Book excerpt: During the period 1 January - 31 December 1979, work under Contract N00014-76-C-0117 consisted of three parts: (1) use of the profilometer system to obtain in situ compressional wave data and to test in situ shear wave transducers, (2) development of theoretical models for acoustic propagation in sediments, and (3) laboratory measurements of compressional wave and shear wave parameters in laboratory sediments. Data obtained for the three parts of the program are reported. (Author).
