Time-dependent analytic solutions of quasi-steady shocks with cooling

The author presents time-dependent analytical solutions of quasi-steady shocks with cooling, where quasi-steady shocks are objects composed of truncated steady-state models of shocks at any intermediate time. These solutions are compared to simulations with a hydrodynamical code and finally quasi-steady shocks are discussed as approximations to time-dependent shocks. Large departure of both the adiabatic and steady-state approximations from the quasi-steady solution emphasise the importance of the cooling history in determining the trajectory of a shock.     

Mining seismicity, gas outburst and the significance of their relationship in the study of physics of earthquake source

This paper presents an overview of mining seismicity, gas outburst and their origin. The internal relation of mining seismicity and gas outburst in the dynamic process is studied on the basis of the fact that these disasters sometimes occur simultaneously. The examples show a close relationship between mining seismicity and gas outburst in high gassy coal mines. It is proposed that strong mine shocks plus the response of low value and delay time are early warning signals. The mechanism of the relationship between mining seismicity and gas outburst is analyzed by using the location of mining shocks, focus mechanism, cause of mining shocks and conditions of gas outburst. The trigger action of gas fluid on mining shocks, especially the effect of the anomalous property of supercritical fluid on the preparation and occurrence of mining shocks is discussed. According to the similarity between min-ing-induced earthquakes and tectonic earthquakes in terms of mechanism, the significance of the above results in the study of physics of earthquake source is also discussed.

本文分析各类激波特别是中间激波的特性与上游阿尔文数、激波角和气压-磁压比的关系,阐明各类激波在上游参数空间的连接方式.主要结论是:当上游阿尔文波速大于声速时,慢激波和快激波可通过三种基本方式相互连接;当上游阿尔文波速小于声速时,激波连接只限于慢激波和中间激波之间.这些结论有助于进一步探讨混合激波的结构和演化规津.     

引潮力对显著地震触发作用与大震关系的机理讨论

初步讨论了引潮力对显著地震触发作用与大震关系的机理。 结果表明, 这一机理是比较复杂的。 地震发生时水平引潮力方位与地震断层面走向接近, 可能增加断层面上的剪应力, 有利于地震的发生; 水平引潮力方位与地震主张应力轴T轴接近, 可能减小断层面上的正应力, 从而减小断层面上的摩擦力, 也会有利于地震的发生。 所讨论的3个震例中有2个共同点: 其一为大震前显著地震发生时水平引潮力方位相互比较接近; 其二为显著地震破裂面走向和大震破裂面走向基本一致。

Shocks and sheaths in the heliosphere

This paper compares three kinds of shocks and sheaths; the bow shock and magnetosheaths of planets, interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) shocks and sheaths, and the termination shock and heliosheath. We compare the energy balance across these shocks, fluctuations in the sheaths, asymmetries, and shock evolution. All three shocks and sheaths display asymmetries imposed by outside magnetic fields. Energy balance is often achieved through reflection of ions of the shocks, but in some cases no reflected ions are observed. The shocks may have similar small scale fluctuations which drive density changes in the sheaths.     

Analysis of vertical crustal movements in the period of the Kaliningrad earthquake of September 21, 2004 (from sea level data)

The paper analyzes data of leveling and meteorological observations conducted in the Kaliningrad region in the second half of September 2004, i.e., during a period including the few moderate seismic shocks of September 21, 2004. The analysis of long observation series and comparison of sea level variations recorded from September 15 through 30, 2004, with meteorological data have led to the conclusion that, most probably, the Sambiiskii Peninsula subsided tectonically by 25–30 cm over 12–24 h and a new sequence of seismic shocks occurred five to eight hours after the beginning of the subsidence. The geodynamic and prognostic aspects of the results obtained in this work are discussed.

1989 Datong-Yanggao Earthquake with Ms=6.1

In this paper,the basic conditions and characteristics of the Datong-Yanggao earthquake are described in detail.The type of the earthquake,the aftershock activity,the earthquake trend,the characteristics of damage are analyzed and discussed.This earthquake belongs to a sequence of earthquake swarm type and is of the concentratedly occurring characteristics of several main shocks in a time sequence,and the aftershock activity was normally attenuated.Because of the unreasonable design of buildings and repeated vibration by several destructive main shocks within a short period,the damage in the high intensity region was aggravated.The analysis and the prediction procedure of the 1991 Datong-Yanggao earthquake(Ms=5.8)are also briefly given.     

Erdbebengeräusche

Summary During the year 1946 the seismic activity in the ?Wallis? (Switzerland) was very high. A series of aftershocks has been registrated in the epicentre. At the same time the acoustic phenomenon accompanving the shocks has been observed directly. The different shocks could be classified in two types. The shocks which began as an eyplosion had all a very steep first wavefront (Fig. 2). The shocks which produced the same noise as an approaching heavy car had a very feeble first phase (Fig. 1).

Résumé L'année 1946 fut une période séismique très active dans le Valais. On eut l'occasion d'observer une grande série de répliques dans l'épicentre avec un séismographe transportable. Les phénomènes acoustiques accompagnant ces secousses et observés directement, sont comparés avec les enregistrements séismographiques. Les secousses se manifestant comme eyplosion ont des enregistrements séismiques très typiques. Le front de la première onde des secousses était très raide (Fig. 2), tandis que les secousses dont le bruit émis ressemblait à une voiture roulante ont eu des précurseurs faibles (Fig. 1).

     

Structural Setting of Strong Earthquakes in the Huabei Area of China

— Using P and S arrival times, which occurred within the Huabei seismic network, we carried out a tomographic inversion and compared results with the earthquake catalogue of the last 1000?years in the area. The results are as follows:¶1) The hypocenters of most of the strong shocks are distributed in the transitional zones between high- and low-velocity areas in the crust, especially at edges of high-velocity blocks.¶2) Strong shocks predominantly lie above low-velocity blocks, or in transitional zones between low- and high-velocity areas, in the lower crust.¶3) The tectonic settings for the Tangshan and the Sanhe-Pingu earthquakes are similar. Both are not known near large fault belts, and in zones with a sharp lateral velocity gradient.¶4) The Ninghe, Tangshan and Luanxia earthquakes are located in high-velocity blocks that differ in size and depth. This difference can explain the focal depth distribution of the Tangshan earthquake sequence, i.e., earthquakes are shallower in the northeastern Luanxian area but deeper in the southwestern Ninghe area.     

基于地壳双层结构假设的大陆强震孕震机制探讨

通过对地壳低速高导层和地震震源深度等有关资料的分析研究,在对地震发生前兆、特征及物理机制研究的基础上,初步提出了一个简单的地壳双层孕震模式:地壳存在有两层孕震结构,上层为主孕震层,是地震应力集中积聚和发震后释放应变能的地方,主要是岩石发生脆性变形层,深度在中上地壳范围内;下层为低速高导层,是诱发和加强上层脆性层岩石变形、应变能积累和破裂的主要因素之一,处于岩石脆—韧性变形的过渡带,强震的发生与本层有着密切的关系,深度在中下地壳范围内。同时基于该双层孕震假设讨论了强震的孕育环境及作用。     

关于1556年华县大地震及岳阳地震的讨论

通过研究地震烈度的衰减、临近华县地区历次强震等烈度线形态的相似性以及秦岭东西构造带对地震动的阻挡,认为华县大地震南侧的四度线边界在襄阳～光山一带,即大致在北纬32°附近,其南侧出现一个无震感记录的地带,无震感地带以南才是岳阳地震的影响场区,它有自己的震中,震中烈度七度,向外烈度衰减有闭合的四度区边界,表明1556年发生的华县大地震与岳阳地震是同时发生的两个独立的地震     

Accurate Location of the Yao＇an Earthquake Sequence and the Yongsheng Earthquake Sequence

The Yao＇an Ms6.5 earthquake occurred on Jan. 15, 2000 and the Yongsheng Ms6.0 earthquake occurred on Oct. 27, 2001 in Yunnan Province, China. They are both located in the middle of the Dian block. Their epicenters are close to each other, the tectonic and strain characters of the earthquakes were similar, and there were many aftershocks after the two main shocks. In order to further study the spatial-temporal distributions and fault rupture characters of the main shocks and aftershocks, the latter are located using the Geiger earthquake location algorithm （Geiger） and the double difference earthquake location algorithm （DD） based on the seismic phase data of the two earthquake sequences. They were recorded by two Near Source Digital Seismic Networks （YNSSN and YSNSSN） deployed by the Yunnan Seismological Bureau （YNSB）. Then, two main shock parameters were relocated using DD based on the data of larger magnitude aftershocks and the two main shocks that were recorded by the Kunming Regional Digital Seismic Network （KMSN）. Combining the spatial- temporal distributions of the two earthquake sequences, the tectonic and strain characters of earthquakes, the rupture processes of the two aftershock sequences along faults are analyzed and discussed contrastively.     

Accurate Location of the Yao''''an Earthquake Sequence and the Yongsheng Earthquake Sequence

本文依据4个大震的实际观测资料讨论了地震前兆异常幅度随震中距成非线性变化的现象,发现其异常幅度峰值往往并不位于震中,而是位于震源体边缘地带。进而首次提出利用这种地震前兆异常幅度峰值围空作为预报地震发生地点的一种可能途径     

华北地区强震前的信号震及其预测意义

根据对华北地区1970年以来M_S≥6地震以前中小地震活动空间图像变化特征的分析, 研究了“信号震”发生的时空特征及其地震活动背景, 由“场-源”关系特征对一般地震进行严格的筛选识别, 从而得出信号震的有关预测指标。 信号震一般发生在强震前的2年之内, 多数发生在15个月内; 信号震与强震的距离不超过200 km, 多数在100 km之内; 震级强度一般为M_L4.0～5.3。 信号震一般发生在局部的M_L≥4.0地震平静区内, 一般发生在中小地震条带上或条带附近, 在其周围或附近存在中小地震空区。 检验结果表明, 信号震发生后的9个月之内, 其预测概率P_t即超过0.5, R_t值达到0.27; 预测区域半径在距信号震震中100 km之内时, 其发生概率P_d可以达到0.73; 预测强震震级一般为M_S≥6.0。 研究表明, 信号震的环境应力值τ₀明显高于其他地震, 显示了高应力背景的异常显著性, 它所辐射的地震波中很可能含有未来强震孕震区的大量的本质性信息。
