Abstract: | DIAS (duomorph in situ acquisition system) is an alternate technology requiring a single duomorph probe for measuring shear modulus in situ. The duomorph probe is a bending plate device that is vibrated and the resulting deflections measured using strain gauges. The ratio between the unconstrained bending of the duomorph in air and the constrained bending in sediment is a function of the sediment dynamic modulus from which shear modulus is calculated. This paper describes the theory underlying the DIAS system, the design of the system, the data reduction methods, and results from the initial deployment of the prototype system in Eckernförde Bay. |
