Force or pressure feedback control for seismic vibrators
Patent
·
OSTI ID:6338082
A seismic vibrator source having an hydraulic vibrator coupled to vibrate a ground pad is provided with one or more force transducers such as, for example, load cells, strain gauges, or piezoelectric elements for measuring the force applied to the earth. Signals indicative of the pressure force are applied to a controller for the hydraulic vibrator to adjust control signals to prevent decoupling of the ground pad from the earth during ground seismic operations.
