Experimental Evidence for Slow Compressional Waves

Publication: Journal of Engineering Mechanics
Volume 131, Issue 9

Abstract

One of the most conspicuous aspects of the Biot–Frenkel theory is the existence of the slow compressional wave. An overview is given of the various experimental techniques that were/are used to study its appearance and properties.
