... to investigate their effect on seismic signatures. Previous experimental data from the New England Damage Experiment (e.g., Martin et al. , 2012 ) suggest that low‐frequency P ‐wave amplitudes are affected by the explosive velocity of detonation and by the thermodynamic characteristics of gaseous explosive...

.... The explosions were detonated using three types of explosives with different velocities of detonation: black powder ( BP ), ammonium nitrate fuel oil/emulsion ( ANFO ), and composition B ( COMP B ). The main objective of the experiment was to study differences in seismic‐wave generation among different types...

...) published in radionuclide contamination and environmental studies, combined with satellite imagery, allow for the improvement of the coordinates of these detonations. We are able to link disturbed areas visible in satellite imagery to probable detonation sites for all PNE s conducted in the Sakha Republic...

...Thomas M. Brocher Abstract Magnitude–charge size relations have important uses in forensic seismology and are used in Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty monitoring. I derive empirical magnitude versus detonation-charge-size relationships for 322 detonations located by permanent seismic networks...

...I. K. Karpov; V. S. Zubkov; V. A. Bychinskii; M. V. Artimenko A quantitative thermodynamic model for detonation of metastable accumulations of heavy hydrocarbons ascending from the upper mantle is considered. The Chapman-Jouguet detonation parameters were determined by minimizing the minus-enthropy...

...C. W. Olsen Abstract Radial and transverse strain seismometers using 6.1-m Invar rods were installed 457, 914, and 1524 m from ground zero on a nuclear detonation at the Nevada Test Site. The detonation, Hutch, took place in alluvium at a depth of 548 m and gave a body-wave magnitude of 5.4 ± 0.2...

...W. W. Hays abstract Elastic wave types generated by the Boxcar underground nuclear detonation were identified and analyzed to determine their amplitude and frequency characteristics as a function of distance. The amplitude characteristics of the identified wave types were determined to vary...

Weart abstract Strong motion parameters from the Project gnome operation were measured in the region extending 60 to 480 meters from the center of detonation or working point along both vertical and horizontal radii. Travel time data from the horizontal radius reveals three distinct...

...Lorenz Shock Abstract The relative efficiencies of various sizes of explosive charges for the generation of seismic energy were investigated and a procedure devised whereby a number of charges of the most efficient size would be detonated progressively in such a manner that the energy from all...

...J. Taylor; G. Morris; T. C. Richards Abstract Field tests have shown that no significant difference in amplitude or frequency of the first arrivals of refracted waves at distances from 6,000 to 20,000 feet, is found from explosives having velocities of detonation in the range 7,500 to 1,100 metres...

...Robert W. Lawrence Abstract Results of photographic work on the detonation of high explosives are presented and discussed in their relationship to the hydrodynamic theory of detonation. The two most important properties of an explosive are its strength and its detonation velocity. Methods...
