Abstract: | The dependence of bulk sound speed Vφ upon mean atomic weight and density ρ can be expressed in a single equation: Here B is an empirically determined “universal” parameter equal to 1.42, , a reference mean atomic weight for which well-determined elastic properties exist, and λ = 1.25 is a semi empirical parameter equal to where γ is a Grüneisen parameter. The constant c = (? ln VM/? ln , where VM is molar volume, is in general different for different crystal structure series and different cation substitutions. However, it is possible to use cFe = 0.14 for Fe2+Mg2+ and GeSi substitutions and cCa ? 1.3 for CaMg substitutional series. With these values it is pos to deduce from the above equation Birch's law, its modifications introduced by Simmons to account for Ca-bearing minerals, variations in the seismic equation of state observed by D.L. Anderson, and the apparent proportionality of bulk modulus K to VM?4. |
