On p. 112, the caption of Figure 4 should read “The (a) magnitude and (b) phase in radians of the x component of the horizontal electric field obtained for a square thin sheet of integrated conductivity 1 S, 8 skin depths on a side, buried at a depth of 0.1 skin depth when the incident electric field is x polarized. Each segment is 1 skin depth on a side.” On p. 114, the last sentence of the first paragraph in the Discussion should read “It is easy to see why the surface thin sheet is a popular modeling technique for magnetotelluric applications.”

The Earth

The interpretation of magnetotelluric data is hampered by the effect of three‐dimensional (3-D) conductivity variations within the earth. In particular, the effects of deep structures are masked by heterogeneities near the surface. In order to understand the effects of 3-D anomalies on magnetotelluric investigations, the electromagnetic response of 3-D models of the earth must be investigated. One technique used to model a 3-D earth is the thin‐sheet approximation. This technique confines all lateral changes in conductivity to a horizontal layer in a laterally homogeneous earth; however, the thin‐sheet technique can be applied only to anomalies that are electrically thin at the frequency of investigation. The thin‐sheet technique can be extended to include a greater variety of models by stacking heterogeneous thin layers. As a first step, the thin‐sheet technique is extended to model a buried, heterogeneous thin layer. Extension of the method to account for buried thin sheets is theoretically and computationally more involved than for a surface thin sheet, but the buried thin sheet still has computational advantages over other 3-D models.

Simple Models

The horizontal and vertical components of the on-time electromagnetic (EM) response can be used to estimate the parameters of simple models like thin sheets, half-spaces, thin sheets over a lower half-space and a two-layer model. The formulae used in these methods are valid in areas where the on-time response is essentially proportional to the conductivity or conductance, the so called "resistive limit". The half-space and thin-sheet over a lower half-space models can be combined to give an estimate of the conductivity for a lower half-space below a thick sheet that might be reasonable for the whole of the survey area. With this estimation an equation solver can be used to estimate the thickness and conductivity of the overlying thick sheet over the whole survey area. This latter approach seemed most appropriate for the Russell South area in the Athabasca Basin, Canada, where GEOTEM data has been collected. The output of the algorithm was generally stable. Although it did not always reliably reproduce the overburden thicknesses as measured in a set of reference drill holes, it did give an estimate that was reasonable in the relatively conductive areas.

Compressive Loads

The cyclic and compressive mechanical behavior of ultra-thin sheet metals was experimentally investigated. A novel transparent wedge device was designed and fabricated to prevent the buckling of thin sheets under compressive loads, while also allowing full field strain measurements of the specimen using digital imaging methods. Thin brass and stainless steel sheet metal specimens were tested using the micro-wedge device. Experimental results show that the device can be used to delay the onset of early buckling modes of a thin sheet under compression, which is critical in examining the compressive and cyclic mechanical behavior of sheet metals.
