Studies of Absorption in Salt
Abstract
As result of recent studies, it has become apparent that most available data on free-field particle motion associated with underground chemical and nuclear explosions exhibit nonelastic behavior even at rather large scaled distances from the source. This observation casts suspicion on the usefulness of reduced displacement potential (RDP) calculations based upon these close range data for the purpose of defining a seismic source function (Bache et al, 1981). Experimental measurements on sandstone and igneous rocks indicate significant nonlinearity at intermediate strain amplitudes 10 to the minus 4th power and 10 to the minus 6th power.
