering is used to study the effects of elasticity for three sea bed types: sedimentary ...
متن کاملUsing Penetrometers to Measure Sea Bed Properties
The principal objective of this work has been to develop a set of mechanical, remote-sensing tools that will permit the determination of the main geotechnical variables that control mine burial in the bottom. These variables include the shear strength of both soft, fine-grained sediments and coarser, dilative granular sediments. A further objective is to understand better the response of typica...
متن کاملScattering of surface waves over an uneven sea-bed
This work is concerned with the scattering of a train of progressive waves by a small undulation of the bottom of a laterally unbounded sea, using two-dimensional linear water wave theory. Assuming irrotational motion, a simplified perturbation analysis is employed to obtain the first-order corrections to the velocity potential by using the Green’s integral theorem in a suitable manner, and the...

متن کاملForces at the Sea Bed using a Finite Element Solution of the Mild Slope Wave Equation
An algorithm to compute forces at the sea bed from a finite element solution to the mild slope wave equation is devised in this work. The algorithm is best considered as consisting of two logical parts: The first is concerned with the computation of the derivatives to a finite element solution, given the associated mesh; the second is a bi–quadratic least squares fit which serves to model the s...
