本文讨论了用来研究弹性波速度和衰减变化以表明煤标本中加载和结构完整性的改变的过程.在单轴和三轴试验中,通过测量纵波(P)和横波(S)的速度和衰减的变化,有效地判断在煤样品中加载和结构破坏的变化情况.用速度和衰减值可近一步计算P波与S波的速度比和衰减比、动弹性参数、归一化速度以及衰减系数等,以揭示可能存在于加载和破坏过程中的某些趋势. 在单轴和三轴试验中用P波和S波的衰减和速度变化共同确定载荷变化和破坏的稳定和不稳定阶段.对轴向载荷变化和结构破坏前标本内部微裂纹的发展而言,S波的衰减和速度比P波的反应更灵敏.衰减比和速度比曲线及动弹参数曲线对载荷变化反应不太灵敏,但对煤样品内部结构的破坏反应灵敏。衰减系数和归一化速度曲线与原始的速度和衰减曲线有相同的趋势.     

南海东北部及其邻近地区的Pn波速度结构与各向异性

利用中国地震台网和ISC台站1980～2004年的地震数据，反演了南海东北部及其邻近地区的Pn波速度结构和各向异性.上地幔顶部的速度变化揭示出区域地质构造的深部特征：华南地区速度较高并且变化平缓，具有构造稳定地区的岩石层地幔特征；华南沿海尤其是滨海断裂带附近出现低速异常，表明该断裂可能穿过壳幔边界深达上地幔顶部.南海北部至台湾海峡较高的速度与华南地区类似，反映出大陆边缘和陆架地区的岩石层地幔性质；西沙海槽附近较高的速度不仅反映了华南大陆向南的延伸，而且与海槽裂谷拉张引起的地幔上拱有关，整个南海北部没有发现大规模地幔热流的活动痕迹.相比之下，南海东部次海盆的上地幔顶部存在明显的低速异常，对应于海底扩张中心的地幔上涌区，表明岩石层地幔强烈减薄甚至缺失；台湾东部－吕宋－菲律宾北部的低速异常与地震、火山活动以及岩浆作用紧密相关，揭示了西太平洋岛弧俯冲带的活动特征；南海东北部的洋－陆边界清晰，南海东部和菲律宾海西部较高的速度代表了海洋岩石层地幔的性质.Pn波各向异性反映出区域性构造应力状态及岩石层地幔的变形痕迹：华南地区的各向异性较小，说明这一构造稳定地区的岩石层地幔变形程度较弱；南海北部的快波方向与地壳浅表层构造的伸展方向一致，主要反映了中、新生代以来的大陆边缘张裂和剪切作用对岩石层地幔结构的影响；琉球－台湾－吕宋岛弧两侧各向异性十分强烈，平行于海沟的快波方向表明菲律宾海板块和欧亚大陆的相互作用导致俯冲板块前缘的岩石层地幔强烈变形；台湾东南海域快波方向的变化可能与欧亚大陆和菲律宾海板块俯冲机制的转换以及岩石层被撕裂有关.

利用非线性方法反演琉球-台湾-吕宋地区的岩石层P波速度结构

根据中国地震台网和ISC台站提供的P波走时资料,使用差异演化全局优化算法(DE算法)和移动窗方法反演了琉球-台湾-吕宋地区岩石层尺度的P波速度结构.在台站和地震分布较为密集的地区,反演窗口为2°×2°,移动步长为1°;在台站和地震较少的地区,反演窗口为4°×4°左右,移动步长为2°.反演结果揭示出琉球-台湾-吕宋地区壳幔结构的横向差异:琉球岛弧西侧受冲绳海槽地幔热扰动的地壳减薄,东侧由于菲律宾海板决的俯冲挤压地壳略有增厚;欧亚大陆与菲律宾海板块的相互碰撞导致台湾地区地壳及岩石层明显增厚;吕宋及菲律宾北部岩石层受岛弧火山下方热流影响较大.结果表明,非线性全局优化算法和移动窗方法能够用于反演较大尺度速度结构的横向变化.

选用我国西藏及其周边地区测震台网35个台站宽频带数字地震仪记录到的2014年10月7日云南普洱M_S6.1地震的波形资料,分析了垂直向分量初至P波的幅度特征.结果表明:在震中距处于5°-18°之间的P波初动幅度相对较小,存在“影区”特征,推测该“影区”是由青藏高原下方岩石层内低速层所引起的;通过试错法,多次对比不同模型的理论波形与观测波形的P波初动振幅随震中距的变化形态,最终确定在78 km深处存在一厚度为24 km的低速层,层内速度梯度约为-0.05/s.      

VTI介质中弹性波的波动特征研究

波动特征研究对各向异性介质的弹性参数反演,速度反演、NMO,DMO、时间域的偏移以及地震资料的精确解释有着重要意义.本文由Christoffel方程出发推导出二维VTI介质中XOZ对称平面内弹性波相速度与各向异性参数的关系式以及慢度面的计算式并通过理论模型分析得出以下结论：1)ε值决定了P波的水平相速度的大小,反映了P波水平传播的相速度与垂直传播的相速度的差异;δ值决定了P波垂直方向附近相速度的各向异性程度的大小.2)VTI各向异性介质中纵波偏振方向不再与慢度面是平行而是有一定的夹角,且SV波的慢度面不再完全与偏振方向垂直的.3)准SH 波的波慢度面呈椭圆,准P波与准SV波慢度面为不规则椭圆.

青藏高原东北缘岩石层结构:高原横向生长的机制

青藏高原东北缘及其周边亚洲板块(北部到阿拉善块体,东部到鄂尔多斯块体)岩石层结构的探测对了解青藏高原的抬升和横向生长具有重要的意义。本研究利用布设在青藏高原东北缘和周边区域的高密度地震台阵所记录的波形,计算S波和P波接收函数,研究岩石层结构。结果表明,鄂尔多斯块体和阿拉善块体下方的地幔岩石层中存在较强、相对稳定的负速度梯度,其深度范围在70~150km,这与典型稳定的大陆岩石层类似;相比之下,在青藏高原东北部下方地幔岩石层的速度梯度相对较弱和较模糊,这可能是由于地幔岩石层高温和存在部分熔融物质造成的;青藏高原与鄂尔多斯块体和阿拉善块体边界之间的岩石层结构变化剧烈,这两个块体作为刚性边界限制了青藏高原的横向变化。此外,在青藏高原东北角到银川地堑区域的地幔岩石层结构是相似的,这可能意味着从青藏高原东北角到鄂尔多斯块体和阿拉善块体之间的过渡间隔区内存在横向地幔流。这个过渡带的地壳结构为青藏高原横向生长提供了证据。特别是,在海原断裂和天景山断裂之间出现了地壳增厚和双地壳的证据,该区域可能是青藏高原在东北缘横向生长的前沿。     

The attenuation anisotropy of mudstones and shales in subsurface formations

The energy of elastic waves attenuates graduallywhen propagating in anelastic media. The absorptionof P- and S-waves in rocks strongly depends on rocks’physical properties and saturation conditions. With thechange of physical conditions of rocks, the attenuationof wave energy is more sensitive than the change of itsvelocity, so it carries more information about therock’s physical property compared with the latter.Hauge et al.[1―3] determined the lithology of subsur-face formations by their…     

Experimental investigation of the strength and failure behavior of layered sandstone under uniaxial compression and Brazilian testing

As a typical inherently anisotropic rock, layered sandstones can differ from each other in several aspects, including grain size, type of material, type of cementation, and degree of compaction. An experimental study is essential to obtain and convictive evidence to characterize the mechanical behavior of such rock. In this paper, the mechanical behavior of a layered sandstone from Xuzhou, China, is investigated under uniaxial compression and Brazilian test conditions. The loading tests are conducted on 7 sets of bedding inclinations, which are defined as the angle between the bedding plane and horizontal direction. The uniaxial compression strength (UCS) and elastic modulus values show an undulatory variation when the bedding inclination increases. The overall trend of the UCS and elastic modulus values with bedding inclination is decreasing. The BTS value decreases with respect to the bedding inclination and the overall trend of it is approximating a linear variation. The 3D digital high-speed camera images reveal that the failure and fracture of a specimen are related to the surface deformation. Layered sandstone tested under uniaxial compression does not show a typical failure mode, although shear slip along the bedding plane occurs at high bedding inclinations. Strain gauge readings during the Brazilian tests indicate that the normal stress on the bedding plane transforms from compression to tension as the bedding inclination increases. The stress parallel to the bedding plane in a rock material transforms from tension to compression and agrees well with the fracture patterns; “central fractures” occur at bedding inclinations of 0°–75°, “layer activation” occurs at high bedding inclinations of 75°–90°, and a combination of the two occurs at 75°.     

Microstructural Inhomogeneity and Mechanical Anisotropy Associated with Bedding in Rothbach Sandstone

This study present the result of conventional triaxial tests conducted on samples of Rothbach sandstone cored parallel, oblique (at 45 degrees) and perpendicular to the bedding at effective pressures ranging from 5 to 250 MPa. Mechanical and microstructural data were used to determine the role of the bedding on mechanical strength and failure mode. We find that samples cored at 45 degrees to the bedding yield at intermediate level of differential stress between the ones for parallel and perpendicular samples at all effective pressures. Strain localization at high confining pressure (i.e., in the compactive domain) is observed in samples perpendicular and oblique to the bedding but not in samples cored parallel to the bedding. However, porosity reduction is comparable whether compactive shear bands, compaction bands or homogeneous cataclastic flow develop. Microstructural data suggest that (1) mechanical anisotropy is controlled by a preferred intergranular contact alignment parallel to the bedding and that (2) localization of compaction is controlled by bedding laminations and grain scale heterogeneity, which both prevent the development of well localized compaction features.     

Elastic constants and velocity surfaces of indurated anisotropic shales

The velocities of two Devonian-Mississippian shales have been measured to confining pressures of 200 MPa in a laboratory study of anisotropy and wave propagation. Both samples were found to be transversely isotropic at elevated pressures with the main symmetry axis perpendicular to bedding. The elastic constants of the shales were used to calculate phase and group velocity surfaces as a function of angle to the bedding normal. Multiple velocity measurements in non-symmetry directions, not undertaken in previously published studies of shales, have been used to confirm features observed on calculated velocity surfaces. It is demonstrated that velocities measured in non-symmetry directions are phase velocities. Group velocities were found to be significantly lower than the corresponding phase velocities of the shales due to their high anisotropies. Shear wave splitting was found to be negligible for propagation directions within approximately 30° of the bedding normals.     

Distribution of gas hydrate in fractured reservoirs: Insights from anisotropic seismic measurements

Seismic properties of hydrate-bearing reservoirs that are affected significantly by the hydrate distribution are key for quantitative assessment of the reservoir. The knowledge of hydrate distribution in fractured reservoirs remains poorly understood. To obtain such knowledge, we measured and analyzed five anisotropic velocities needed to fully characterize the seismic anisotropy in an artificial sandstone with aligned fractures during hydrate formation associated with varying distribution. We showed that while the formation of hydrate improved the velocities, the improvement was more significant for hydrate saturation above 10%. We also showed that the increasing trends varied among the anisotropic velocities when hydrate saturation was above 10%. Specifically, the compressional wave velocity travelling vertical to the bedding plane and the shear wave velocity with polarization perpendicular to the bedding plane increased more rapidly than the other compressional and shear wave velocities, respectively. Interpretation of the anisotropic seismic results suggested that the hydrate tends to bind to the grains in the fractures at low hydrate saturation, and becomes to bridge the fracture surfaces when the hydrate saturation exceeds 10%. The results have provided new insights into the hydrate distribution and its resulting anisotropic seismic properties in fractured reservoirs. This will pave the way for the successful assessment of hydrate in fractured reservoirs.     

油页岩热破裂规律显微CT实验研究

利用太原理工大学和中国工程物理研究院应用电子学研究所最新共同研制的μCT225kVFCB型高精度（μm级）CT试验分析系统,对油页岩从常温到600 ℃高温下的热破裂过程进行了显微观测和分析,揭示了抚顺油页岩的热破裂阈值温度为300 ℃附近.当温度低于300 ℃时,已可见到极少数较小的微裂隙出现,裂隙多发育于原生层理面以及硬质矿物颗粒的周围,形成的破裂面基本上都与层理面互相平行.当温度超过300 ℃,由于受到热分解化学反应的控制,裂隙的数量、长度和宽度剧烈增加,呈现广泛发育、集中爆发的特点,并使原有裂隙迅速延展和贯通,且裂隙面仍具有与层理面平行的特点,这是油页岩热破裂的典型特征;同时,也形成了许许多多垂直于层理方向的微小裂隙,小裂隙与大裂隙的搭接连通,形成了一个庞大的连通网络结构,从根本上提高了油页岩的渗流能力.

Laboratory Characterization of Permeability and Its Anisotropy of Chelungpu Fault Rocks

In Taiwan an international project to drill into the Chelungpu fault (TCDP) was initiated after the M _w 7.6 Chi-Chi earthquake in 1999. At Takeng, two vertical holes (A and B) to depths of about 2 km have been drilled through the northern portion of the Chelungpu fault system. In this study, we conducted systematic hydromechanical tests on TCDP drillcores collected from Hole-A at various depths above and below the major slip zone of the Chelungpu fault. We focus on the measurements of permeability as function of pressure and the brittle failure behavior. Evolution of permeability as a function of pressure and porosity was measured using either steady-state flow or a pulse transient technique. When subjected to an effective pressure reaching 100 MPa, permeability values of shaly siltstone samples range from 10^?16 to 10^?19 m². In comparison, permeability values of porous sandstones are at least an order of magnitude higher, ranging from 10^?14 to 10^?18 m². To characterize permeability anisotropy associated with the bedding structure of the rocks of the Chelungpu fault, cylindrical samples were taken from the TCDP drillcores along three orthogonal directions, denoted X, Y and Z respectively. Direction Z is parallel to the TCDP core axis, and the other two directions are perpendicular to the core axis, with X (N105°E) perpendicular and Y (N15°E) parallel to the strike of the bedding. In shaly siltstones, permeability values of samples cored along the strike of bedding (direction Y) can be up to 1 order of magnitude higher than those cored perpendicular to the strike of bedding (direction X). These observations indicate that permeability anisotropy is controlled by the spatial distribution of bedding in Chelungpu fault host rocks. Permeability evolution of fault rocks plays an important role in dynamic weakening processes, which are particularly pertinent to large earthquakes such as the Chi-Chi earthquake. Our experimental data on permeability and its anisotropy of TCDP core samples provide necessary constraints on fault models and proposed weakening mechanisms.     

Study of P-wave velocities and attenuation coefficients of Gondwana rocks from Chanda-Wardha valley coalfield, Maharashtra, India

This paper describes the findings of the study pertaining to the laboratory measurements of longitudinal wave velocities and attenuation coefficients of various Gondwana rocks of Chikhalgaon, Saoner and Agarjhari areas of Chanda-Wardha valley coalfield. It is found that Barakar sandstones, in general, have higher longitudinal wave velocities than Barakar and Talchir shales and Kamthi sandstones. Of the Barakar sandstones, the fine grained feldspathised variety has the maximum velocity. Attenuation coefficients of coarse-grained rocks are higher than those of fine grained ones. Black carbonaceous shales of Barakar are characterised by moderately high longitudinal wave velocities and attenuation coefficients. Coals are characterized by low longitudinal wave velocities and high attenuation coefficients. Longitudinal wave velocities of the rocks along the bedding plane are always higher than those perpendicular to the bedding plane.
