High-Frequency Shear Wave Generation at Pre-existing Cracks,
Abstract
Recent observational studies indicate that, relative to decoupled explosions, tamped explosions tend to have a larger high frequency Lg/P ratio. Discrimination using such ratios is promising, and yet little is known about the basis for this discriminant. Improved fundamental understanding of the reasons this discriminant may be successful is desired. A plausible explanation offered by Blandford (19S5) is that tamped explosions generate more high-frequency S waves due to the cracks in the source region.
