Abstract
Three mathematical models of a two-layer seabed are considered. The fi rst assumes that both layers are elastic solids, the second that the u pper layer is poroelastic while the substrate is elastic, and the thir d that both layers are poroelastic. The first and third models are fou nd to produce reasonable agreement with data and each other, but the s econd model produces poor predictions because of mathematical incompat ibilities of the poroelastic and elastic models.
