In order to monitor the seafloor stability during methane hydrate productions, a monitoring system continuously measuring seafloor displacement is required. We have been developing a system that mainly consists of a 3-component servoaccelerometer and gimbaled mechanism in a pressure chamber. The observed acceleration waveform data are used to calculate displacements by double integrals with noise reduction. An initial model of the system was created and tested in laboratory and at an onshore landslide site. As the results of those tests, we confirmed that the monitoring by servo-accelerometer is practical.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
