A finite‐impulse‐response filter was implemented on a computer with massively parallel processors to reduce a magnetic anomaly map to the magnetic pole, allowing each grid node to have a different inclination and declination (differential reduction to the pole, DRTP). The dramatic speed improvement of such an implementation for the filter design and application via space‐domain convolution makes DRTP a practical tool for hydrocarbon and mineral exploration. Application of this tool to magnetic anomalies in east China reveals that the northward shift in position of the anomaly maximum generated by DRTP is 6 km for anomalies with dominant wavelengths of approximately 25 km in the northernmost part of the study area. The shift increases as the anomaly wavelength increases. Shifts for all anomaly wavelengths are even larger in the southern part of the study area, where the magnetic inclination is lower. The shift in position of the anomaly maximum for anomalies of wavelengths 25 km in the northernmost area produced by DRTP is 2 km less than that produced by a conventional reduction to the pole using the inclination and declination at the central location of the study area. Once again, such differences in shifts are larger for anomalies of longer wavelengths. The farther away from the central location, the greater is the absolute value of the difference.

Following a detailed investigation of the Fourier-domain differential reduction-to-the-pole (DRTP) algorithm I compared the results to those obtained using a space-domain reduction-to-the-pole algorithm. I demonstrate that DRTP reduces magnetic anomalies to the pole more effectively than the space-domain algorithm. The DRTP operator has singularities at the geomagnetic equator and enhances north-south trending features at low latitudes. The operator is modified by slightly increasing the inclination of the core field at low latitudes to suppress the singularity. This space-domain modification only affects the anomalies very close to the equator. The modified DRTP operator successfully reduces the magnetic anomalies at low latitudes to the pole. The effects of random noise added to the original magnetic anomalies are investigated in some detail, and an appropriate directional low-pass filter is used to remove the resulting enhanced noise in the reduced-to-the-pole magnetic anomalies. Very simple bodies (uniformly magnetized, cubic, or rectangular) are considered to clearly illustrate the effects of the DRTP, its modified version, and the directional low-pass filter.

Cidaun merupakan salah satu daerah pesisir pantai selatan yang terletak pada Kabupaten Cinajur Provinsi Jawa Barat. Salah satu kelebihan dari daerah pesisir pantai selatan Pulau Jawa adalah terdapat banyaknya mineral logam penghasil besi yang tersebar luas di sepanjang pesisir pantai. Oleh karena itu dilakukanlah eksplorasi untuk memetakan sebaran mineral logam yang ada di daerah Cidaun. Dalam melakukan eksplorasi mineral logam dibutuhkan suatu metode yang paling efektif yaitu eksplorasi geofisika dengan menggunakan metode geomagnet. Proses pengolahan data pada metode geomagnet dilakukan dengan menghitung nilai anomali magnetik dari medan magnetik total yang telah dilakukan koreksi terhadap koreksi harian dan koreksi IGRF. Kemudian dengan metode inversi data yang telah didapat dijadikan sebuah model. Selain itu dilakukan juga interpretasi kualitatif dan interpretasi kuantitatif. Interperetasi kualitatif dilakukan pada data yang telah dimodelkan menggunakan software surfer 11, apabila data tersebut terdapat anomali magnetik bernilai sangat tinggi yang berdekatan dengan nilai anomali magnetik bernilai rendah atau perubahan nilai anomali terjadi secara signifikan kemudian dilakukan proses interpretasi secara kuantitatif. Interpretasi kuantitatif pada penelitian ini dengan dilakukan deliniasi berupa proses sayatan pada perbedaan nilai anomali magnetik yang terjadi perubahan secara signifikan. Tahap selanjutnya data dari proses sayatan tersebut kemudian dilakukanlah pemodelan menggunakan software mag2dc untuk mengetahui sebaran mineral logam dapa daerah tersebut. Berdasarkan data yang telah diolah pada daerah Kertajadi, Cidaun, Kabupaten Cianjur, Jawa Barat dengan koordinat 698283 easting - 757162 easting dan 9180169 northing - 9171050 northing memiliki rentang nilai anomali magnetik -5 nT – 145 nT. Sedangkan nilai anomali magnetik pada daerah yang telah dilakukan proses sayatan memiliki rentang nilai 84.18 nT - 119.69 nT dengan nilai susptibilitas -0.041000 – 0.050001. Dari rentang nilai suseptibilitas tersebut diduga sebaran mineral yang yang memiliki nilai suseptibilitas positif merupakan bijih besi sedangkan yang bernilai negatif merupakan lempung dan endapan pasir. Dari hasil dari penelitian ini diharapkan data tersebut dapat dijadikan informasi dan referensi bagi masyarakat, peneliti lain dan pengusaha tambang dalam eksplorasi mineral logam.Cidaun is one of the coastal areas of the southern coast located in the district of West Java province Cinajur. One of the advantages of the southern coastal areas of Java is that there are many ferrous metal mineral producer widespread along the coast. Therefore, the exploration was undertaken to map the distribution of metallic minerals in the area Cidaun. In conducting metal mineral exploration required a most effective method is a geophysical exploration using geomagnetic methods. Data processing on geomagnetic method is done by calculating the value of the magnetic anomalies of the total magnetic field has a daily correction of correction and correction IGRF. Then, with the inversion method of data has been obtained serve as a model. The researcher also interpretation of qualitative and quantitative interpretation. Qualitative Interperetasi performed on the data that has been modeled using software surfer 11, when the inputs are very high-value magnetic anomalies adjacent to the value of the magnetic anomalies of low value or change in value of the anomaly occurred significantly later performed quantitative interpretation process. Quantitative interpretation in this study conducted a process of delineation of the incision on the difference in magnetic anomaly change significantly. The next stage of the data are then perform the incision process modeling using software mag2dc to determine the distribution of metallic minerals onshore areas. Based on the data that has been processed in the region Kertajadi, Cidaun, Cianjur, West Java coordinate 698283 easting - 757162 easting and 9180169 northing - 917105 northing and has a value range of magnetic anomaly -5 nT - 145 nT. While the value of magnetic anomalies in the area that has been carried out the process of incisions have a range of values 84.18 nT - 119.69 nT with susptibilitas value -0.041000 - 0.050001. Of the value range susceptibility is suspected distribution of minerals that have a positive susceptibility value is the iron ore which is negative while the clay and sand deposits. From the results of this study are expected data can be made of information and reference for the community, other researchers and mining company in mineral exploration.

I present a differential reduction‐to‐the‐pole technique that reduces regional scale magnetic anomalies to the geomagnetic pole, while taking into account the variations in the direction of the geomagnetic field and that of the magnetization of the crust over the region. The technique is developed in the spectral frequency domain as an inverse problem solved iteratively using a perturbation method. I regard the variations in the directions as finite perturbations about the mean values of the directions over the region and evaluate the nonlinear coupling terms due to these perturbations in the space domain at each iteration before transforming them into the spectral frequency domain. The technique is applied to the magnetic anomalies of three semiinfinite prisms, which are inductively magnetized and located at high, mid, and low latitudes in a region where the inclination of the ambient field changes from 10 to 90 degrees and its declination changes from −30 to +30 degrees. The differential reduction to the pole shifts the positive anomaly of the low‐latitude prism toward the north more than it shifts that of the mid‐latitude prism, which in turn is shifted northward more than that of the high‐latitude prism. The reduction also suppresses the negative lobes to the north of the mid and low‐latitude prisms and moves the positive anomalies to points directly over the prisms. I also apply the technique to the marine magnetic anomalies off the east coast of Canada. The positive magnetic anomalies in the southern part of the area are displaced northward by about 30 km, whereas those in the northern part are not moved significantly.

AbstractUsing large-scale molecular dynamics simulation on a massively parallel computer, we have studied the initiation of cracking in a Monel-like alloy of Cu-Ni. In a low temperature 2D sample, fracture from a notch starts at a little beyond 2.5% critical strain when the propagation direction is perpendicular to a cleavage plane. We discuss a method of characterizing crack tip position using a measure of area around the crack tip.
