Analyze the Difference Between Rotational and Translational Motions Produced by High-speed Train

Abstract

The development of fiber optic gyroscope technology makes it possible to directly measure the rotational ground-motion. The joint observation of the three-component rotational seismometer and the traditional three-component translational seismometer is a trend of future. In this paper, the translational and rotational signals generated during the high-speed trainway are studied, and the three-component translational and rotational seismometers are fixed together to realize the joint recording of the high-speed trainway signal. Comparing the translational and rotational three-component data, we find that only one component waveforms and the spectrum have certain consistency. However, the difference between them indicates that the rotation and translation signals generated by the shallow surface wave signal have different frequency bands.
