Simulation model of an electromagnetic percussion source for shallow depth prospecting seismology
Relevance. The basic method for solving problems of ore and engineering geology is the seismic method for studying the geological structure of shallow depths under the ground surface where non-explosive ground sources of elastic waves are used. It is known that increasing the efficiency of the seismic method when it is applied at shallow depths until 500 m is achieved by using electromagnetic percussion sources of seismic vibrations. Electromagnetic percussion generators of seismic-waves can generate wideband signals and have high efficiency of the impact energy transfer. The topic of the research is urgent as electromagnetic seismic-wave generators are perspective for the practical application in seismic prospecting and it is necessary to improve methods of dynamic calculation of them. Aim. To develop a simulation dynamic model of the electromagnetic drive of the electromagnetic percussion seismic source for the analysis of electromechanical processes taking into account the interaction of inertial masses in a mechanical system accompanied by energy losses. Method. Electrical balance of voltages in an electromechanical system, variation principles based on Lagrange equations of the second kind, finite-element simulation of magnetic field, numeric simulation of differential equation in Matlab Simulink where block diagrams are used, comparison of calculation and experimental data. Results. The authors have developed the simulation dynamic model of the electric drive of the electromagnetic percussion seismic source. Using the model for the analysis of electromechanical processes and making adjustments when selecting the main design elements allows improving the quality of designing of electromagnetic drives of seismic sources. The dynamic model takes into account the nonlinear properties of the applied structural materials, scattering flows and energy losses in the electromechanical system. The paper introduces the results of simulation modeling in transient quasi-steady-state modes and gives the comparison of the results of numerical calculations based on the created model with the experimental data. It is advisable to control the process of regulating the kinetic energy at the output of the seismic source during the working stroke of the striker.
