The house took its original name from a mound in the front yard. The mound was once thought to be an Indian burial ground for the Guale Indians, who were the earliest inhabitants of the island.[3] The mound was later found to be a shell midden left by the Indians.

In 1955, G. S. Trimble, vice president of the Glenn Martin Company, wrote to Bryce DeWitt 7 that:

 

During a recent conversation with Mr. George Rideout, president of Roger Babson’s Gravity Research Foundation, we were commiserating on the unfortunate state of the affairs that knowledgable folks do not wish to get “mixed up” in the field of gravity research. During the course of the conversation he reviewed with me your suggestion that perhaps his Gravity Research Foundation might be transformed from its present function into an active center of research concentrating on the field of gravity. He also told me that the foundation was not able to undertake such an expansion. (Letter from G. S. Trimble to Bryce DeWitt, dated, June 10, 1955)

 

It seems that DeWitt had suggested to Babson something along the lines of the Institutes for Advanced Study – a model he was very familiar with since both he and his soon to be wife Cécile Morette, had both spent time in several of them. This model fitted with the Glenn Martin Company’s plans. However, their goal was not pure research, but something grander, it seems – Trimble describes the proposed activity as an “industrial version of the Institute for Advanced Study”.8 The letter goes on:

 

It occurred to us some time ago that our industry was vitally concerned with gravity. As time goes on we become more and more concerned because we feel certain that sooner or later man will invade space and we see it as our job to do everything possible to speed this event. At least one category of the things one must study, when he desires to bring space flight to reality, is the laws of nature surrounding the force of gravity. (ibid.)

Still, the document contains quite a few curiosities. One chapter, titled “Electrostatic Effects,” describes the use of electric generators to charge giant metallic spheres buried in the ground six miles apart in symmetrical arrangements. Another sphere would be placed on top of the ground in the center of this arrangement of spheres, which would then be shot up to 620 miles into space when the other spheres are charged with an intense electrical current, according to the document. It is also claimed that vehicles flying in space with charged skins could be used to cause the spheres to change directions instantly without any loss of velocity or use of propellant.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_gravity_control_propulsion_researchThe Research Institute for Advanced Study (RIAS) was conceived by George S. Trimble, the vice president for aviation and advanced propulsion systems, Glenn L. Martin Company, and was placed under the direct supervision of Welcome Bender. The first person Bender hired was Louis Witten, an authority on gravitation physics.[32] Talbert's article had announced Trimble's completion of contractual agreements with Pascual Jordan and Burkhard Heim for RIAS. Subsequent hires yielded a half dozen gravity researchers known as the field theory group. Arthur C. Clarke and others stated that RIAS' assembly of talent was qualified for the task of discovering new principles that could be used to develop gravity control propulsion systems.[33]

 

The quest for propulsion through gravity control was vaguely implied in various publications. Works by Cook and Cleaver summarized statements in the RIAS brochures. Cook had equated the broad range of RIAS's mission statements with those of Skunk Works. In 1958, Mallan reported "the control of the force of gravity itself for propulsion" was one of the unorthodox goals initiated by Trimble for RIAS.[34]

 

RIAS was renamed the Research Institute for Advanced Studies during the sixties when the American-Marietta Company merged with Martin to become the Martin Marietta Company. The 1995 merger that yielded the Lockheed Martin Company modified its goals, but not its name.

The present study aimed to characterize the properties of a laser-generated seismic source for laboratory-scale geophysical experiments. This consisted of generating seismic waves in aluminum blocks and a carbonate core via pulsed-laser impacts and measuring the wave-field displacement via laser vibrometry. The experimental data were quantitatively compared to both theoretical predictions and 2D/3D numerical simulations using a finite element method. Two well-known and distinct physical mechanisms of seismic wave generation via pulsed-laser were identified and characterized accordingly: a thermoelastic regime for which the incident laser power was relatively weak, and an ablation regime at higher incident powers. The radiation patterns of the pulsed-laser seismic source in both regimes were experimentally measured and compared with that of a typical ultrasonic transducer. This study showed that this point-like, contact-free, reproducible, simple-to-use laser-generated seismic source was an attractive alternative to piezoelectric sources for laboratory seismic experiments, especially those concerning small scale, sub-meter measurements.

 

Introduction

Reproduction of seismic wave propagation at the laboratory scale (De Cacqueray et al. 2011; Barriere et al. 2012; Bordes et al. 2015; Valensi et al. 2015; Holzhauer et al. 2017; Pageot et al. 2017; Devi et al. 2018) is a promising approach that could lead to significant progress in imaging complex media and monitoring at the near-surface and crustal scales. The results obtained at the laboratory scale may be applied at the field scale using upscaling methods (Backus 1962; Capdeville et al. 2010; Dvorkin and Wollner 2017). In the present study, we investigated the applicability of a pulsed-laser seismic source (Martin et al. 1994; Rasolofosaon et al. 1994; Lebedev et al. 2011; Mikesell et al. 2012) in experiments as an alternative to the mechanical or piezoelectric sources frequently used at the laboratory scale.

 

A pulsed laser, or ablation laser, has been considered an interesting ultrasonic wave generator since the 1960s. The physical mechanisms involved in elastic wave generation via a pulsed-laser impact of high incident power density (Pd) were first described by White (1963). An initial thermoelastic regime exists at low Pd, followed by an ablation plasma regime when Pd increases; however, in most cases, the two wave-generation regimes coexist when waves are created by a pulsed-laser impact (Hutchins et al. 1981; Dewhurst et al. 1982; Aussel et al. 1988).
