Desenvolvimento de uma plataforma didática para experimento sísmico em caixa de areia

Abstract

This work will present the design, development, and implementation of a didactic platform for seismic experiments in a sandbox, aimed at simulating seismic wave propagation and investigating geological features on a laboratory scale. To achieve this, 40 kHz piezoelectric transducers and an automated movement system will be implemented, utilizing an Arduino as the controller, three power drivers, and three stepper motors. The experiment will aim to capture seismic data that will subsequently be transformed into two-dimensional and three-dimensional images of the simulated structures. The platform will be designed to accurately reproduce geological conditions in a controlled manner, enabling the testing of seismic processing algorithms and the analysis of seismic responses in laboratory environments. The platform will provide a user-friendly and accessible system for studying complex geodynamic processes, contributing to the advancement of understanding crustal deformation and seismic wave propagation in natural environments.
