Seismic physical modeling and quality factor

地震物理模拟中Q值测量方法（英文）

Accurate Q parameter is hard to be obtained, but there is great difference between Q measurements from different measurement methods in seismic physical modelling. The influence factors, stability and accuracy of different methods are analyzed through standard sample experiment and the seismic physical modelling. Based on this, we proposed an improved method for improving accuracy of pulse transmission method, in which the samples with similar acoustic properties to the test sample are selected as the reference samples. We assess the stability and accuracy of the pulse transmission, pulse transmission insertion, and reflection wave methods for obtaining the quality factor Q using standard and reference samples and seismic physical modeling. The results suggest that the Q-values obtained by the pulse transmission method are strongly affected by diffraction and the error is 50% or greater, whereas the relative error of the improved pulse transmission method is about 10%. By using a theoretical diffraction correction method and the improved measurement method, the differences among the Q-measuring methods can be limited to within 10%.

准确的Q值参数是地震衰减相关研究的基础,而如何准确地获得Q值一直是地震衰减研究中的一个难点。本文针对地震物理模拟屮不同Q值测量方法求取Q值存在较大差异的问题,通过标准样品实验和地震物理模型实验,分析了不同Q值测量方法的影响因素、稳定性和测量精度;并针对脉冲透射法测量精度差的问题提出了改良方法,即选择与测试样品声学特性相近的样品作为参考样品;讨论了各种测量方法应用于Q值定量分析研究的可行性。实验研究发现,利用脉冲透射法求取样品Q值时会受到较强的衍射效应影响,衍射效应引起的误差最高可达50%以上,而改良后的脉冲透射法(有机玻璃为参考样品)测量结果的相对误差保持在10%左右。通过对数据进行理论方法衍射校正及实验方法的改良,能够保障不同测量方法测量结果之间的差异保持在10%以内,从而实现利用地震物理模拟进行Q值定量分析的相关研究。
