实验样品波速测量的尺度效应和环境效应

本文用超声波地震模型实验方法,对引起有机玻璃样品P波速变化的尺度因素和环境因素进行了实验研究。结果表明,当样品厚度小于一个波长时,样品尺度和环境介质对样品P波速都有明显影响。当样品厚度由使用换能器的1/16个波长增加到3个波长时,P波速变化约16％。在低于样品P波速的液体中测量,样品的P波速增加,增加的幅度与液体的波速有关。文中还对纵波和拉伸波的转换现象作了初步探讨。     

砂岩和页岩弹性波性质的实验研究进展

砂岩和页岩的弹性波性质是通过地震资料推断储层物性和流体分布的基础.岩石波速测量常用超声波(10⁵～10⁶ Hz)脉冲法,低频岩石物理实验技术的发展为研究弹性波在岩石中的衰减和频散奠定了基础.本文系统总结了前人在高频和低频下测量砂岩和页岩弹性波性质的方法和实验结果,并结合矿物弹性性质和岩石物理模型,分析了压力、温度、矿物组成、孔隙结构、流体、频率等因素对岩石波速和衰减的影响.由于孔隙和微裂隙随压力增加而逐渐关闭,干燥砂岩和页岩的P波和S波速度在低压下随压力非线性增加,高于临界压力呈线性增加.干燥岩石样品的波速随温度增加而缓慢线性降低,频散效应可以忽略.而含流体砂岩和页岩的衰减和频散受温度、压力、流体饱和度、流体黏度、孔隙结构和频率等多种因素的影响,含流体砂岩和页岩的泊松比和逆品质因子Q^-1显著高于干燥样品.低压下砂岩的波速与孔隙度负相关,而影响页岩波速的因素更为复杂,页岩的波速、衰减和频散的各向异性都高于砂岩.将跨频段岩石物理实验与数字岩石物理技术相结合,可为勘探地球物理的方法创新和资料解释提供可靠依据.     

影响波速异常的两种因素

用超声脉冲法测量了完整岩石样品在三轴实验中不同加载途径下的波速,和拼合岩石样品在单轴实验中的波速。结果表明,应力途径和断层的存在是影响波速异常的两种可能因素。前者既与时间有关,又与空间有关;后者则只与空间有关。为了正确评价波速异常在地震预报中的作用,必须尽可能地阐明影响波速异常的各种因素。     

大功率压电换能器的设计

为了解决截渗墙等形体复杂的混凝土结构及岩体的质量检测问题,开展了声波相控震源初步研究工作.声波相控震源的设计和制作需要发射功率比较大,余震比较短的发射换能器.设计制作这类换能器除了选择电－声转换系数比较大的压电材料和几何尺寸外,还有一个重要因素就是换能器背衬的设计.将所测介质与换能器合在一起,本文用一维多层介质声波传播的物理模型进行研究,用所测介质位移的透射系数分析换能器背衬参数对换能器发射效率的影响.计算了背衬参数改变时位移透射系数随频率的变化曲线.在1kHz附近,背衬长度对透射系数影响比较大.以计算结果为指导,设计制作了四个大功率压电换能器,在黄河堤防截渗墙进行了实验,测量波形中有多个幅度比较明显的后续波,为进一步分析截渗墙特征提供了基础.     

地电阻率交流观测中的电感性耦合效应特征模拟和分析

地电阻率交流观测方法能够有效抑制测区杂散电流的干扰, 包括地铁、轻轨等城市轨道交通的干扰, 但是由供电线路与测量线路间磁场的相互作用所引起的电感性耦合效应会对观测结果产生一定的影响.为研究电感性耦合效应的特征, 本文建立了地电阻率交流观测的电感性耦合模型, 同时计算了供电线路与测量线路间的互感系数.在此基础上, 通过正演模拟分析供电信号频率、地电阻率值、供电线和测量线间距离以及平行长度等参数对电感性耦合效应的影响, 并将电感性耦合模型应用于台站实际观测数据的分析中, 验证模型的合理性.结果表明, 电感性耦合效应随供电信号频率、供电线与测量线平行长度的增大而增大, 随供电线与测量线间距离的增大而减小, 随地电阻率的变化存在峰值; 且模型预测的地电阻率值与台站实际观测值有较好的一致性.本文的研究结果为消除地电阻率交流观测值中的电感性耦合效应提供了理论依据和基本模型, 为地电阻率交流观测系统的设计和建设提供参考.

     

电感性耦合对地电阻率交流观测的影响

地电阻率交流观测方法中存在电感性耦合效应,会影响观测值的准确性。理论研究表明电感性耦合效应与供电信号频率、供电线与测量线间距离以及线路间平行走线的长度等条件相关。为了探讨理论研究与实际观测的一致性,在江苏省高邮地电台进行电感性耦合效应对地电阻率交流观测影响研究的实验,实验通过改变观测电极间的布线,分析上述条件对地电阻率交流观测结果的影响。实验结果表明,减小平行长度、增大线间距离、减小供电信号频率均能够减小电感性耦合效应,此结果与理论分析一致。当供电信号频率低于0.5 Hz时,平行长度与线间距离的变化对电感性耦合效应的影响较小,可忽略不计;当供电信号频率大于1 Hz时,为降低电感性耦合效应的影响,需要随供电信号频率增加,减小线间平行长度或增大线间距离。     

高压下岩石弹性波速度几种测量方法的比较实验研究

在高压高温条件下测量岩石弹性波速是获得岩石在地球内部的各种力学和热力学数据的主要途径, 也是研究地球内部物质结构和组成的重要手段. 近年来, 用固体作为传压介质的高压高温岩石弹性波速测量方法发展较快, 然而目前各个实验室在高温高压条件下所测量出的岩石弹性波数据, 还没有进行过严格的对比. 为了对比各实验室的实验测量结果, 对3种测量方法进行了比较实验研究, 并与流体传压介质透射法的测量结果进行了对比. 实验表明, 3种测量方法在其适用压力范围内的测量结果都能相互对比. 其中Kern所使用的六面体样品脉冲透射法适用于压力温度较低的地壳类岩石样品的测量. 柱状样品脉冲反射-透射法在适用压力范围、加热温度和测量精度方面均有一定优势. 柱状样品脉冲透射法虽然在压力较低时测量精度较低, 但样品长度大, 组装简便, 适用于样品量大, 要求压力较高的实验. 因此在实际应用中, 后两种方法可进行相互校正和相互补充.     

不同性质岩块构成的样品破裂前的波速变化

用超声脉冲法研究了不同性质岩块构成的样品破裂前的波速变化。样品为长方形大理岩板,中心镶嵌大理岩、辉长岩、花岗岩,砂岩圆块。实验表明,样品破裂时裂纹穿过低强度镶嵌岩块而绕过高强度镶嵌岩块。在第一种场合样品破裂前,镶嵌岩块內波速变化显著,在第二种场合样品破裂前镶嵌岩块內波速变化不大。穿过两种岩石界面的波速测量表明,波速下降的起始点提前到样品破坏应力的60%左右。样品破裂前波速总的变化趋势是下降,但不是单调下降而呈现起伏。这说明介质不均匀性会对岩石破裂前的波速变化规律产生不可忽视的影响。

On the synchronism in the events within the core and on the surface of the earth: the changes in the organic world and in the polarity of the geomagnetic field in the phanerozoic

The data on geomagnetic reversals are compared with the changes in the organic world and with the lower-mantle plumes. The times of the formation of plumes and the times of their appearance on the Earth’s surface relate to the intervals characterized by the different frequencies of geomagnetic reversals, i.e., there is no interrelation between the formation of plumes and the frequency of the changes in the geomagnetic field polarity. At the same time, a certain synchronism is observed between the frequency of the geomagnetic reversals and the boundaries of the biostratigraphic ages, i.e., the changes in the organic world in the long-period range. A hypothesis is proposed, which explains the change in the sign of the geomagnetic field by the combined effect of the irregular rotation of the internal core relative to the mantle and the changes in the slope angle of the axis of the Earth’s rotation, which, in turn, results in synchronous events on the Earth’s surface: the rates of changes in the organic world.     

On the gravimetric undulations of the geoid and the deflections of the vertical

Summary The author mentions the aims of the World-wide gravity project he established in the Ohio State University in Columbus, in 1950. He outlines the practical procedure of the gravimetric computations of the undulationsN and the vertical deflection components and and emphasizes that only by the global international cooperation and additional gravity observations at sea carried out during the last decade it has been possible to gather to Columbus the needed gravity material. Since there exist still large gravimetrically unsurveyed areas it is of vital significance to study what gravity anomalies are best to be used for these regions. The given figures concerning the accuracy of theN, and , estimated theoretically and obtained in practice, indicate that in the gravimetrically well surveyed parts of the world like in Europe and the United States we can get gravimetrically on basis of existing gravity material theN-values with accuracy of about 5–10 meters, and and with the accuracy of about 1. The geoid undulationsN are already computed in Columbus for more than 6000 points of the northern hemisphere. The sample maps show the interesting geoid of Europe and vicinity between the latitudes 60° and 30° and longitude 5° W and 30° E, drafted on basis of more than 1000N-values computed at the corners of 1°×1° squares. It is interesting to realize that the geoid undulations in all this area are positive, the extreme values being between 40 and 50 meters. The geophysical significance of the geoid maps of this kind is pointed out.     

On the maintenance of the axisymmetric part of the flow in the atmosphere

Summary The maintenance of the axisymmetric component of the flow in the atmosphere is investigated by means of a steady-state, quasi-geostrophic formulation of the meteorological equations. It is shown that the meridional variations in the time-averaged axisymmetric variables can be expressed as the sum of three contributions, one being due to the eddy heat transport, another to the eddy momentum transport, and a third to the convective-radiative equilibrium temperature which enters the problem through the specification of a Newtonian form of diabatic heating. The contributions by the large scale eddies are evaluated through the use of observed values for the eddy heat and momentum transports.The contributions from each of the three forcing mechanisms to the temperature and zonal wind fields are invstigated individually and found to be of about equal importance. The sum of the three contributions are also presented for the temperature, the zonal wind, the stream function associated with the mean meridional circulation and the corresponding vertical motion. Although the results fail to reproduce the main observed features of the lower stratosphere, they are found to be in good agreement with observations in the middle latitude troposphere. At any pressure level, for example, the computed mean zonal wind has a jet-like profile and the axis of the jet is found to slope to the south with height, as observed in the atmosphere.Based in part on a thesis submitted by the first author as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Ph.D. degree at the University of Michigan. — Publication No. 194 from the Department of Meteorology and Oceanography, The University of Michigan.

Comparison Between the Nutations of the Planet Mars and the Nutations of the Earth

The nutations of the planets Mars andEarth are investigated and compared. Alarge number of interior structureparameters are involved in the nutationcomputations. The comparison between the observations and the computationsprovides several constraints on these parmeters andtherefore allows a better understanding of the physics of the interior of theplanet. For the Earth, the high precision of the observations of the nutationshas led to a very good determination of interior properties of the planet. ForMars, observations of nutations are not yet available, and we review how theamplitude of the Martian nutations depends on the hypotheses consideredfor its interior. Although Mars is very similar to the Earth, its interior is not well known;for example, we don't knowif its core is liquid or solid. Only if the core is liquid,the Free Core Nutation (FCN) normal mode exists and can alter the nutationswhich are close to the resonance. From the observed geoids, it is known thatboth planets are not in hydrostatic equilibrium. The departure is larger forMars than for the Earth, and consequently, the implication of considering a convective mantle instead of a mantle in hydrostatic equilibrium described byClairaut's equation for the initial equilibrium state of the planet is largeron the Martian nutations than on the Earth nutations. The consequences of theuncertainty in the core dimensions are also examined and shown to be of a veryhigh influence for Mars if the core is liquid, due to the potential changes inthe FCN resonance. The influence of the presence of an inner core, which isknown to exist for the Earth, could be more important for Mars than for theEarth if the inner core is large. Due to the presence of Tharsis on Mars, thetriaxiality of this planet has, additionally, larger effects than on Earth.     

Magnetic stratigraphy of the Ordovician in the lower reach of the Kotuy River: the age of the Bysy-Yuryakh stratum and the rate of geomagnetic reversals on the eve of the superchron

Until recently, the existing data prevented the geophysicists from accurately dating the Bysy-Yuryakh stratum, which outcrops in the middle reach of the Kotuy River, constraining the time of its formation to a wide interval from the end of the Late Cambrian to the beginning of the Silurian. The obtained paleomagnetic data unambiguously correlate the Bysy-Yuryakh stratum to the Nyaian regional stage and constrain its formation, at least a considerable part of it, by the Tremadocian. This result perfectly agrees with the data on the Bysy-Yuryakh conodonts studied in this work and yields a spectacular example of the successful application of paleomagnetic studies in solving important tasks of stratigraphy and, correspondingly, petroleum geology. Within the Bysy-Yuryakh stratum, we revealed a large normal-polarity interval corresponding to the long (>1 Ma) period when the geomagnetic reversals were absent. This result, in combination with the data for the Tremadocian and Middle–Upper Cambrian sequences of the other regions, indicates that (1) the rate of occurrence of the geomagnetic reversals on the eve of the Ordovician Moyero superchron of reversed polarity was at most one reversal per Ma; (2) the superchron does not switch on instantaneously but is preceded by a certain gradual change in the operation conditions of the dynamo mechanism which, inter alia, manifests itself by the reduction of the frequency of geomagnetic reversals with the approach of the superchron. This finding supports the views according to which a process preparing the establishment of the superchrons takes place at the core–mantle boundary.     

On the variation in the geomagnetic dipole over the geological history of the Earth

The global database on the paleointensity, containing determinations of the virtual dipole moment (VDM) for a stable (normal) regime of the geomagnetic field in a time interval of up to 3.5 Ga, is supplemented by new VDM determinations and analyzed. The field generation process started no later than 3–3.5 Ga (earlier data are absent) at the stage of the Earth’s core formation. Since that time, the dipole value has differed from its present value by no more than an order of magnitude, and the deviations that have already been detected tend toward smaller values. The distribution of VDM values in the time interval 0–400 Ma is bimodal, which apparently reflects the presence of two different generation levels of the geomagnetic field distinguished by a relatively large value (close to the present field value) and a relatively small value (approximately half as large as the present value). The total duration of decreased VDM values appreciably exceeds that of increased VDM values (179.1 and 28.6 Myr, respectively). On the whole, data on the paleointensity do not contradict the hypothesis about the dipole nature of the field over the last 400 Myr; however, the number of determinations at high paleolatitudes is too small to draw decisive conclusions on the validity (or invalidity) of the dipole field approximation based solely on paleointensity data.     

Structure of the poleward wall of the trough and the inclination of the geomagnetic field above the EISCAT radar

A special high-resolution routine of the EISCAT radar has been used to investigate the structure and development of the poleward wall of a deep trough in electron density. The feature was tracked by the radar during a 7-hour period under very quiet geomagnetic conditions. The field-aligned nature of the structure enabled an estimate to be made of the inclination of the geomagnetic field above EISCAT that was in good agreement with the current model. Observations of narrow field-aligned enhancements in electron temperature demonstrated that the wall of this trough is a dynamic feature, reforming regularly as the electron density responds on a time scale of tens of minutes to energy input from soft-particle precipitation.
