柴达木盆地西北缘昆特依凹陷的双层钾盐成矿模式特征及成因

柴达木盆地是我国和世界重要的钾盐产地,目前对地表浅层盐湖钾盐研究颇多,但对深部碎屑孔隙钾盐研究较少.本文以昆特依凹陷为例,总结柴达木盆地钾盐成矿的时空变化规律,通过对该区地质、水文、古环境及卤水储层特征等分析建立"双层钾盐"成矿模式:上层为赋存在Qp2-h盐湖相化学盐类晶体裂隙间的晶间卤水,下层是Qp1冲洪积相砂砾孔隙卤水.采用聚类分析、特征系数、介稳相图、piper三线图及氢氧同位素等数理、地球化学手段分析上、下层卤水离子含量,探讨"双层钾盐"模式成因和上、下层卤水的内在联系.研究认为,昆特依凹陷内"双层钾盐"赋存卤水均为陆相沉积环境中的盐岩溶滤水,其中上层晶间卤水更多表现为盐岩溶解,但也不乏溶滤作用,下层砂砾孔隙卤水则着重表现为石盐的溶解;上层晶间卤水表现出下层砂砾孔隙卤水深度演化的特征,下层砂砾孔隙卤水具有对深部古盐岩层及上层晶间层的继承性;昆特依凹陷周边的新近纪背斜构造区油田水在成因上也与"双层钾盐"卤水密切相关.     

On non-linear dynamic analysis in the frequency domain: Algorithms and applications

It is well known that the solution of the forced vibration of a N-DOF dynamical problem is very cumbersome when conditions which allow the equations to uncouple do not exist. In the literature several techniques were proposed to overcome the problem, but they were mainly focused on a particular problem in turn. So, we deemed it useful to search for a unifying procedure able to deal with different sources of non-linear behaviour introducing only minor changes in the operation flow. In this respect, attention is paid to the Alternating Frequency/Time domain method (AFT) which draws its robustness from the speed and switching capabilities of the Fast Fourier Transform; moreover, taking advantage of the pseudo-force concept, we can arrive at a solution method featuring greater generality and able to solve different non-linear dynamical problems by means of specialization of the same conceptual framework (G-AFT or Generalized AFT). In the first section of the paper the theoretical background is discussed in detail and the proposed algorithms are presented. In the second one, several examples of technical relevance are documented and solved, highlighting the efficiency, convergence and accuracy of the presented algorithm. For cases such as an 11-storey building or a block simulated power plant we introduce the soil-structure interaction effect by means of non-proportional damping; the responses computed either by direct frequency analysis or by iteration are compared with existing solutions or with time domain solutions determined through the Newmark β method. An original example prepared by the authors and fully referenced is finally worked out in order to show the capability of the method when Coulomb damping is taken into account; this effect covers a significant practical relevance in the base isolation field.     

Time domain dynamic analysis of piles under impact loading

In this paper, time domain dynamic analysis of piles under impact loading is presented. For this purpose a hybrid boundary element technique is implemented. Linear beam column finite elements are used to model the piles and resulting governing equations are solved using an implicit integration scheme. The continuum is assumed to be elastic and an efficient step-by-step time integration scheme is implemented by using an approximate half space integral formulation. By enforcing displacement equilibrium conditions at each time step, a system of equations is generated which yields the solution. Results of this time domain formulation under linear material behavior are compared with Laplace domain results to validate the methods.     

Approximate dynamic model of embedded foundation in time domain

A discrete model to represent the unbounded soil (halfspace) in a soil–structure interaction analysis in the time domain is developed. For each dynamic degree of freedom of the foundation node, the discrete model consists of a mass M₀ which is attached to a rigid support with a spring K and with a damper C₀. In addition, a free node with the mass M₁ is introduced, which is connected to the foundation node with a damper C₁. All coefficients are frequency-independent. The discrete model is semi-empirical. It is based on a semi-infinite truncated cone, whereby, after enforcing the static stiffness, the remaining parameters are modified to achieve an optimal fit of the dynamic-stiffness coefficient in the frequency domain. The spring K is equal to the static stiffness. The coefficients appearing in the equations for the dampers C₀, C₁ and the masses M₀, M₁ are specified (assuming a homogeneous halfspace) for the disc, the embedded cylinder, the rectangle (also embedded) and the strip. A square on a layer whose stiffness increases with depth resting on a homogeneous halfspace is also treated. For an embedded foundation, eccentricities arise. Material damping increases the damper C₀ and the mass M₀.

System parameters of soil foundations for time domain dynamic analysis

Soil-structure interaction analysis is usually carried out in the frequency domain, because the compliance functions of the half-space are known only in the frequency domain. Since non-linear analysis cannot be carried out in the frequency domain, a system with frequency independent parameters is used to represent the half-space soil medium so that a nonlinear analysis in the time domain becomes possible. The objective of this paper is to propose a system with lumped parameters, which are independent of frequency, to represent the half-space soil medium. The proposed frequency independent system consists of a number of real discrete structure elements; thus the existing dynamic analysis programs may be adoptable with little modification. In this paper, the parameters are found by minimizing the sum of the squares of deviations between the steady-state responses of the theoretical half-space model and those of the lumped parameter system over a specified frequency range. Once the parameters have been found, the lumped parameter system can be used in practical applications for time domain dynamic analysis of either linear or non-linear structures. In comparison with the dynamic response of the theoretical half-space model, the lumped parameter system yields satisfactory results.     

Three-dimensional dynamic soil–structure interaction analysis in the time domain

A new numerical procedure is proposed for the analysis of three-dimensional dynamic soil–structure interaction in the time domain. In this study, the soil is modelled as a linear elastic solid, however, the methods developed can be adapted to include the effects of soil non-linearities and hysteretic damping in the soil. A substructure method, in which the unbounded soil is modelled by the scaled boundary finite-element method, is used and the structure is modelled by 8–21 variable-number-node three-dimensional isoparametric or subparametric hexahedral curvilinear elements. Approximations in both time and space, which lead to efficient schemes for calculation of the acceleration unit-impulse response matrix, are proposed for the scaled boundary finite-element method resulting in significant reduction in computational effort with little loss of accuracy. The approximations also lead to a very efficient scheme for evaluation of convolution integrals in the calculation of soil–structure interaction forces. The approximations proposed in this paper are also applicable to the boundary element method. These approximations result in an improvement over current methods. A three-dimensional Dynamic Soil–Structure Interaction Analysis program (DSSIA-3D) is developed, and seismic excitations (S-waves, P-waves, and surface waves) and externally applied transient loadings can be considered in analysis. The computer program developed can be used in the analysis of three-dimensional dynamic soil–structure interaction as well as in the analysis of wave scattering and diffraction by three-dimensional surface irregularities. The scattering and diffraction of seismic waves (P-, S-, and Rayleigh waves) by various three-dimensional surface irregularities are studied in detail, and the numerical results obtained are in good agreement with those given by other authors. Numerical studies show that the new procedure is suitable and very efficient for problems which involve low frequencies of interest for earthquake engineering.

A Study of Mean Winter Circulation Characteristics and Energetics over Southeastern Asia

A mean climatology is studied to examine atmospheric circulation characteristics to assess the wintertime (December, January, February and March - DJFM) synoptic weather system affecting northern India. The main objective is to study the mean circulation and mean energetics distribution pertaining to the winter season, which are embedded with an eastward moving synoptic weather system in westerlies, called Western Disturbances (WDs). Forty years (1958–1997) of uninitialized daily re-analysis data of the National Center for Environmental Prediction - National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP- NCAR, henceafter NCEP), U.S. has been considered for this study. Winter circulations are considered over the domain 15°S–45°N and 30°E–120°E. This domain is considered particularly to illustrate the impact of wintertime synoptic weather system Western Disturbances (WDs), which travel towards the east over the western Himalayas during winter and yield an enormous amount of precipitation in the form of snow. Large-scale balances of kinetic energy, vorticity, angular momentum, heat and moisture budget terms are analyzed. The main findings of the study show that strong rising motion in the extratropical region brings a significant amount of precipitation over the region of study. Also, horizontal flux of kinetic energy converges in the tropical region and diverges over the extratropical region. It is seen that both the zonal and meridional component of kinetic energy contributes to the production of kinetic energy in the upper troposphere. Vorticity budget shows that wintertime circulation over the western Himalayas is characterized by a negative generation of vorticity. The relative and planetary vorticity advection contributes to the horizontal transport of vorticity. The moisture flux transported into the region shows that in the middle tropospheric levels moisture undergoes phase transformation due to turbulent exchange and hence releases latent heat.

Non-linear soil-structure-interaction analysis using dynamic stiffness or flexibility of soil in the time domain

The basic equation of motion to analyse the interaction of a non-linear structure and an irregular soil with the linear unbounded soil is formulated in the time domain. The contribution of the unbounded soil involves convolution integrals of the dynamic-stiffness coefficients in the time domain and the corresponding motions. Alternatively, a flexibility formulation for the contribution of the unbounded soil using the dynamic-flexibility coefficients in the time domain, together with the direct-stiffness method for the structure and the irregular soil can be applied. The dynamic-stiffness or flexibility coefficient in the time domain is calculated as the inverse Fourier transform of the corresponding value in the frequency domain. The dynamic-stiffness coefficient's asymptotic behaviour for high frequencies determines the singular part whose transformation exists only in the sense of a distribution. As the dynamic-flexibility coefficient converges to zero for the frequency approaching infinity, the corresponding coefficient in the time domain is simpler to calculate, as no singular part exists. The salient features of the dynamic-stiffness and flexibility coefficients in the time domain are illustrated using a semi-infinite rod with exponentially increasing area. The dynamic-flexibility coefficients in the time domain are calculated for a rigid circular disc resting on the surface of an elastic halfspace and of a layer built-in at its base. Material damping is also introduced using the three-parameter Kelvin and the Voigt models.     

小波尺度域含气储层地震波衰减特征

黏弹性衰减因子Q的可靠估计可通过Q反褶积来提高地震资料的分辨率并有助于振幅分析. 本文从小波理论出发,结合地震波在黏弹性介质中的传播方程,推导出小波尺度域地震波能量衰减公式. 能量衰减公式具有下列性质：（1）Q值越大,能量衰减得越慢;Q值越小,能量衰减越严重;（2）尺度越小,信号中保留的能量越少;（3）对于脉冲源来说在理想的无衰减介质(即Q趋近于∞)中传播时,信号在不同尺度内的能量相同. 利用尺度能量公式,可从反射地震资料中直接估计品质因子Q（即衰减因子）,也可以提取不同尺度的能量衰减剖面作为储层描述的属性参数,用来进行岩性识别和指示气藏,与经典的谱比法相比,避免了谱比法所面临的双时窗问题以及进行谱估计的窗选择问题. 理论模型试验表明了本文方法的正确性和有效性.

Characteristics and origins of primary fluids and noble gases in mantle-derived minerals from the Yishu area, Shandong Province, China

springerlink.com Studies of mantle fluids are currently one of the hot topics in the earth science, greatly contributing to re-vealing origins and evolutions of fluids. In general, the concept of mantle fluids refers to their active compo-nents, such as CO2, H2O, N2, etc., while the noble gases inert in chemical properties belong to another research system. Due to their marked differences in various fluid sources of the Earth[1], the isotopic sig-natures of He and Ar have been widely used a…     

Application of the dynamic calibration method to international monitoring system stations in Central Asia using natural seismicity data

The dynamic calibration method (DCM), using natural seismicity data and initially elaborated in [Kedrov, 2001; Kedrov et al., 2001; Kedrov and Kedrov, 2003], is applied to International Monitoring System (IMS) stations in Central Asia. The algorithm of the method is refined and a program is designed for calibrating diagnostic parameters (discriminants) that characterize a seismic source on the source-station traces. The DCM calibration of stations in relation to the region under study is performed by the choice of attenuation coefficients that adapt the diagnostic parameters to the conditions in a reference region. In this method, the stable Eurasia region is used as the latter. The calibration used numerical data samples taken from the archive of the International Data Centre (IDC) for the IMS stations MKAR, BVAR, EIL, ASF, and CMAR. In this paper, we used discriminants in the spectral and time domains that have the form

$D_i = X_i - a_m m_b - b_\Delta \log \Delta $

and are independent of the magnitude m _b and the epicentral distance Δ; these discriminants were elaborated in [Kedrov et al., 1990; Kedrov and Lyuke, 1999] on the basis of a method used for identification of events at regional distances in Eurasia. Prerequisites of the DCM are the assumptions that the coefficient a _m is regionindependent and the coefficient b _Δ depends only on the geotectonic characteristics of the medium and does not depend on the source type. Thus, b _Δ can be evaluated only from a sample of earthquakes in the region studied; it is used for adapting the discriminants D(X _i ) in the region studied to the reference region. The algorithm is constructed in such a way that corrected values of D(X i) are calculated from the found values of the calibration coefficients b _Δ, after which natural events in the region under study are selected by filtering. Empirical estimates of the filtering efficiency as a function of a station vary in a range of 95–100%. The DCM was independently tested using records obtained at the IRIS (Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology) stations BRVK and MAKZ from explosions detonated in India on May 11, 1998, and Pakistan on May 28, 1998; these stations are similar in location and recording instrumentation characteristics to the IMS stations BVAR and MKAR. This test resulted in correct recognition of the source type and thereby directly confirmed the validity of the proposed calibration method of stations with the use of natural seismicity data. It is shown that the calibration coefficients b _Δ for traces similar in the conditions of signal propagation (e.g., the traces from Iran to the stations EIL and ASF) are comparable for nearly all diagnostic parameters. We arrive at the conclusion that the method of dynamic calibration of stations using natural seismicity data in a region where no explosions were detonated can be significant for a rapid and inexpensive calibration of IMS stations. The DCM can also be used for recognition of industrial chemical explosions that are sometimes erroneously classified in regional catalogs as earthquakes.

     

Investigation of OMA formation and the effect of minerals

Oil-mineral-aggregates (OMA) have been shown to be effective in oil spills cleanup. Experimental work was carried out to study the effects of physical-chemical properties of natural minerals and chemically modified minerals on OMA formation and oil removal. The results showed that the hydrophobicity, particle sizes and specific surface of minerals played an important role in OMA formation. Appropriate hydrophobicity of minerals can enhance the formation of OMA. The surface property of minerals can also influence the shape of OMA. Spherical mineral-oil aggregates were frequently formed with hydrophilic minerals while irregular shaped OMA were observed with hydrophobic minerals. The sizes of OMA also increased when the minerals changed from hydrophilic to hydrophobic. The effects of dispersant and mixing energy were also carefully studied. The results showed that dispersant were a dominant factor. When dispersant was applied, effects of other factors became minimal.     

The Migration Characteristics of Strong Earthquakes on the North-South Seismic Belt and Its Relation with the South Asia Seismic Belt

Migration of strong earthquakes （M≥ 7.0） along the North-South Seismic Belt of China since 1500 AD shows three patterns： Approximately equal time and distance interval migration from N to S, varied patterns of migration from S to N and grouped strong earthquake activity in a certain period over the entire seismic belt. Analysis of strong earthquakes in the past hundred years shows that the seismicity on the North-South Seismic Belt is also associated with strong earthquake activities on the South Asia Seismic Belt which extends from Myanmar to Sumatra, Indonesia. Strong earthquakes on the former belt often lag several months or years behind the quakes occurring on the later belt. So, after the occurrence of the December 26, 2004 Ms8.7 great earthquake off the western coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, the possibility of occurrence of strong earthquakes on the North-South Seismic Belt of China cannot be ignored. The abovementioned migration characteristics of strong earthquakes are related to the northeastward collision and subduction of the India Plate as well as the interaction between the Qinghai-Xizang （Tibet） Plateau and the stable and hard Ordos and Alashan Massifs at its northeastern margin.

Plate tectonics and the fusion of Asia

The coincidence of orogenic belts containing zones of high pressure metamorphism, ophiolites and deepwater sediments with faunal province boundaries leads to the postulation of several sutural zones within Asia. About nine blocks are defined and it is suggested on the basis of palaeogeographical, palaeontological and tectonic evidence that Asia did not fuse completely until well into the Mesozoic.     

Wetlands of Northeast Asia and High Asia: an overview

This review reports background information on wetlands in the Northeast Asia and High Asia areas, including wetland coverage and type, significance for local populations, and threats to their vitality and protection, with particular focus on the relationship of how global change influenced wetlands. Natural wetlands in these areas have been greatly depleted and degraded, largely due to global climate change, drainage and conversion to agriculture and silviculture, hydrologic alterations, exotics invasions, and misguided management policies. Global warming has caused wetland and ice-sheet loss in High Asia and permafrost thawing in tundra wetlands in Northeast Asia, and hence induced enormous reductions in water-storage sources in High Asia and carbon loss in Northeast Asia. This, in the long term, will exacerbate chronic water shortage and positively feed back global warming. Recently, better understanding of the vital role of healthy wetland ecosystems to Asia’s sustainable economic development has led to major efforts in wetland conservation and restoration. Nonetheless, collaborative efforts to restore and protect the wetlands must involve not only the countries of Northeast and High Asia but also international agencies. Research has been productive but the results should be more effectively integrated with policy-making and wetland restoration practices under future climatic scenarios.
