Vibroseis principle

Replace explosive when possible


A vibrating system generates a distributed energy
The vibration generated is called a sweep (A,F, )
Energy concentred by mathematical process = correlation

Correlation

Force applied to the ground
Peak force
Maximum value of ground force = 90% of Peak force

Drive
Percentage of max ground force used
High Drive: Nominal force is about 80% Peak Force
Low Drive: Nominal force is about 50% Peak Force

Sweep Definition

Taper start Taper end

The SWEEP is defined by:


Its length
Its frequency range (fmax-fmin)
Its frequency variation function (Up, Down, linear,
exponential, log etc...)
Its Amplitude variation function and its TAPER
Its initial phase

Distorsion

Mechanical complexity of the vibrator


Coupling of the baseplate with the ground

=> Non linear events = Distorsion

Harmonic distorsion is the most easily


measurable component of distorsion
