Summary

In investigating the dynamic processes of the generation of stress waves in the nearest zone of seismic sources, questions concerned with their frequency pattern are very important. In this paper the frequency content of stress waves is expressed by the relative width of their amplitude spectrum. Measurements of stress waves close to a spherical explosive source in gravel-sandy soil, in loess, and in limestone have been realized earlier. This paper discusses the dependence of the frequency content of stress waves on the physical parameters of the medium, on the size of the charge and on the distance from the source.
