SEISMIC SOURCE APPARATUS FOR SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION AND METHOD OF GENERATING VIBRATION USING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a seismic source apparatus for subsurface exploration, which has a simple configuration, is capable of easily moving under water and successively operating at multiple locations, features superior mobility, work efficiency, and handleability, is capable of selectively generating P-waves or S-waves, and offers superior operational stability, versatility, and reliability and certainty of subsurface structural analysis.;SOLUTION: A seismic source apparatus for subsurface exploration includes; a mobile main body; a movable wing which is located on each side of the mobile main body and is swingable in the vertical direction; a tail fin which extends from the rear of the mobile main body and is swingable in the horizontal direction; a hammer unit located on a bottom surface of each movable wing; one or more mobile main body securing units which protrude downward from a bottom section of the mobile main body; and a tail fin securing unit which extends downward from a rear end section of the tail fin.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT
