He graduated with a B . S . in physics in 1948, then performed graduate work at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he measured second sound velocity in liquid helium.

Using new techniques for calibrating the epicenter of past earthquakes and oil company data on sound velocities, Shearer discovered that the Whittier Narrows earthquake was caused by the Puente Hills fault.

Transducers used in sound velocity probes are typically of a high frequency ( around 1-4 MHz ) as the transmit and receive distances are close enough to mitigate any significant absorption losses.
24.
In non-ideal gas behavior regimen, for which the van der Waals gas equation would be used, the proportionality is not exact, and there is a slight dependence of sound velocity on the gas pressure.
25.
Numerical substitution of the above values gives the ideal gas approximation of sound velocity for gases, which is accurate at relatively low gas pressures and densities ( for air, this includes standard Earth sea-level conditions ).
26.
However, vibrational modes simply cause gammas which decrease toward 1, since vibration modes in a polyatomic gas gives the gas additional ways to store heat which do not affect temperature, and thus do not affect molecular velocity and sound velocity.

During the conference, there were numerous tours and briefings held on " Silas Bent " describing, for the ocean scientists of the world, her capabilities for measuring bathymetric depth, magnetic intensity, gravity, surface temperature, seismic reflection, sound velocity, ambient light, and salinity.

Interest in elastic properties made its entrance with 17th century philosophers, but the real theory of elasticity, indicating that the elastic constants of a material could be obtained by measuring sound velocities in that material, was summarized only two hundred of years later.

According to the Kramers-Kronig relation, the dispersion in the sound velocity ( given by the real part of " K " or " G " ) goes along with a maximum in the sound attenuation ( dissipation, given by the imaginary part of " K " or " G " ).
