    SEISMIC MODEL EXPERIMENTS CONCERNING REFLECTED REFRACTIONS (1958)

    Notes: Seismic model experiments are described in which long strips of plexiglass were used as models. One end of the strip was sawn off at an oblique angle and, at the opposite end, the strip was excited by means of a barium titanate transducer. The experiments showed that, if the width of the strip was sufficiently small, an anomalous reflection against the oblique end occurred which travelled in the longitudinal direction of the strip. This anomalous reflection did not occur when the width of the strip was large. These results are explained on the basis of Fresnel's theory. It is inferred that, in the subsurface, refracted waves may be reflected against fault planes without the law of reflection being satisfied, provided that the refracted wave is propagated in a sufficiently thin high velocity layer.

    CHANGES OF SHAPE OF SEISMIC IMPULSES IN HOMOGENEOUS VISCOELASTIC MEDIA (1958)

    Notes: Changes of shape of seismic waves provide information on the properties of the material in which the waves propagate. Ricker (1953) has attempted to explain the changes of shape on the basis of a simple viscoelastic theory. His conclusions are at variance with those of others who find a dependence of the attenuation on frequency which could be explained only by a much more complicated linear theory or by nonlinear theories.To provide a basis for discussion, the essentials of the theory of viscoelasticity are briefly reviewed. If a relaxation spectrum, rather than one or very few relaxation times, is admitted, a great variety of experimental results can be described by the linear theory of viscoelasticity. A linear theory is indicated when no obvious violations of the principle of superposition occur.Ricker's theory is presented with some modifications which allow for a finite duration of the initial pulse and for the approximate character of his basic assumptions. There do not appear to be serious discrepancies between his theory and his experimental results. Some of the objections to his theory can be met by assuming a finite duration of the initial pulse. However, more direct measurements made under similar circumstances by McDonal et al. (1958) at the same location lead to a conclusion on the nature of the material not in accordance with Ricker's. This casts doubt on the sensitivity of his method.Laboratory measurements usually yield results which are not explainable in terms of simple viscoelastic models. Whether a linear theory with a relaxation spectrum or a nonlinear theory should apply depends much on the experimental conditions. We must also consider the possibility of nonlinear mechanisms which are active at small amplitudes. No stand is taken in this controversy, but it is pointed out that the question linear or nonlinear could be decided experimentally without considering the details of the theories.

    AN ACCURATE GRAPHICAL METHOD FOR INTERPRETING SEISMIC REFRACTION LINES (1958)

    Notes: A method of refraction computing is described which establishes the two points of incidence at the surface of the ray-paths from any point on the refractor when observed from opposing directions. The distance between these points is used to determine the radius and the centre of a circle to which the refractor must be tangential. The matching of forward and reverse data is intrinsic in the method so that the resulting profile is automatically positioned in depth. It is shown that if the effects of dip are neglected, errors are introduced in the derived radius and also in the position of the centre but these errors are shown to cancel each other almost exactly.

    RESULTS OF SUBSURFACE INVESTIGATIONS USING SEISMIC DETECTORS AND DEEP BORE HOLES (1958)

    Notes: The wells Parentis 10 and 12 which are located on the eastern edge of the Parentis anticline were found to be considerably lower at the top of the reservoir series than had been expected.Unfortunately the village of Parentis is located in this important zone and no more seismic results could be obtained which might help locate faults and give a better picture of the area. To help in our understanding of the area, we attempted to investigate the subsurface conditions surrounding the wells by shooting shaped charges or primacord in the well and recording the returning seismic energy along profiles located on the surface. Thus far, we have used this method in three wells: Parentis 10, Parentis 12 and Lugos 2.With the data given by a velocity survey in each well, time-distance curves have been calculated for several typical possibilities: horizontal layers, dipping layers and the effect of a fault. A comparison of the calculated and experimental curves shows anomalies which correspond to a change of the average velocity along the travel path, which can correspond to geological changes such as: a sudden change of dip, a fault or a thickening of the section.The anomalies have been studied on the different profiles from each well and a possible interpretation of the subsurface conditions has been given. The directions of the major accidents determined by this method are in general agreement with those found by the regular seismic shooting.

    Notes: The directional sensitivities of an array of geophones depend as much on the size of the array as on the directional sensitivities of the single geophones forming the array. In a former paper (Celminš 1956) the effect of the size of the array was investigated. In addition to this the influence of the directional sensitivities of the individual geophones on the sensitivities of an array of geophones is investigated here.In δ 2 some general formulae for the directional sensitivities are derived. In addition the directional sensitivities of a single geophone according to P- and S-waves are investigated (δ3 and δ4). In δ5 the'directional sensitivities for the most important cases of arrays of parallel geophones are computed. The results of the computation (shown in fig. 4 and 5) give an idea of the types of directional sensitivities which occur in the use of geophone arrays.

    THE PULSED VIBRATOR AS A SEISMIC SOURCE (1957)

    Notes: Non-explosive seismic sources, notably the falling weight and the eccentric machine, have occasionally proved advantageous in experimental and practical seismology in spite of their relative feebleness.Another alternative is the pulsed vibrator, which offers the advantage of a completely controllable waveform. Recent theory shows that such a source is quite well adapted to the radiation of high frequency waves from the surface of the ground; it is estimated, for example, that in typical circumstances reflections should be obtainable from depths of the order of 200 metres. The theory also shows how resonances may be avoided so as to radiate the impulsive waveform unimpaired.

    Notes: A brief description of the procedure usually adopted for ascertaining the accuracy o aeromagnetic data is given as a background to the discussion of factors which affect this accuracy. These factors fall mainly into two groups: spatial positioning, i.e. relation to the ground surface, and effects contributing to the observed relative magnetic values. The evaluation of the observed anomalies in terms of the most probable causes and the anomalies themselves are directly influenced by the amount of the available control of factors mentioned above. The effects of various factors, such as plan positioning, height keeping, diurnal drift, are discussed, the arguments being based on theoretical and practical premises.
