Title: Tuned vibrator with a compliant connection to the base plate

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5499725

To increase the energy of seismic waves transmitted by a vibrator, one or more compliant members are connected between the driver and the base plate of the vibrator. The compliance of the compliant member is such that it is substantially rigid at the natural frequency of the vibrator, and that the natural frequency of the driven load of the vibrator is in the siesmic spectrum but is higher than the natural frequency of the vibrator.
