Abstract:
Since its invention in 1955, the Galperin symmetric triaxial seismometer has been widely used for seismic detection on Earth, and most recently on the planet Mars. In this paper, we present detailed physics of such seismometers, which has not yet been published in open literature. We extended Galperin's original work, which is based on idealized geometry and assumptions, to include more practical cases, including (1) non-idealized tilt angles of its component seismometers; (2) component seismometers that are not exactly oriented 120° apart; (3) distributed mass on the boom; and (4) the case of operations at lower frequencies.
