: The work done during the first year under the contract 'Explosion Generated Seismic Waves' is discussed The technique used in the interpretation of source mechanisms of nuclear explosions using Rayleigh and Love waves is described Theoretical calculations to determine the stress wave pulse shapes from an explosive source in a cavity are carried out for two and three dimensional geometry The generation and development of Rayleigh waves from a point source in a half-space are studied utilizing Cagniard-deHoop technique (Author)read more

Generation of seismic waves by explosions in prestressed media
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used LRSM seismograms from the underground nuclear explosion BILBY to determine the source parameters from radiated Love and Rayleigh waves and found that the tectonic strain energy release strongly depends on the medium properties in the immediate vicinity of the explosion.
FREE-FIELD PARTICLE MOTION FROM A NUCLEAR EXPLOSION IN SALT. PART II. Project 12.11 of PROJECT DRIBBLE, SALMON EVENT.
J.D. Eisler,H.V. Hoffman +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a 5-kt tamped underground nuclear explosion in salt, Project 12.11 measured acceleration, velocity, displacement, and strain with vertical component gages at several depths above the shot, with multicomponent gages on the surface.

Body force equivalents for seismic dislocations
R. Burridge,Leon Knopoff +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an explicit expression for the body force to be applied in the absence of a dislocation, which produces radiation identical to that of the dislocation was derived for dislocations in an anisotropic inhomogeneous medium.
