On Motion Environments.

Abstract

The motion environment of the seismic observatory, the inertial hardware test facility and the siloed missile differ in important aspects. For the observatory, motion is the resultant of a large number of independent sources colored by transmission through the earth and observed in the far field. The test facility reflects the near field contributions of a modest number of seismic sources, while the siloed missile's motion can be quite unrelated to ground imputs. Our study considers a number of motion attributes of significance to inertial hardware performance for these three environments both for a quiescent state and following earthquakes. (Author)
