Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Geology Sismografía
En un texto sobre métodos sismográficos

"Obtener las Ondas de Cizallamiento (S) mediante el estudio de las Ondas Superficiales obtenidas de los ruidos que provocan los microtemblores (Microtremor, Pasive Source1D MAM) y mediante la excitación de las Ondas Superficiales con golpes (Active Source 2D, MASW)."

ya encontré que se puede decir "excitement of surface waves with...", es la parte de los golpes donde no estoy seguro qué termino elegir.

Gracias de antemano

with impacts

This word is used in some relevant sources. It seems they use a hammer:

"MASW data are gathered in much the same way as high resolution reflection data. Seismic energy generated by vertical impacts on the ground surface are detected by an array of closely spaced geophones."

"In the MSOR data acquisition method a multichannel record is obtained with only one receiver. It is fixed at a surface point and receives signals from several hammer impacts at incremental offsets (Ryden et al., 2001).
http://www.masw.com/files/RYD-03-03.pdf

"A fairly heavy sledge hammer (e.g., 20 lb) will be a good choice, although other more-sophisticated sources that can deliver more impact power into ground (e.g., a weight drop) can be an advantage over a sledge hammer because of its potential to generate lower (longer) frequencies (wavelengths) of surface waves."

Método de Refracción Sísmica.

La sísmica de refracción es uno de los métodos no destructivos más utilizados para la caracterización geotécnica de los suelos y rocas. Su principio se basa en la densidad y las propiedades elásticas que poseen los materiales subyacentes. La esencia del método sísmico de refracción es determinar la geometría de los diferentes horizontes sísmicos, pudiéndose calcular también los módulos y coeficientes elásticos en el semiespacio medido. **** La excitación de las ondas sísmicas se puede realizar mediante golpes a percusión o ****usando otros tipos de fuentes de energía como son cargas explosivas.

Seismic cues are generated through percussion on the earth substrate or acoustical waves that couple with the earth, called rayleigh waves.
