Alpha-Blast Signature Analysis and Vibration Simulation Software

White was the first company to offer a commercially available program for analyzing the probable effects of blast timing on amplitude and frequency. If you use or test electronic detonators, the Alpha-Blast program could be the most important software package you have. As detonation times become more accurate, it will be necessary to have sophisticated software that will help determine the best delay designs to achieve the desired results involving vibration control.

Alpha-Blast proved to be effective with pyrotechnic detonators for many years. With the advent of electronic detonators the program has involved into a necessary addition in order to help optimize the use of these products.

Seismograph Data Analysis V10 brought Alpha-Blast to a new level in signature analysis. Integrating the Alpha-Blast routines into Seismograph Data Analysis V10 allows the simulations to be processed with most of the analysis functions in the program. Imagine the power of being able to convert your velocity simulations into displacement and acceleration, look at particle motions, do response spectra analyses, compare and overlay two simulations and much more. No other blast vibration analysis software package can even begin to offer these features.

Alpha-Blast is an optional extra cost feature. An authorization code is required to unlock the routines. Contact White or an authorized reseller to receive a quote or purchase an authorization code.
