Absolute Gravity Measurement

The laser interferometer is used to track the falling object in a freefall absolute gravimeter, which could be disturbed by the vibration from the ground. Thus, the vibration compensation method is often used to reduce the influence of the vibration. Typically, a sensor (broadband seismometer) is used to record the vibration. But the measured ‘vibration’ Nm(t) does not equal the motion of the reference corner cube N(t). Because there exists a transfer function G(s) making Nm(s) = G(s)N(s). Traditionally, G(s) is assumed to be equal to the transfer function of the sensor, which can be achieved with the help of other equipment. But the assumption is not reasonable and the process of calculating the transfer function is complicated. A novel vibration compensation method without any other equipment is proposed in this paper. In this method, G(s) is simplified to estimate N(t) using N′(t) = ANm(t − τ), which is used for compensation. The gain A and delay τ can be obtained by analysis of the data acquired by the absolute gravimeter. The experiments are conducted with the homemade absolute gravimeter T-1 and repeated for 75 times. The standard deviation of the uncompensated results is 3276 μGal (1 μGal = 1 × 10−8 m/s2), while that of the compensated results is 167 μGal. The compensation method not only achieves a reduction by nearly a factor of 20, but also can be simply used without any other equipment. The results indicate that the method basically meets the demands of absolute gravimeters. In the future, it may be applied to dynamic absolute gravity measurement and take the place of vibration isolators.

Abstract The ballistic free-fall absolute gravimeters are most commonly-used instruments for high-precision absolute gravity measurements in many fields, such as scientific research, resource survey, geophysics and so on. The instrumental recoil vibrations generated by the release of the test mass can cause troublesome systematic bias, because these vibrations are highly reproducible from drop to drop with coherent phase. A compound counterbalanced design of chamber using both belt-driven mechanism and cam-driven structure is proposed in this paper. This structure is designed to achieve excellent recoil compensation as well as long freefall length for high precision measurements. Simulation results show that the recoil vibration amplitude of the compound recoil-compensated structure during the drop is about 1/4 of that with only belt-driven counterbalanced structure. This confirms the feasibility and superiority of the new design. And it is believed that the absolute gravimeter based on this newly proposed chamber design is expected to obtain more precise gravity measurement results in the future.
