The viscoelastic characterization of marine sediment in large-scale simple shear.

To obtain deformation properties of submarine sediment a device which imposes a simple shear state of strain was designed. A thorough literature review was conducted to evaluate the merits of previously developed simple shear devices. A large-scale simple shear device capable of testing a 24 by 24 i...
