Complex for experimental research of elastic wave interactions with ice layer

Abstract

An adjustable pneumatic generator of acoustic signals with shock excitation was developed. Measuring and computing complex was also created to investigate elastic acoustic wave propagation along ice surface. Experiments on low-frequency acoustic signal propagation from the pneumatic generator were carried out in «water-ice-air» system. The possibility to apply the developed measuring and computing complex for physical modeling of acoustic wave propagation from earthquake sources along ice cover was confirmed.
