[Also in Division H4] To prevent sideways movement of a vehiclemounted seismic vibrator when on a sloping ground surface, the vibrator is coupled to the vehicle by hydraulic jacks controlled by a servo system such that the resultant of the forces comprising the weight of the vibrator, the reaction of the ground on the vibrator and the forces exerted on the vibrator by the jacks is perpendicular to the plane of contact of the vibrator with the ground. In the Fig. 2 embodiment the vibrator is lowered into contact with the ground, and part of the vehicle weight is transferred to the vibrator, by two jacks 9, 10. A pair of gauges (32, 33) connected in a bridge circuit (Fig. 4, not shown) measure lateral forces between the vibrator and the ground and actuate a servo system which adjusts the individual hydraulic pressures applied to the pistons of jacks 9, 10 so as to reduce the lateral forces. The gauges and bridge circuit may be adapted to measure static lateral forces, or the dynamic lateral forces arising when the vibrator is operating. The total force exerted by the jacks 9, 10 may be adjusted also. In an alternative embodiment (Figs. 5 and 6, not shown) the vibrator is mounted on the vehicle by means of two pairs of jacks (64, 67 and 65, 66) to enable the vibrator to be coupled to a ground surface sloping in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, the two jacks (64, 67) being disposed on one side of said axis and exerting equal forces, and the two jacks (65, 66) being disposed on the other side of the axis and exerting equal forces. Details of the servo system (Fig. 4) are given.</p> |
