Abstract
The recent shear wave travel-time data of Ibrahim and Nuttli (1967) and Doyle and Hales (1967) is reinterpreted to yield a shear-velocity structure that is compatible with Johnson's (1967) compressional-velocity structure. The elastic parameters Φ, K/μ, and σ are calculated as a function of depth. All three parameters increase with depth in the homogeneous regions of the mantle but only Φ increases through the transition regions. Poisson's ratio is apparently less for the close-packed deeper mantle phases than it is for the normal phases of the upper mantle. The theoretical prediction that dμ/dP becomes negative before a phase change is verified by the seismic data.
