EFFECT OF ALIGNMENT ON THE QUALITY OF BENDER ELEMENT PROCEDURE
One of the main geophysical tools (seismic tools) in the laboratory is the bender element. This tool can be used to measure some dynamic soil properties (e.g. shear and Young’s modulus). However, even if it relatively simple to use the bender element, inconsistent testing procedures can cause poor quality in the bender element data.

Wavelet analysis of bender element signals [PDF]
Accurate determination of shear wave arrival time using bender elements may be severely affected by a combination of near-field effects and reflected waves. These may mask the first arrival of the shear wave, making its detection difficult in the time domain. This paper describes an approach for measuring the shear wave arrival time through analysis of

Experimental study on small-strain shear modulus of calcareous sand
The small-strain shear modulus is an important parameter indicating soil stiffness in geotechnical engineering. In this study, the multidirectional bender element technique is used to investigate the small-strain shear modulus of calcareous sand from ...

Shear modulus of hydrate bearing calcareous sand-fines mixture [PDF]
This article presents a laboratory study on the maximum shear modulus of a THF hydrate bearing calcareous sand (CS)–fines mixture. The maximum shear modulus was inferred from the shear wave velocity measured from the bender elements installed in a ...

The maximum shear modulus of expansive soil during wetting-drying processes and its prediction
In order to examine the dynamic characteristics of expansive soil in natural environment, the maximum shear modulus of undisturbed and remoulded Nanyang expansive soil specimens were tested by using a triaxial apparatus equipping with a pair of bender ...

Experimental Study on the Aeolian Sand Solidification via MICP Technique
This study solidifies the aeolian sand by microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) technique. The effects of cementation solution with different concentrations, particle size, and grouting batches are examined via the bender element, unconfined ...

Static and dynamic characterisation of Agartala peat [PDF]
Peat is a unique soil type whose properties vary widely compared to other soils due to its high water content, low shear strength and high compressibility. Thus, construction on peat deposits is challenging and needs proper attention from engineers.

Design of an Acoustic Bender Transducer for Active Sonobuoys
Recent underwater vehicles can operate with a much lower level of noise, which increases the need for an active sonobuoy with a high detection performance. These active sonobuoys mainly use bender transducers as a projector that emits sound waves.
