Multiscale modeling and analysis of compaction bands in high-porosity sandstones

We present a multiscale investigation on the initiation and development of compaction bands in high-porosity sandstones based on an innovative hierarchical multiscale approach. This approach couples the finite element method and the discrete element method (DEM) to offer direct, rigorous linking of the microscopic origins and mechanisms with complex macroscopic phenomena observed in granular rocks such as strain localization and failure. To simulate compaction band in granular cementitious sandstone, we adopt a bonded contact model with normal and tangential interparticle cohesions in the DEM and propose a dual-porosity structure consisting of macro-pores and interstitial voids for the representative volume element to mimic the typical meso-structure of high-porosity sandstones. In the absence of particle crushing, our multiscale analyses identify debonding and pore collapses as two major contributors to the formation of compaction bands. The critical pressures predicted by our simulations, corresponding to surges of debonding and pore collapse events, agree well with the estimations from field data. The occurrence patterns of compaction band are found closely related to specimen heterogeneity, porosity and confining pressure. Other deformation band patterns, including shear-enhanced compaction bands and compactive shear bands, were also observed under relatively low confining pressure conditions with a rough threshold at \(0.55P^{*}\) (\(P^{*}\) is the critical pressure) on the failure envelop. Key microscopic characteristics attributable to the occurrence of these various deformation patterns, including fabric anisotropy, particle rotation, debonding and pore collapse, are examined. Shear-enhanced compaction bands and pure compaction bands bear many similarities in terms of these microscopic characteristics, whereas both differ substantially from compactive shear bands.     

内蒙古额尔古纳地区比利亚谷大型铅锌银矿床稀土微量元素地球化学特征及成矿意义

比利亚谷铅锌银矿位于海拉尔-根河中生代火山盆地北西缘。该矿床赋存于上侏罗统满克头鄂博组酸性火山岩中,受NW向断裂构造控制,主矿体呈脉状产出。火山岩围岩及主要矿石矿物的微量稀土特征相似:具有富集Rb、Th等大离子亲石元素,而亏损Sr、Nb、Ta等高场强元素的特点,表明其均产于板内构造环境。不同之处为:1矿石矿物的稀土微量元素总量明显小于火山岩围岩;2火山岩围岩呈现出明显的负Eu异常,而矿石矿物则具有强弱不等的正Eu异常。综合分析认为比利亚谷铅锌银矿为火山-次火山热液型矿床,其主要成矿作用与晚侏罗世-早白垩世(140Ma左右)火山活动有着密切联系,区域地质背景上对应于构造体制大转折的晚期,但是成矿期后矿体受到了120Ma大规模岩浆活动的影响,本期岩浆活动是区域岩石圈快速减薄引起,产生了一期深变质作用以及壳幔相互作用有关的深部流体活动,受其强烈改造,引起了矿石矿物微量稀土元素含量的改变。     

Analyzing regional economic impact and resilience: a case study on electricity outages caused by the 2008 snowstorms in southern China

When we think about the loss caused by natural disasters, we generally think about the direct economic loss. Although the direct economic loss is often obvious, the subsequent indirect economic loss can also be quite substantial. This research is a case study about the indirect economic impact of the Hunan electricity disruptions resulting from the 2008 snowstorms in southern China. Utilizing the computable general equilibrium model, this study shows that the indirect economic loss in Hunan Province resulting from electricity supply disruptions is estimated at USD 372 million over a 3-month recovery period. We also compare our results with other studies that use input–output models and discuss how the total regional economic resilience can mitigate economic losses through market substitutions and price changes.

基于夜间灯光和人口密度数据的京津冀GDP空间化对比

国内生产总值（GDP）是衡量地区经济发展水平的重要指标,GDP的空间化可以为灾害风险分析等多学科交叉研究提供基础数据。空间化代用数据的选择是社会经济统计数据空间化的关键,本文以京津冀地区作为研究区,将夜间灯光、全球人口密度（LandScan）和亚洲人口密度（AsiaPop）空间分布信息作为代用数据,将市级GDP统计数据空间展布到栅格单元,以绝对误差、相对误差和均方根误差为指标,利用县级统计数据对展布结果进行误差分析,并对比3种数据对GDP空间模拟的表达效果。结果表明：相对于夜间灯光和LandScan数据,AsiaPop模拟得到的综合误差最小;基于夜间灯光和LandScan的GDP空间展布误差格局比较接近,即存在经济较发达的市辖区GDP值被低估、市郊区县GDP被高估的误差“两极区”倾向,而基于AsiaPop的GDP空间展布误差格局与经济发展水平关系不密切。因此,利用单一代用数据很难合理地反映经济活动的空间分布,综合夜间灯光、人口密度、道路和建筑物等多源空间数据是提高GDP空间展布精度的发展趋势。     

南海岩石圈破裂方式与扩张过程的三维物理模拟

南海的形成演化一直是国内外关注的热点之一.为了揭示南海的构造演化过程, 分析对比了3组物理模拟实验.实验结果表明, 断裂样式和裂谷带的走向与岩石圈的初始热流变结构密切相关.对比模拟结果与陆缘的断层样式, 推测在张裂初期, 陆坡区比陆架区具有相对热减薄的岩石圈, 从而导致不同构造位置上发育不同的裂陷特征.受下地壳和软流圈韧性流动的影响, 断层越是靠近扩张区, 倾角变得越平缓.实验揭示, 破裂首先以点状出现, 这些点不断扩大并互相连接形成连续的扩张区.共轭边缘常具有对称的形状, 向海盆方向对凹或者对凸.当离散边界附近有刚性块体时, 扩张区域的边界会明显受到地块边缘形态的影响.通过模拟实验, 推测破裂过程可能以较粘性的方式进行.西北次海盆的发育可能是沿着中-西沙地块北缘深裂陷槽破裂的结果.

银额盆地及周缘的两期晚新生代伸展构造:喜马拉雅碰撞造山远程效应的两个构造间歇期

银额盆地是中亚造山带南缘的一个中-新生代沉积盆地。在2017～2018年的野外地质调查期间,我们在银额盆地及周缘发现了多处晚新生代的伸展构造。这些伸展构造主要是一系列的正断层,还有同期的“X”共轭节理。相邻的两条倾向相对的正断层形成地堑。杭乌拉南正断层和鼎新镇北地堑形成于第四纪晚期,北山煤矿的正断层活动时间可能也是第四纪晚期。第四纪晚期正断层走向近E-W;伴生的鼎新镇北“X”共轭节理由走向NE-SW和NW-SE两组近直立的节理组成。苏宏图背斜上发育的正断层形成于新近纪晚期—第四纪早期,走向近E-W。古应力场分析,两期伸展构造的最大主拉张应力方向都是近N-S。这两期晚新生代伸展构造属于喜马拉雅碰撞造山的远程效应的组成部分,代表了远程效应脉动式演化过程的两个构造间歇期。
