The article presents the most important results of seismic studies carried out in 2016-2020 at the Seismological Division GS RAS. Work at the Chirkey’s HPP, where natural oscillations of the dam and their seasonal changes were studied in detail and a method for monitoring the natural frequencies of the structure was developed. Research at the Sayano-Shushenskaya HPP, where the processes of interaction of operating hydroelectric units with surrounding structures were studied and it was found that under certain operating conditions of the equipment, there is a 10-20-fold increase in the natural oscillations of the dam, the source of which is natural oscillations (organ vibrations) in the penstocks. A method has been developed for assessing the response of structures to seismic impacts, based on the method of coherent reconstruction of standing wave fields and allowing to calculate the vibrations of an object arising from seismic impacts at its base. The possibilities of determining the natural vibrations of large objects based on low-frequency seismological records and their monitoring are demonstrated on the example of the results of the analysis of satellite images and seismological materials when determining the causes of the landslide on the Elbashinsky dump of the Kolyvan anthracite deposit in the Novosibirsk region. The possibility of using river seismic data to study the structure of the earth’s crust at all depth, including the Moho boundary, has been substantiated using the example of data obtained during the development of the CDP-2D profile in the lower reaches of the river Lena.

The paper investigates free vibrations of an absolutely rigid body, supported by a set of linearly elastic springs and performing a plane-parallel motion. The proposed system has two degrees of freedom, which makes it elementary to determine the frequencies and modes of its natural oscillations by using exact analytical expressions. However, these expressions are rather cumbersome, which makes it difficult to study the behavior of frequencies and modes when the characteristics of the model change. Therefore, the aim of the work was to find out the qualitative properties of the modes of free vibrations depending on the elastic, inertial and geometric characteristics of the system, as well as to study the effect of changing the position of elastic supports on its natural frequencies. The main qualitative characteristic of the mode of natural vibrations of the system in consideration is the position of its node – a point that remains stationary during natural vibrations. For the practically important case of a system with two supports, it has been established in the work that, in the general case, of two modes corresponding to two different natural frequencies, one has a node located inside the gap between the supports, and the other – outside this gap. Analytical conditions are found that must be satisfied by the inertial and geometric characteristics of the system, which make it possible to determine which of the two modes corresponds to the internal position of the node. It is noted that these conditions do not depend on the stiffness of the supports. Analytical results were also obtained, allowing to determine a more accurate qualitative localization of the node. To clarify the behavior of natural frequencies when the position of the supports changes, an explicit expression is obtained for the derivative of the square of the natural frequency of the system with respect to the coordinate defining the position of the support. This expression can be used to solve a variety of problems related to the control and optimization of the operating modes of engineering structures subjected to dynamic, in particular periodic, effects. The results of the work were obtained using qualitative methods of the mathematical theory of oscillations. In particular, the theorem on the effect of imposing constraints on the natural frequencies of an elastic system is systematically used.

The article analytically investigates the behavior of the frequencies and modes of natural vibrations of a rigid body, based on point elastic supports, when the position of the supports changes. It is assumed that the body is in plane motion and has two degrees of freedom. A linear description of body vibrations is accepted. The problems of determining such optimal positions of elastic supports at which the fundamental frequency of the structure reaches its maximum value are considered. Two groups of problems were studied. The first group concerns a body supported by only two supports. It was found that in the absence of restrictions on the position of the supports to maximize the fundamental natural frequency, these supports should be positioned so that the basic natural vibrations of the body are translational. Simple analytical conditions are formulated that must be satisfied by the corresponding positions of the supports. In real practical situations, these positions may be unreachable due to the presence of various kinds of restrictions due to design requirements. In this paper, optimization problems are considered taking into account a number of restrictions on the position of supports, typical for practice, expressed analytically by equations and inequalities. For each of the considered types of constraints, results are obtained that determine the optimal positions of the supports and the corresponding maximum values of the main natural frequencies. The approach applied allows us to consider other types of restrictions, which are not considered in the article. In the second group of problems for a body resting on an arbitrary number of supports, the optimal position of an additional elastic support introduced in order to maximize the fundamental frequency in fixed positions and the stiffness coefficients of the remaining supports was sought. It was found that this position depends on the value of the stiffness coefficient of the introduced support. Results are obtained that qualitatively and quantitatively characterize this position and the corresponding frequencies and modes of natural oscillations, including taking into account practically established limitations. The research method uses a qualitative approach, systematically based on the well-known Rayleigh theorem on the effect of imposing constraints on the free vibrations of an elastic structure.

The main purpose of the article is to consider the simulation of the natural oscillations of the air assault rappelling system “Kanat-1”. The object of consideration is a set of removable onboard equipment for rappelling air assault "Kanat-1" for landing from the cargo hatch of Mi-8 helicopters. Air assault rappelling system is an oscillating system that has certain natural frequencies of oscillation of the item, which depend on the number of paratroopers on the rope and their placement on it. The airframe of the Mi-8 helicopter has its own frequencies within the ranges of 3.1 - 3.3; 8 - 9; 15 - 17 Hz with which, and their divisibles the natural frequencies of the item should not coincide. In real operating conditions, determining the natural frequencies of the elements of the item under load is problematic. A system of dynamic models is built which allows determining the natural frequencies of air assault rappelling system oscillations at arbitrary placement of up to three paratroopers weighing up to 140 kg each, which can be hung simultaneously on one of the ropes in constant motion while moving the points of contact with the rope. In general, at the maximum load on the rope (three paratroopers), the mathematical model represents a system of three second-order differential equations. Eight variants for loading the rope with paratroopers are considered. The obtained oscillation frequencies of the air assault rappelling system do not coincide with the oscillation frequencies of the helicopter airframe which proves the effectivity of the air assault rappelling system. Recommendations for regulation of frequency characteristics of air assault rappelling system by replacement of a fastening element of a rope to a traverse are developed.

ABSTRACT. Seismic processing aims to provide an adequate image of the subsurface geology. During seismic processing, the filtering of signals considered noise is of utmost importance. Among these signals is the surface rolling noise, better known as ground-roll. Ground-roll occurs mainly in land seismic data, masking reflections, and this roll has the following main features: high amplitude, low frequency and low speed. The attenuation of this noise is generally performed through so-called conventional methods using 1-D or 2-D frequency filters in the fk domain. This study uses the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) method for ground-roll attenuation. The EMD method was implemented in the programming language FORTRAN 90 and applied in the time and frequency domains. The application of this method to the processing of land seismic line 204-RL-247 in Tacutu Basin resulted in stacked seismic sections that were of similar or sometimes better quality compared with those obtained using the fk and high-pass filtering methods.Keywords: seismic processing, empirical mode decomposition, seismic data filtering, ground-roll. RESUMO. O processamento sísmico tem como principal objetivo fornecer uma imagem adequada da geologia da subsuperfície. Nas etapas do processamento sísmico a filtragem de sinais considerados como ruídos é de fundamental importância. Dentre esses ruídos encontramos o ruído de rolamento superficial, mais conhecido como ground-roll . O ground-roll ocorre principalmente em dados sísmicos terrestres, mascarando as reflexões e possui como principais características: alta amplitude, baixa frequência e baixa velocidade. A atenuação desse ruído é geralmente realizada através de métodos de filtragem ditos convencionais, que utilizam filtros de frequência 1D ou filtro 2D no domínio fk. Este trabalho utiliza o método de Decomposição em Modos Empíricos (DME) para a atenuação do ground-roll. O método DME foi implementado em linguagem de programação FORTRAN 90, e foi aplicado no domínio do tempo e da frequência. Sua aplicação no processamento da linha sísmica terrestre 204-RL-247 da Bacia do Tacutu gerou como resultados, seções sísmicas empilhadas de qualidade semelhante e por vezes melhor, quando comparadas as obtidas com os métodos de filtragem fk e passa-alta.Palavras-chave: processamento sísmico, decomposição em modos empíricos, filtragem dados sísmicos, atenuação do ground-roll.

Proxy temperature data records featuring local time series, regional averages from areas all around the globe, as well as global averages, are analyzed using the Slow Feature Analysis (SFA) method. As explained in the paper, SFA is much more effective than the traditional Fourier analysis in identifying slow-varying (low-frequency) signals in data sets of a limited length. We find the existence of a striking gap from ~1000 to about ~20,000 years, which separates intrinsic climatic oscillations with periods ranging from ~ 60 years to ~1000 years, from the longer time-scale periodicities (20,000 yr +) involving external forcing associated with Milankovitch cycles. The absence of natural oscillations with periods within the gap is consistent with cumulative evidence based on past data analyses, as well as with earlier theoretical and modeling studies.

Abstract Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) is based on the least squares algorithm to minimize the difference between the synthetic and observed data, which is a promising technique for high-resolution velocity inversion. However, the FWI method is characterized by strong model dependence, because the ultra-low-frequency components in the field seismic data are usually not available. In this work, to reduce the model dependence of the FWI method, we introduce a Weighted Local Correlation-phase based FWI method (WLCFWI), which emphasizes the correlation phase between the synthetic and observed data in the time-frequency domain. The local correlation-phase misfit function combines the advantages of phase and normalized correlation function, and has an enormous potential for reducing the model dependence and improving FWI results. Besides, in the correlation-phase misfit function, the amplitude information is treated as a weighting factor, which emphasizes the phase similarity between synthetic and observed data. Numerical examples and the analysis of the misfit function show that the WLCFWI method has a strong ability to reduce model dependence, even if the seismic data are devoid of low-frequency components and contain strong Gaussian noise.

Time-dependent amplitude and phase information of stacked seismic data are processed independently using complex trace analysis in order to facilitate interpretation by improving resolution and decreasing random noise. We represent seismic traces using their envelopes and instantaneous phases obtained by the Hilbert transform. The proposed method reduces the amplitudes of the low-frequency components of the envelope, while preserving the phase information. Several tests are performed in order to investigate the behavior of the present method for resolution improvement and noise suppression. Applications on both 1D and 2D synthetic data show that the method is capable of reducing the amplitudes and temporal widths of the side lobes of the input wavelets, and hence, the spectral bandwidth of the input seismic data is enhanced, resulting in an improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio. The bright-spot anomalies observed on the stacked sections become clearer because the output seismic traces have a simplified appearance allowing an easier data interpretation. We recommend applying this simple signal processing for signal enhancement prior to interpretation, especially for single channel and low-fold seismic data.
