Magnetostrictive materials have nonlinear elasto-magnetic properties. However the constitutive equations to describe the nonlinear properties are not available, yet. In this study we develope the equation in magnetostrictive materials by use of piezomagnetic constitutive equation which is quasi-linearized. With the wave equation, we determine the propagation velocity inside the magnetostrictive materials when a plane wave propagates along a given magnetic field. Validity of the calculated velocity is verified through comparison with experimental velocity measurement results for the most representative magnetostrictive materials. Terfenol-D.

In April 2008, KIGAM carried out an ocean-bottom seismometer (OBS) survey in the central Ulleung Basin where strong bottom simulating reflectors (BSRs) were revealed from previous surveys and some gas-hydrate samples were retrieved by direct sampling. The purpose of this survey is to estimate the velocity structure near the BSR in the gas hydrate prospect area using wide-angle seismic data recorded on the ocean-bottom seismometers. Along with the OBS survey, a 2-D seismic survey was performed whereby stratigraphic and preliminary velocity information was obtained. Two methods were applied to wide-angle data for estimating P wave velocity; one is velocity analysis in the $\tau$-p domain and the other is seismic traveltime inversion. A 1-D interval velocity profile was obtained by the first method, which was refined to layered velocity structure by the latter method. A layer stripping method was adopted for modeling and inversion. All velocity profiles at each OBS site clearly show velocity reversal at BSR depths due to the presence of gas hydrates. In addition, we could confirm high velocity in the column/chimney structure.

탄성파 탐사는 인공지진파를 이용하여 지표면 하부의 물성을 알아내는 지구물리탐사로서 20 세기 초부터 석유탐사와 공학적 지반조사에 가장 널리 사용되었다. 굴절법 탄성파 탐사는 지층의 탄성파 속도를 알아내는 방법으로서 최근에는 석조문화재 등의 지반특성 조사에서 사용된 예가 있다. 이번 연구에서는 공주 공산성의 쌍수정 광장에 위치하는 공산성 원형연못 주변의 지반에 대하여 굴절법 탐사를 실시하였다. 쌍수정 광장은 기존의 발굴조사를 통하여 백제 추정왕궁지가 위치한 곳으로 알려졌으며, 광장 남쪽에 원형연못(상면직경 7.3 m, 바닥직경 4.78 m, 높이 3 m)도 발굴되었다. 원형연못 주변에 5개 탄성파 측선을 설치하였고, 해머 타격점과 수신기의 배열을 3가지 다른 방식을 적용하여 24 m, 31 m, 48 m 측선깊이의 굴절법 자료를 얻었다. 대체로 공산성 원형연못 주변의 지반은 3개 층으로 구성되어 있다. 각 층의 겉보기 속도는 약 261${\~}$391 m/s, 약 591${\~}$992 m/s, 약 1950${\~}$3230 m/s이며, 첫 번째와 두 번째 층의 두께는 각각 약 2${\~}$2.4 m 와 4.6${\~}$8.6 m이다. 일반적으로 최하부 층의 속도는 기반암, 상부층들의 속도는 풍화토에 대응한다. 그러나 두 번째 층의 주시곡선 형태와 속도범위는 국내 석탑 문화재 하부의 것과 유사한 것으로 보아 공산성 연못주변은 인공적인 기초지반의 가능성을 제기하며, 그렇다면 공산성 원형연못은 파내려 간 것보다는 쌓아 올렸을 것이다.

두 물체의 충격운동량-충격 및 탄성파 발생의 순으로 작용하도록 하면 계 내에서 충돌 후 생기는 운동량의 관성 속도와 충돌기간동안 발생하는 탄성파의 충격에너지 전달속도가 다른 경우가 있다. 이것은 충돌기간동안 총 운동량은 보존되나 선 운동량이 비 보존되는 경우가 있어서 충돌기간동안 비 보존된 내부 운동량의 시간 적분만큼 충돌을 가한 질량중심이 이동했다는 의미이다. 충돌기간동안 충격파는 탄성파에 근사시키고 그것은 군속도에 근사시켜 이론적 근거를 만들고 실험에 의해 확인했다. 폐쇄된 계 내에서 내부에너지를 이용하여 특별한 두 물체의 충돌기간동안 비 보존되는 운동량 때문에 질량중심이 이동되는 것에 대해 해석한다.

The strength of frozen soils is one of the significant design parameters for the construction in frozen ground. The properties of frozen soils should be investigated to understand the strength of frozen soils. The objective of this study is to figure out the characteristics of elastic waves in frozen soils, which reflect the constituent and physical structure of frozen soils in order to provide fundamental information of those according to the degree of saturation. Freezing cell is manufactured to freeze specimens, which are prepared with the degree of saturation of 10%, 40%, and 100%. Piezo disk elements are used as the compressional wave transducers and Bender elements are used as the shear wave transducers. While the temperature of specimens changes from $20^{\circ}C$ to $-10^{\circ}C$, the velocities, resonant frequencies and amplitudes of the compressional and shear waves are investigated based on the elastic wave signatures. Experimental results reveal that the elastic wave velocities increase as the degree of saturation increases. The variation of resonant frequencies coincide with that of elastic wave velocities. A marked discrepancy in amplitudes of compressional and shear waves are observed at the temperature of $0^{\circ}C$. This study renders the basic information of elastic waves in frozen soils according the degree of saturation.

3D seismic tomography technique was assessed for applicability of developed 3D tomography algorithm based on Fresnel volume in the dam-planned area. Reconstructed 3D tomogram based on Fresnel volume and Fast Marching Method(FMM) reveals similar velocity structure to the other geotechnical survey results. With the correlation analysis between RMR data and seismic velocity information, it could provide reliable information of rock mass rate. The applicability of 3D seismic tomography was verified in this study. It would be expected to apply 3D tomography with new developed first arrival calculation and inversion algorithm to the engineering field economically.

Remote seismic tomography is regarded as one of the most valuable geophysical technique for the estimation of the rock mass classification in the tunnel area where hard data information such as drill logs are absent. But the results of rock mass classification based on the remote seismic tomography tend to be overestimated in practice. In this study, we propose the effective method to implement the seismic reference velocity ratio based on semblance for the improvement of rock mass classification. Also, to verify its feasibility, proposed technique was tested by using the real field data.

The tau-p inversion algorithm is widely employed to generate starting models with most computer programs, which implement refraction tomography. This algorithm emphasises the vertical resolution of many layers, and as a result, it frequently fails to detect even large lateral variations in seismic velocities, such as the decreases which are indicative of shear zones. This study demonstrates the failure of the tau-p inversion algorithm to detect or define a major shear zone which is 50m or 10 stations wide. Furthermore, the majority of refraction tomography programs parameterise the seismic velocities within each layer with vertical velocity gradients. By contrast, the Generalized Reciprocal Method (GRM) inversion algorithms emphasise the lateral resolution of individual layers. This study demonstrates the successful detection and definition of the 50m wide shear zone with the GRM inversion algorithms. The existence of the shear zone is confirmed by a 2D analysis of the head wave amplitudes and by numerous closely spaced orthogonal seismic profiles carried out as part of a later 3D refraction investigation. Furthermore, an analysis of the shot record amplitudes indicates that a reversal in the seismic velocities, rather than vertical velocity gradients, occurs in the weathered layers. The major conclusion reached in this study is that while all seismic refraction operations should aim to provide as accurate depth estimates as is practical, those which emphasise the lateral resolution of individual layers generate more useful results for geotechnical and environmental applications. The advantages of the improved lateral resolution are obtained with 2D traverses in which the structural features can be recognised from the magnitudes of the variations in the seismic velocities. Furthermore, the spatial patterns obtained with 3D investigations facilitate the recognition of structural features such as faults which do not display any intrinsic variation or 'signature' in seismic velocities.

A seismic refraction study in estimation of depth to the bedrock demonstrates that 1) the average velocity in the medium is about 250 m/s in the surface layer (< 4 m), 2,500 m/s in the weathered formation, and greater than 3,000 m/s in the bedrock, 2) the depth to the deepest reflector assumed to be the bedrock is about 17 m; however, according to the cores collected in a borehole in study area, the bedrock (granite) occurred at depth 25 m, 3) according to the density and velocity logging, at depth 17 m, a measurable velocity and density increase are observed, and 4) the velocity of the weathered formation is relatively high and therefore, the acquisition offsets ($70{\sim}80m$) are turned out not to be long enough to record the refracted signal from the bedrock at depth 25 m as first arrivals.
