Jl. Buchanan et Rp. Gilbert, TRANSMISSION LOSS IN THE FAR-FIELD OVER A ONE-LAYER SEABED ASSUMING THE BIOT SEDIMENT MODEL, Zeitschrift fur angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, 77(2), 1997, pp. 121-135
A system of differential equations is derived from Biot's constitutive
and motion equations for a poroelastic material and a model for a one
-layer seabed is constructed. A normal modes representation for pressu
re in the far field is found ii? the case of constant parameters. The
model's prediction for transmission loss is examined for five differen
t types of sediments and compared to the predictions of a solid elasti
c halfspace model.
