SEISMOLOGY AND SEISMIC MODELING: COMPILATION OF REVIEWS.

Abstract

During the past few years most of the progress made in the USSR in the field of model seismology has been in applying to seismic wave studies instruments and techniques which until recently had been only in the development stage. The experiments and research on the dynamics of seismic waves in real geologic media described in this report were carried out in the Department of Seismic Surveying Methods of the Institut fiziki Zemli. The liquid-solid models used throughout these tests were particularly advantageous because they were simple and provided a good contact between the model and the transducers and permit facilitating a quantitative study of wave dynamics. However, the fact that transverse waves are not propagated in water and, at the frequencies used, are characterized by low absorption, had to be taken into account in evaluating the results of the studies.
