中国及邻区地震的天文潮汐触发特征研究—附加潮汐应力对发震断层的作用模式及其应用

本文在潮汐应力、构造应力、地震断层和岩石破裂滑动理论的基础上，建立了潮汐应力对地震断层作用的力学模式，该模式将潮汐应力与地震应力作用相结合，描述了沿地震主压应力和地震主张应务方向的附加潮汐应力对发震断层的力学作用方式，从而切入潮汐应力触发地震的物理机制，认为潮汐对地震的触发作用在实质上归结为潮汐应力对地震断层的促滑作用，这种促滑作用分增压型和减压型。在此模式基础上，对中国大陆及邻区的不同类型地震的潮汐触发性进行了研究，内容包括：计算了中国及邻区一千多个地震震源处沿主压应力P轴和主张应力T轴方向的附加潮汐应力分量，分析了这些量对发震断层的作用方式，按纬度区域统计了受到潮汐应力促滑作用的发震断层类型以及它们与潮汐应力作用方式的关系，得到了如下结论：受到潮汐应力促滑作用的发震断层的比例随区域纬度增加有减小趋势，其中，走滑型断层的比例在低纬区较大，而倾滑斜型断层的比例在中高纬度区较大；对整个统计区域而言，受增压型潮汐应力促滑作用的发震断层数比例大于受减压型潮汐应力促滑作用的发震断层；对不同的纬度区域，不同的潮汐应力作用方式与之促滑的发震断层类型也有不同的分布特征。最后，本文将中国及邻区受到潮汐触发作用的地震按构造应力区域划分，计算了这些地震发震时刻的日月位置参数，得到了各构造区域上具有潮汐触发物理机制的地震发震时的日、月位置参数分布图象。

Central configurations of four bodies with an axis of symmetry

A complete solution is given for a symmetric case of the problem of the planar central configurations of four bodies, when two bodies are on an axis of symmetry, and the other two bodies have equal masses and are situated symmetrically with respect to the axis of symmetry. The positions of the bodies on the axis of symmetry are described by angle coordinates with respect to the outside bodies. The solution is such, that giving the angle coordinates, the masses for which the given configuration is a central configuration, can be computed from simple analytical expressions of the angles. The central configurations can be described as one-parameter families, and these are discussed in detail in one convex and two concave cases. The derived formulae represent exact analytical solutions of the four-body problem.

Counting relative equilibrium configurations of the full two-body problem

Consider a system of two rigid, massive bodies interacting according to their mutual gravitational attraction. In a relative equilibrium motion, the bodies rotate rigidly and uniformly about a fixed axis in \({\mathbb {R}}^3\). This is possible only for special positions and orientations of the bodies. After fixing the angular momentum, these relative equilibrium configurations can be characterized as critical points of a smooth function on configuration space. The goal of this paper is to use Morse theory and Lusternik–Schnirelmann category theory to give lower bounds for the number of critical points when the angular momentum is sufficiently large. In addition, the exact number of critical points and their Morse indices are found in the limit as the angular momentum tends to infinity.     

Further analysis of the region of permissible motion in the problem of three bodies

In this paper we investigate the range of variation of the orbital inclination I between two bodies in the problem of three bodies. We give the conditions to determine whether the two bodies move in the same or opposite senses and give the maximum and minimum values of I when the three bodies are in collinear positions. We prove that the range of variation of I must attain maximum and minimum values when the bodies are collinear.     

Statistical Test of the Correlation Between Earthquakes and Solid Tidal Waves: Implication to Hazard Prediction

The statistical correlation between earthquakes and the characteristics of solid Earth tide was investigated. Worldwide data on earthquakes (4018?M?≥?6.0) from January 1, 1973 to December 31, 2003 were analyzed. The distributions (D) of three relationships among earthquakes and solid tidal forces derived by composite force FI_i [D (FI_i)], azimuth A_i [D (A_i)], and elevation E_i [D (E_i)] from 1,200 waves were examined. These relationships indicate the probability of earthquakes. Twelve large-amplitude waves were investigated in detail to determine if earthquakes can be predicted. A test model P(t, λ, φ, d) consisting of three different wave groups was designed using these distributions. The values of tidal force, including the size and direction of tidal waves at any given time and place, were converted to test the probability of an earthquake. The converted values were then applied to trace and ascertain the great M?=?9.0 Northern Sumatra earthquake on December 26, 2004. Although the results selected from both the 12 maximum-amplitude waves or the 50 best correlation waves did not match well, the model can be significantly improved to produce only a day’s difference when all the 1,200 waves are employed. Therefore, further studies should be conducted to test if this method can be adopted in accurately predicting the occurrence of earthquakes, including time, relevant size, and location.     

Restricted four-body problem. The case of a central configuration: Libration points and their stability

We consider the problem of the motion of a zero-mass body in the vicinity of a system of three gravitating bodies forming a central configuration.We study the case where two gravitating bodies of equal mass lie on the same straight line and rotate around the central body with the same angular velocity. Equations for calculating the equilibrium positions in this system have been derived. The stability of the equilibrium points for a system of three gravitating bodies is investigated. We show that, as in the case of libration points for two bodies, the collinear points are unstable; for the triangular points, there exists a ratio of the mass of the central body to the masses of the extreme bodies, 11.720349, at which stability is observed.     

Periodic orbits in the gravity field of a fixed homogeneous cube

In the current study, the existence of periodic orbits around a fixed homogeneous cube is investigated, and the results have powerful implications for examining periodic orbits around non-spherical celestial bodies. In the two different types of symmetry planes of the fixed cube, periodic orbits are obtained using the method of the Poincaré surface of section. While in general positions, periodic orbits are found by the homotopy method. The results show that periodic orbits exist extensively in symmetry planes of the fixed cube, and also exist near asymmetry planes that contain the regular Hex cross section. The stability of these periodic orbits is determined on the basis of the eigenvalues of the monodromy matrix. This paper proves that the homotopy method is effective to find periodic orbits in the gravity field of the cube, which provides a new thought of searching for periodic orbits around non-spherical celestial bodies. The investigation of orbits around the cube could be considered as the first step of the complicated cases, and helps to understand the dynamics of orbits around bodies with complicated shapes. The work is an extension of the previous research work about the dynamics of orbits around some simple shaped bodies, including a straight segment, a circular ring, an annulus disk, and simple planar plates.     

Method of determining the orbits of the small bodies in the solar system based on an exhaustive search of orbital planes

A universal method of determining the orbits of newly discovered small bodies in the Solar System using their positional observations has been developed. The proposed method suggests determining geocentric distances of a small body by means of an exhaustive search for heliocentric orbital planes and subsequent determination of the distance between the observer and the points at which the chosen plane intersects with the vectors pointing to the object. Further, the remaining orbital elements are determined using the classical Gauss method after eliminating those heliocentric distances that have a fortiori low probabilities. The obtained sets of elements are used to determine the rms between the observed and calculated positions. The sets of elements with the least rms are considered to be most probable for newly discovered small bodies. Afterwards, these elements are improved using the differential method.
