An experimental method has been developed for generating oblique forces with known orientations and time histories. Recorded signals from several forces were analyzed by an iterative deconvolution method to determine their orientations and time histories. The recovered values agree closely with the exact ones for these controlled sources. These experiments are a valuable test of source characterization methods that may be applied to seismic data from earthquake sources or to signals recorded from the acoustic emission of cracks.
