Seismic imaging using an e-vib: A case study analyzing the signal properties of a seismic vibrator driven by electric linear synchronous motors (LSM's)

Seismic imaging characteristics of a prototype electrically driven, linear synchronous motor-based, vertical-force seismic vibrator ("e-vib") were evaluated at a site in the Netherlands. The system weighs 1.65 t and excites seismic signals with a peak force of 6.7 kN. Data were recorded along two collocated geophone-based nodal and...
