Title: The influence of rock material models on seismic discrimination of underground nuclear explosions

Conference ·
OSTI ID:93963

We found that the spectral characteristics of the seismic signal from underground explosions were mainly determined by the rock material strength and the gas porosity. Both the unloading characteristics and the amplitude of the ``elastic toe`` are important parameters in the porous model.
