摘要

Abstract

To understand the acoustic and physical properties of piston core samples collected from the Sunda continental shelf and analyze their distribution patterns

the samples were analyzed in laboratory

from which three provinces were divided in sound speed

sound speed ratio

porosity

wet bulk density

and maximum shear strength. Province Ⅰ had lower sound speed and sound speed ratio (

1.04)

high porosity

and low wet bulk density. Province Ⅱ had higher sound speed and sound speed ratio (

1.04)

low porosity

and high wet bulk density. Province Ⅲ had the lowest sound speed and sound speed ratio (0.99)

highest porosity (81%)

and lowest wet bulk density (1.34 g/cm

). The distribution pattern indicates that sediment movement

sediment source

topography

and hydrodynamic conditions influenced the distribution of acoustic and physical properties. Furthermore

we investigated the relationship of the maximum shear strength to the porosity and wet bulk density

and found that the maximum shear strength was proportional to both the porosity and wet bulk density. This finding has significant implications for ocean engineering applications.
