修正辛格式有限元法的地震波场模拟

三角网格有限元法具有网格剖分的灵活性,能有效模拟地震波在复杂介质中的传播.但传统有限元法用于地震波场模拟时计算效率较低,消耗较大计算资源.本文采用改进的核矩阵存储(IKMS)策略以提高有限元法的计算效率,该方法不用组合总体刚度矩阵,且相比于常规有限元法节省成倍的内存.对于时间离散,将有限元离散后的地震波运动方程变换至Hamilton体系,在显式二阶辛Runge-Kutta-Nystr9m(RKN)格式的基础之上加入额外空间离散算子构造修正辛差分格式,通过Taylor展开式得到具有四阶时间精度时间格式,且辛系数全为正数.本文从理论上分析了时空改进方法相比传统辛-有限元方法在频散压制、稳定性提升等方面的优势.数值算例进一步证实本方法具有内存消耗少、稳定性强和数值频散弱等优点.     

无网格局部Petrov-Galerkin法大地电磁场二维正演模拟

有限差分法和有限单元法在大地电磁场数值模拟中已经得到了广泛的应用,但其数值结果的精度在很大程度上依赖于网格的离散程度.当模拟起伏地形、弯曲界面等复杂地电模型大地电磁场响应时,常常需要花费大量的时间以便得到较合理的离散网格.无网格局部Petrov-Galerkin法(MLPG)不同于有限差分法和有限元法,其形函数和权函数脱离了网格的束缚.本文详细推导了二维大地电磁场边值问题的弱式形式,并将其离散为局部积分域内的表达形式.通过模拟二维海洋地电模型大地电磁场响应,并与结构网格有限元结果进行对比,验证了本文算法和程序的正确性及精度.设计了一个含有弯曲界面的二维地电模型,讨论了不同离散网格对MLPG无网格法模拟结果的影响,并与结构有限元法结果进行了比较,结果表明MLPG无网格法模拟结果受离散网格影响较小.最后利用MLPG无网格法计算了两个海洋起伏地形模型的大地电磁响应,讨论了海底起伏地形对大地电磁响应的影响.     

Finite-element simulations of long-period ground motions: Japanese subduction-zone earthquakes and the 1906 San Francisco earthquake

Large earthquakes at shallow depths commonly excite long-period ground motions in distant sedimentary basins, thereby inflicting damage upon large-scale structures. For example, the 2003 Tokachi-oki earthquake, Japan, damaged oil tanks in the Yufutsu Basin, located 250 km from the epicenter. Similar long-range effects were also observed during the 2004 earthquake off Kii Peninsula, Japan. In this study, we present the results of simulations of these earthquakes undertaken using the finite element method (FEM) with a voxel mesh. In addition, to examine whether the 1906 San Francisco earthquake excited long-period ground motions in the Los Angeles-area basins, we performed long-period ground motion simulations of most of the California region. The FEM simulations confirmed the importance of path effects for the development of long-period ground motions.

层状介质对破裂过程的影响

震源动力学中破裂产生的地震动在层状介质中的传播模拟,是地震学以及地震工程学研究的前沿课题之一。本文通过建立精确的三维模型,选取具备灵活网格、高精度高效率计算性能的谱元法,利用有效抑制伪震荡的时间域离散方法——加权速度Newmark方法以及多次透射人工边界条件,进行了SCEC/USGS基准项目中TPV5模型的地震破裂过程模拟,得到基于层状介质模型和均匀介质模型（后者采用相同破裂模型）的埋深2km的震源参数结果。将二者进行对比,并具体分析破裂面位错、地震矩、破裂传播时间、上升时间和地表位移,发现层状介质对破裂过程的传播影响较为明显:① 层状介质的存在整体增加了破裂面上的位错,在层状介质模型下计算得到的地震矩约是均匀介质模型结果的1.3倍,因此认为层状介质增强了地震破裂过程中的能量释放;② 层状介质的存在使得破裂传播至地表的速度减慢,并缩短了地表各点的上升时间,增强了地表的地震动响应;③ 层状介质对于地表位移有着明显的增加作用,同时协同破裂面上的初始应力异常区域对位移峰值中心的改变有显著影响。④ 介质分异面附近地震动强烈。对结果进行整理后发现,在具有地下层状介质的地区要充分考虑层状介质产生的场地效应,否则可能会低估该地区的地震危险性。

Numerical simulation on seismic liquefaction by adaptive mesh refinement due to two recovered fields in error estimation

The finite element method is widely employed in numerical analysis of seismic liquefaction at present. However, due to the mesh distortion in strong dynamic action, the results are generally inaccurate and can even stop the calculation. Therefore, an adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) scheme is introduced to improve the numerical results based on a finite element and finite difference coupled dynamic method (FEM–FDM). The changing law about the errors due to the linear and the bilinear recovered fields of coarse meshes, AMR meshes and fine meshes is discussed. The seismic response on soil is compared between different AMR meshes. The AMR strategy can better simulate seismic liquefaction and offer more accurate results than the normal finite element simulation.     

二维复杂工程场址设计地震动的修正分析方法

地震安全性评价中工程场地设计地震动通常采用一维等效线性化水平成层的分析模型，但对一些较复杂的场地条件，如蓄能电站所处场地，仅考虑一维场地是不够的，而需考虑二维场地的影响。常规采用的二维有限元很难考虑诸多因素，为工程设计带来了很大的困难。提出了可考虑二维复杂工程场地影响的设计地震动的修正分析方法和简化方法，该方法还可考虑非线性对场地的影响及吸能边界等因素，而且计算简单，并易于同常用的一维等效线性化方法结合。实例分析结果合理，对工程场地地震动的确定具有重要意义。     

On the Effects of Non-planar Geometry for Blind Thrust Faults on Strong Ground Motion

— We quantify the effects of complex fault geometry on low-frequency (<1 Hz) strong ground motion using numerical modeling of dynamic rupture. Our tests include the computation of synthetic seismograms for several simple rupture scenarios with planar and curved fault approximations of the 1994 Northridge earthquake. We use the boundary integral equation method (BIEM) to compute the dynamic rupture process, which includes the normal stress effects along the curved fault geometries. The wave propagation and computation of synthetic seismograms are modeled using a fourth-order finite-difference method (FDM). The near-field ground motion is significantly affected by the acceleration, deceleration and arrest of rupture due to the curvature of the faults, as well as the variation in directivity of the rupture. For example, a 6-km-long hanging-wall or footwall splay with a maximum offset of 1 km can change 1-Hz peak velocities by up to a factor of 2-3 near the fault. Our tests suggest that the differences in waveform are larger on the hanging wall compared to those on the footwall, although the differences in amplitude are larger in the forward rupture direction (footwall). The results imply that kinematic ground motion estimates may be biased by the omission of dynamic rupture effects and even relatively gentle variation in fault geometry, and even for long-period waves.

利用伪谱和有限差分混合方法对兰州盆地进行二维强地面运动模拟.假设3个不同的震源深度5、10、20 km的同一地震下,以一个5层的二维剖面作为模型,以此来研究地震波传播过程并分析复杂的二维非均质路径效应,以及局部地下速度构造对强地面运动振幅加乘的影响,从而了解路径效应对强地面运动最大峰值位移的影响程度.研究结果显示:伪谱和有限差分混合方法模拟地震波场结合了有限差分法和伪谱法的优点,弥补了二者的不足,能较好地处理介质不连续面的计算,同时保证了和伪谱法相当的计算精度.通过地震波场模拟可知沉积盆地的强地面运动较基岩相比具有放大效应,震源深度的不同对兰州盆地垂直分量地面最大峰值位移影响较大,在震源深度为5 km时最小,为0.06 cm;震源深度10 km时在水平剖面30～55 km范围内峰值位移最大,达到0.14 cm;但对水平分量的峰值位移影响较小.     

三角网格有限元法波动模拟的数值频散及稳定性研究

三角网格有限元法能够准确模拟复杂构造和复杂介质条件下的地震波场,数值频散和稳定性条件是地震波数值模拟中参数选择的主要依据.基于均匀的线性三角网格单元,根据结构刚度矩阵的组装原理以及平面波理论,推导了集中质量矩阵下两种网格结构的声波频散函数以及稳定性条件,并对数值频散特性以及稳定性进行了详细研究:三角网格单元中波动的数值频散除了受到空间采样间隔、单元网格纵横比和波传播方向等常规因素的影响外,还受到网格布局的影响,过锐或过钝的三角单元会对波动数值频散产生不良的影响,不同类型的单元网格、单元纵横比对应着不同的稳定性条件,正三角单元中的波动具有较好的数值频散特性,其数值各向异性(频散随波传播方向的变化)效应最弱,稳定性条件也较为宽松.最后通过数值模拟直观地验证了以上分析结果,为有限元正演三角网格的剖分和参数的设置提供一定的理论依据.     

Parallel PSM/FDM Hybrid Simulation of Ground Motions from the 1999 Chi-Chi,Taiwan, Earthquake

-- A new technique for the parallel computing of 3-D seismic wave propagation simulation is developed by hybridizing the Fourier pseudospectral method (PSM) and the finite-difference method (FDM). This PSM/FDM hybrid offers a good speed-up rate using a large number of processors. To show the feasibility of the hybrid, a numerical 3-D simulation of strong ground motion was conducted for the 1999 Chi-Chi, Taiwan earthquake (M_w 7.6). Comparisons between the simulation results and observed waveforms from a dense strong ground motion network in Taiwan clearly demonstrate that the variation of the subsurface structure and the complex fault slip distribution greatly affect the damage during the Chi-Chi earthquake. The directivity effect of the fault rupture produced large S-wave pulses along the direction of the rupture propagation. Slips in the shallow part of the fault generate significant surface waves in Coastal Plain along the western coast. A large velocity gradient in the upper crust can propagate seismic waves to longer distances with minimum attenuation. The S waves and surface waves were finally amplified further by the site effect of low-velocity sediments in basins, and caused the significant disasters.

Frequency‐dependent principal component analysis of multicomponent earthquake ground motions

Stochastic ground motion simulation techniques are becoming increasingly popular because of enhanced computation power enabling direct simulation of complex response quantities. Priestley process assumption is the most general approach for stochastic modeling of earthquake ground motion. However, a framework for multicomponent ground motion simulation using the general Priestley process assumption is not available. Multicomponent motions are useful especially when the correlation structure between them significantly influences the response. The present study proposes a framework for frequency‐dependent principal component analysis (PCA), which facilitates Priestley process–based simulation of multicomponent ground motions. The study focuses only on the frequency‐dependent PCA part, and the results show high dependency of the principal components/directions on the frequency bands of the signals. The present work also advocates that the frequency‐dependent PCA should be preferred to the conventional PCA as the former can address the issues related to the frequency‐independent uniform modulation associated with the latter.     

基于Lamb问题的谱元法和有限元法模拟精度比较

在地震动数值模拟方法中,谱元法和有限元法是应用较广泛的两种方法。基于经典的Lamb问题模型,首先推导给出地表竖向位移的解析解答。然后分别利用常用的四阶谱元法和线性有限元法,模拟了地表脉冲力源作用下模型的位移响应。考虑有意义的最短波长内的采样点个数及单元高宽比的变化,对比了两种方法的模拟精度;结果表明:对于谱元法,观测点与波源之间需至少包含两个网格,在此条件下,最短波长内包含一个网格（最短波长内5个采样点）时,数值解与解析解的误差小于1%,已达很高的精度;对于有限元法,最短波长内需包含10个网格时才能达到这一精度。此外,在满足网格尺寸要求的前提下,单元水平向与垂直向尺寸的比值在1∶1到5∶1的范围内时,谱元法和有限元法的模拟精度均变化不大。因此,单位波长内采样点个数相同时,谱元法的模拟精度比有限元法高的多,同时,在一定范围内两种方法的模拟结果对于宽高比的变化不敏感。     

Earthquake analysis of axisymmetric towers partially submerged in water

A method for analysis of response of axisymmetric towers partly submerged in water to earthquake ground motion is presented. The tower is idealized as a finite element system. The hydrodynamic terms are determined by solving the Laplace equation, governing the dynamics of incompressible fluids, subject to appropriate boundary conditions. For cylindrical towers, these solutions are obtained as explicit mathematical solutions of the boundary value problems; whereas they are obtained by the finite element method in case of towers with non-cylindrical outside surface. The response to earthquake ground motion is determined by step-by-step integration of the equations of motion. Analyses of two actual intake towers are presented to illustrate results obtained by this method. The small computation times required for these analyses demonstrate that the method is very efficient. The effectiveness of this formulation lies in avoiding the analysis of a large system by using a substructure approach and in exploiting the important feature that structural response to earthquake ground motion is essentially contained in the first few modes of vibration of the tower with no surrounding water.     

震源参数对强地面震动模拟结果的影响

RESPONSE OF EARTH DAMS TO P AND SV WAVES USING COUPLED FE-BE FORMULATION

A study of the effects of dam–foundation interaction on the response of earth dams to obliquely incident P and SV waves is presented. Emphasis is placed on the effects of the foundation flexibility and the spatial variability of the ground motion. The study is based on a rigorous hybrid numerical formulation that combines the efficiency and versatility of the Finite Element Method (FEM) and the ability of Boundary Element Method (BEM) to account for the radiation conditions at the far field. The developed hybrid method is very powerful and can be used efficiently to obtain accurate solutions of problems of complex geometry, material heterogeneity and, for time-domain analyses, material nonlinearity. The 2-D frequency-domain formulation is used here to investigate the response of infinitely long earth dams to obliquely incident P and SV waves. By accounting rigorously for the energy radiated back into the half-space, the study demonstrates the dramatic effect of the flexibility of the foundation rock in reducing the overall response of the dam. The effects of the spatial variability of the ground motion for P and SV waves travelling across the width of the dam are also important, but somewhat less pronounced than those of the foundation flexibility.
