A Refined Mathematical Model of an Electromagnetic Seismic Source

In this paper, we consider the construction of a mathematical model of a pulsed electromagnetic seismic source. The operation of this seismic source is a complex process of electromechanical-energy conversion, which involves a capacitive energy storage, a power electromagnet, an inertial mass, and the adjacent soil. An elastic-viscous soil model was used while constructing a mathematical model. Based on comparison of the characteristics obtained using the model with the test results of the layout sample of the seismic source, the efficiency of the model is shown to be sufficient for practical use.
