The description of Vibration Meter
Introduction to Vibration Meter App
The Vibration Meter, also known as a seismograph or seismometer, is a powerful application designed to measure the strength of vibrations, including quakes and earthquakes, as well as the vibrations of the human body and other surrounding objects.
Key Features
- Detection and Recording: Our app detects and records seismic waves generated by various sources such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and avalanches.
- Accelerometer Utilization: It utilizes the accelerometer in your mobile phone for accurate vibration detection and measurement analysis.
Understanding Ground Motion
The app presents a graphical representation of ground motion at a measuring point. This ground movement is displayed as a function of time across three Cartesian axes:
- Z-axis: Perpendicular to the Earth's surface.
- X and Y axes: Parallel to the Earth's surface.
Seismic Scales Explained
There are several scales used to measure seismic activity:
- Mercalli Intensity Scale: Measures the intensity and effects of an earthquake, distinct from the moment magnitude.
- Richter Scale: Assigns a magnitude number to quantify the energy released by an earthquake.
- Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA): Represents the maximum ground acceleration during earthquake shaking.
Instrumental Intensity Scale
In our app, we employ the Instrumental Intensity Scale, developed by the United States Geological Survey. This scale maps peak ground acceleration and peak ground velocity, similar to the felt Mercalli Scale. These values are crucial for creating shake maps used by seismologists worldwide.
Mercalli Intensity Scale Levels
Level | Description |
---|---|
I | Instrumental - Not felt. Recorded by seismographs. |
II | Weak - Felt only on top floors of high buildings. |
III | Slight - Felt indoors, like a passing light truck. |
IV | Moderate - Windows, doors rattle. Like passing train. |
V | Rather Strong - Felt by all. Small objects upset. |
VI | Strong - Books off shelves. Trees shake. Damage. |
VII | Very Strong - Difficult to stand. Buildings damaged. |
VIII | Destructive - Significant damage. Trees broken. |
IX | Violent - General panic. Serious damage. Cracks. |
X | Intense - Most buildings destroyed. Rails bent. |
XI | Extreme - Rails bent greatly. Pipelines destroyed. |
XII | Catastrophic - Near total damage. |
