An Early Cretaceous slab window beneath central Tibet,SW China: Evidence from OIB‐like alkaline gabbros in the Duolong area

The geodynamic mechanism of the late Early Cretaceous magmatic flare‐up in the collisional zone between the Lhasa and Qiangtang terranes in Tibet is controversial because of a scarcity of robust evidence. To address this problem, we report geochronological, geochemical and Hf isotopic data for the newly discovered Gufeng gabbros from the Duolong Cu–Au mineral district of the western Bangong–Nujiang Suture Zone (BNSZ). The gabbro samples, dated at 126.3 ± 1.8 Ma, show geochemical similarities to typical ocean island basalt (OIB) and have positive εHf(t) values of +3.3 to +6.9. The gabbros were generated by decompression melting of deep upwelling asthenosphere. This event is best explained by slab break‐off and the resultant development of a slab window beneath central Tibet.

A multiscale work-analysis approach for geotechnical structures

This paper presents a second-order work analysis in application to geotechnical problems by using a novel effective multiscale approach. To abandon complicated equations involved in conventional phenomenological models, this multiscale approach employs a micromechanically-based formulation, in which only four parameters are involved. The multiscale approach makes it possible a coupling of the finite element method (FEM) and the micromechanically-based model. The FEM is used to solve the boundary value problem (BVP) while the micromechanically-based model is utilized at the Gauss point of the FEM. Then, the multiscale approach is used to simulate a three-dimensional triaxial test and a plain-strain footing. On the basis of the simulations, material instabilities are analyzed at both mesoscale and global scale. The second-order work criterion is then used to analyze the numerical results. It opens a road to interpret and understand the micromechanisms hiding behind the occurrence of failure in geotechnical issues.     

风沙路基施工技术初探

路基施工中保证路基填筑密实度，通常沙土路基采用水夯；普通路基采用振动碾、羊角碾等重型机具振密夯实。但在缺电、缺水，高气温、大风沙的沙漠气候等恶劣的施工条件下，风沙路基的施工如何保证路基填筑的密实度和施工机械在风沙路基上作业而不陷车的问题，就目前没有合适的经验可借鉴，也没有规范可参考。因此把在包西线神木北至延安北段的铁路工程建设中风沙路基施工所取得的经验和施工技术作一介绍。     

Numerical prediction of blast‐induced stress wave from large‐scale underground explosion

This paper presents a numerical model for predicting the dynamic response of rock mass subjected to large‐scale underground explosion. The model is calibrated against data obtained from large‐scale field tests. The Hugoniot equation of state for rock mass is adopted to calculate the pressure as a function of mass density. A piecewise linear Drucker–Prager strength criterion including the strain rate effect is employed to model the rock mass behaviour subjected to blast loading. A double scalar damage model accounting for both the compression and tension damage is introduced to simulate the damage zone around the charge chamber caused by blast loading. The model is incorporated into Autodyn3D through its user subroutines. The numerical model is then used to predict the dynamic response of rock mass, in terms of the peak particle velocity (PPV) and peak particle acceleration (PPA) attenuation laws, the damage zone, the particle velocity time histories and their frequency contents for large‐scale underground explosion tests. The computed results are found in good agreement with the field measured data; hence, the proposed model is proven to be adequate for simulating the dynamic response of rock mass subjected to large‐scale underground explosion. Extended numerical analyses indicate that, apart from the charge loading density, the stress wave intensity is also affected, but to a lesser extent, by the charge weight and the charge chamber geometry for large‐scale underground explosions.

相山铀矿田成矿物质来源探讨

铀源分析是铀矿床成因研究中的关键问题.在分析区域铀丰度特征的基础上,根据区域成矿物质在地质历史过程中的时空演化,结合相山矿田矿石铅同位素组成及岩、矿石微量元素地球化学对矿田铀源分析的指示,认为下寒武统地层为区域铀源层,相山火山盆地是区域成矿物质的"汇"区,岩浆及期后热液是铀的载体,即岩浆作用实现了铀从"源"到"汇"之间的物质转移.在岩浆演化过程中,铀向气液转移,为铀成矿提供了物质基础,岩浆期后流体-岩石相互作用,也促使了基底片岩、流纹英安岩中的部分铀进入成矿溶液.

阜新—朝阳高速公路段黄土三轴剪切特性研究

对取自阜新—朝阳高速公路段的黄土进行了14C测年、颗粒分析、湿陷及常规试验等,对比分析了其基本特性,通过三轴剪切试验,获得了不同含水量的黄土剪切孔压、固结孔压、抗剪强度及剪切变形的变化特征。分析认为,辽西黄土此类特性由黄土的物质成分和结构特征所决定。对不同含水量的黄土剪切变形曲线建立力学模型,拟合结果表明,对于脆性破坏的应变软化曲线,刘祖典模型描述的效果并不理想,而文中建议的经验模型则较为适合。     

中韩无居民海岛及海岸带发展管理现状比较研究

海岛和海岸带是国土资源的重要组成部分，提升其综合管理水平对促进沿海地区社会经济和海洋可持续发展具有重要意义。文章以中韩建交30周年和“联合国海洋科学促进可持续发展十年”为契机，通过对中韩无居民海岛及海岸带发展管理现状进行比较研究，探讨中韩两国在发展管理方面的异同和存在的问题。研究结果表明：在无居民海岛方面，中国以《中华人民共和国海岛保护法》为基本制度框架建立管理体系，韩国通过综合立法建立管理体系，海岛不合理利用是两国存在的共性问题；韩国重视无居民海岛的宣传，中国更加重视无居民海岛的分类。在海岸带方面，两国均采取综合管理的方式，但在实施程序上采用不同的方式，韩国由中央政府主导并交由地方政府实施综合管理，中国在综合管理体制下交由地方政府自行主导。基于研究结论，提出有针对性的管理措施和建议，促进两国海洋经济的可持续发展。     

A Forced System of Two Cylinders with Various Spacings

The spectrum characteristics and wake structures for a circular cylinder oscillating in a wake are investigated by use of the currently modified virtual boundary method. A forced system of two cylinders with a small spacing ( the downstream one is made to oscillate in the transverse direction) is studied and interesting flow characteristics are observed. A vortex switch and the change of vortex modes (between 2S mode and 2P mode) are observed in the “lock-in“ region. Vortex bands are formed and lost with the increasing excitation frequency. Information concerning saddle points in the flow field is obtained for different excitation frequencies. For a forced system of two cylinders with a large spacing, the upstream cylinder sheds vortexes because there is no downstream cylinder oscillating in the wake. No distinct “lock-in“ response is found for the downstream cylinder.
