Seismic analysis of fluid mud: Detection of shear parameters in fluid mud and the relation between seismic velocities and yield stresses

In this research, a new measuring method to detect shear parameters in fluid mud is proposed, namely using shear waves, or S-waves opposed to the conventional pressure waves, or P-waves. Currently, detecting fluid mud is done by the use of P-waves. This paper shows that conventional P-waves velocity measurements are unsuitable for linking...
