分层伸展叠加变形二维离散元模拟

分层伸展叠加变形是裂陷盆地演化过程中普遍存在的一种复杂的构造地质现象,是裂陷盆地构造地质研究和油气成藏研究的热点。目前有关分层伸展叠加变形的研究仍处于几何学描述阶段,缺乏对其动力学演化过程的解析。本文采用构造地质研究领域中新兴的模拟方法——离散元,通过构建离散元模型模拟研究分层伸展叠加变形的断裂发育过程。结果表明:(1)上下两套伸展断裂系统之间是否存在韧性滑脱层(泥岩层或膏岩层)是分层叠加变形的主控物质因素;(2)中间韧性地层隔断了下部断层向上的继承性发育,从而形成上下两套断裂系统分层伸展,垂向上叠加的变形特征;(3)受韧性地层侧向牵引作用影响,上部断裂系统的横向展布明显扩大;(4)在相同岩性条件下,降低伸展速度会显著降低两侧断层发育的差异性,但不会改变垂向上分层伸展的变形特征。研究解析了分层伸展叠加变形的动力学演化过程,有助于进一步认识分层伸展叠加变形机制及其对油气运聚成藏的控制作用。     

煤岩构造变形与动力变质作用

煤岩是一种对温度、压力等地质环境因素十分敏感的有机岩,地质演化过程中的各种构造-热事件必然导致煤岩发生一系列物理与化学结构的变化,并形成不同类型的构造煤。在构造应力作用下,煤岩不仅发生脆性和韧性变形,而且还产生不同程度的动力变质作用。因而,关于煤岩构造变形与动力变质作用的研究不仅具有重要的科学意义,而且在煤层气资源评价以及煤与瓦斯突出危险性预测方面也具有重要的实际意义。文中在已有研究成果基础上,通过对构造煤系列Ro,max、XRD和NMR(CP/MAS+TOSS)等测试和实验方法的对比研究,深入分析了煤岩不同构造变形和动力变质特征,进一步探讨了构造应力下煤岩动力变质作用的机理。研究成果表明,在构造应力作用下,煤岩脆性变形主要是通过破裂面上快速机械摩擦转化为热能而引起煤岩化学结构与其成分的改变;而韧性变形煤主要是通过局部区域应变能的积累而引起煤岩化学结构的破坏,从而发生不同机制的动力变质作用。     

黔西北地区龙马溪组页岩有机质和脆性矿物的控缝机制

页岩"甜点"层段中有机质和脆性矿物对裂缝的发育具有极为重要的控制作用，揭示并把握裂缝萌生、发育和演化的机理与规律，对于压裂目标层段的优选以及页岩气增产和稳产具有极为重要的工程实践价值。以黔西北地区龙马溪组页岩为例，通过地化测试、岩石力学实验以及扫描电镜，深入剖析和揭示了"甜点"层段中与有机质和脆性矿物相关的控缝机制，并结合数值模拟实验展现了"甜点"层段中裂缝的形成和演化的完整过程。研究结果表明，有机质和脆性矿物的同步富集为裂缝的发育和演化提供了重要的物质基础，其中裂缝趋向于沿着有机质形成的结构面传播，有机质的孔隙结构对裂缝具有较为明显的诱导机制。在外力作用下，内在积累的能量转化为脆性矿物的变形和变位，脆性矿物含量越高者裂缝发育能力越强，裂缝发育程度越高。数值模拟实验呈现了一种由于有机孔隙和脆性矿物所导致的应力集中从而诱发裂缝萌生和演化的整个过程。该研究成果可为深化认识裂缝的成因机理以及压裂施工过程中相关压裂参数的调整提供一定的借鉴与参考。

隧道变形失稳过程与破坏判据研究是地下工程的热点与难点之一。运用协同学与混沌动力学,分析了隧道变形失稳过程的非线性动力学演化特征,并将其划分为平衡、非平衡线性、非平衡非线性等3个演化阶段;从系统分析的角度,研究了整个隧道系统的涨落关联机制,建立了隧道变形失稳的动力学演化模型。在此基础上,分别给出了大数据量（≥3 000）与小数据量（ 3 000）条件下稳定性演化过程的动力学判别准则。结合隧道变形失稳的阶段性特征,建立了其破坏的混沌动力学判据。将以上研究应用于广州地铁某立体交叉隧道的稳定性分析中,验证了该动力学演化模型与判据的合理可靠性,对隧道稳定性状态的判别具有一定指导意义。     

Deformation mechanisms in experimentally deformed plagioclase feldspars

Optical and transmission electron microscopy have been used to study the microstructures in a series of plagioclase feldspars which had been experimentally deformed in compression. The observations show that deformation takes place by three mechanisms: (1) brittle fracture, (2) twinning and (3) slip due to the generation and motion of dislocations. Optical “deformation lamellae” are shown to be due to bunches of microfractures and to walls of tangled dislocations. Twins and fractures are often intimately associated and dislocations are often generated at fracture steps or voids. Moving dislocations apparently always generate a strip of fault in the slip plane. This, together with structural considerations as well as the visibility of dislocations (under various diffracting conditions) and the orientation of the applied stress, has made it possible to determine the slip systems which have operated in the deformed specimens.     

沉积盆地动力学研究的新进展

沉积盆地动力学研究在９０年代向多维、多角度、多种研究手段相结合的方向迈进。多维体现在盆地研究延拓至岩石圈层次、上部脆性变形与下部韧性变形相结合，造山带研究与盆地研究相结合，流变学、应力状态等随时间变化影响盆地动力学演化研究方面；同时，构造时间非线性因素也制约着盆地动力学历程。多角度体现在对制约盆地演化的热、应力与重力因素的综合研究，对盆地形成的热作用研究进一步加强，对岩石圈应力的时空演化与岩石圈形变对盆地动力学的影响有了深刻的认识，对重力的成盆作用有了新的探讨。多种研究手段如数值模拟、构造物理模拟实验以及二者的结合等已用来研究沉积盆地动力学演化。     

不同煤体结构煤的孔隙-裂隙分形特征及其对渗透性的影响

煤的孔隙-裂隙结构特征是研究储层渗透性的关键问题。为了定量描述孔隙-裂隙结构的复杂程度,以黄陇侏罗纪煤田永陇矿区郭家河井田原生结构煤和碎裂结构煤为研究对象,基于压汞实验数据和扫描电镜（SEM）图像,采用Menger分形模型和计盒维数方法,分别计算不同煤体结构煤的孔隙-裂隙分形维数;同时采用不同孔径段的孔隙体积比作为权重值,计算得到孔隙综合分形维数,探讨孔隙-裂隙结构分形维数和渗透率之间的关系。研究结果表明,脆性构造变形作用对孔隙整体复杂性,裂隙孔、渗流孔复杂性以及微观裂隙复杂程度均具有积极改造作用,对吸附孔结构复杂性具有均一化作用;微观裂隙分形维数与渗透率具有较高非线性关系,脆性构造作用改造下形成的碎裂煤,其具有的孔隙-裂隙结构优势配比是决定储层高渗透性的关键。因此,建议优先考虑弱脆性变形的碎裂结构煤为主体的断层、向斜和背斜区域进行煤层气抽采。     

冀西北崇礼-赤城含金剪切带成矿机制

在印支末-燕山期，冀西北地区遭受了强烈的韧性剪切变形和复杂的碱交代作用，逐步演化出各种糜棱岩→碱交代杂岩以及东坪、黄土梁、小营盘等几十处石英脉-钾质蚀变岩型金矿床，构成独持的崇礼-赤城含金剪切带。绿岩地体的含金性、强烈的韧性剪切变形及其韧性-韧脆性-脆性演化过程是金矿形成的前提，而伴随剪切变形演化出现的多期次含金富碱热流体面型-裂隙型碱交代作用是金矿形成的关键。     

A multiple fracture model of pre-seismic electromagnetic phenomena

Among three main stages of the process of earthquake nucleation long-, middle- and short-term the final stage is characterized by abrupt activation of the process of stress-strain state variation. The strain rates increase by orders of magnitude throughout the whole region of preparation, which increases the signal-to-noise ratio, and therefore the fracture, is easier to detect through monitoring geophysical parameters. The near-critical stresses existing in the Earth's crust and near the surface make it necessary to take into account the real rheology of the rocks, which, as is well known, is characterized by clearly pronounced plastic properties. The condition is favorable for developing creep processes in general and in its avalanche phase immediately before the fracture. The process is completely nonlinear but not chaotic. Based on the assumption that the attenuation of the stress-strain field is proportional to r^− 3, a possible scenario of the final stage of earthquake nucleation process is proposed on the basis of the slip weakening mechanism in the source and the associated mosaic pattern of precursors on the Earth's surface. The formulas for estimating the ultimate distance of precursor detection and the duration of precursor events depending of normalized epicentral distance at the final stage of inelastic deformation preceding brittle failure of rocks are proposed. The data of electromagnetic precursors are interpreted in terms of a multiple fracture model. The results of in situ observations of electric field anomalies in the atmosphere are analyzed in relation to seismic activity. The possibility of constructing a physical model for the generation of a quasi-stable field and electromagnetic emission on the basis of the deformation process prior to an earthquake is discussed. Numerical estimates are obtained for polarization density and life time of an ensemble of electric dipoles generated in surface layers of the crust due to opening of microcracks and other dislocation mechanisms. The origin of quasi-constant electric field along a deformation region on a scale of the preparation zone is advantageous for the propagation of seismic anomalous atmospheric electric fields from the Earth's surface into the ionosphere. The field can be regarded as a physical agent of lithosphere–ionosphere connection.     

黄土拉伸试验及其破裂过程仿真分析

Q3黄土的单轴拉伸试验表明,黄土的抗拉强度值很小,在拉张应力作用下会发生突发性的脆性破坏,断裂面粗糙,且基本垂直于拉应力方向。借助数值分析软件RFPA,对黄土的整个拉张破裂过程进行了仿真分析,捕捉到了黄土在拉张应力作用下内部裂纹的扩展与演化过程。结果表明,黄土的拉张破裂过程可以分为两个阶段,即线性变形阶段和裂纹的形成、扩展与贯通阶段。黄土体内部裂纹的萌生、扩展及贯通会在很短时间内完成,即黄土在拉伸应力作用下的破坏是突发性的,属于脆性断裂。单轴拉伸试验结果与数值仿真分析结果具有较好的一致性。     

How pressure solution creep and fracturing processes interact in the upper crust to make it behave in both a brittle and viscous manner

The upper crust has been described as being dominated by brittle deformation along faults, or ductile where folds and cleavage have developed. These two mechanical behaviors are explained by two different mechanisms of deformation: (i) fracture; and (ii) fluid-enhanced deformation (e.g. pressure solution). These two mechanisms operate at two time scales: fast for brittle deformation, slow for pressure solution. Natural observations of relationships between pressure solution and fractures in sandstones, or indented pebbles, and experimental results of pressure solution with an indenter technique indicate that both mechanisms can interact: fracture development increases the kinetics of the pressure solution process, pressure solution relaxes the stress between fracturing events. A simple model of brittle–ductile deformation, applied to indented limestone pebbles, shows that cycles of slow deformation can alternate with short-time fracture.     

Inelastic displacement demand of RC buildings subjected to earthquakes generated by intermediate-depth Vrancea seismic source

Evaluating inelastic displacement demand of structures exposed to seismic hazard is required for the design of new buildings as well as for seismic risk assessment of existing structures. Most of the buildings are designed to withstand strong earthquakes by responding in the nonlinear range. Having special parts of the structure designed to develop a stable hysteretic behaviour allows the structure to deform in order to accommodate the displacement demand imposed by strong ground motions. This paper is centred on finding a correspondence between the maximum elastic and inelastic displacement responses of the single degree of freedom (SDOF) systems subjected to earthquakes generated by Vrancea seismic source. Vrancea intermediate-depth earthquakes are responsible for the seismic hazard throughout Romanian territory. They have distinctive features, such as large displacement demand and large predominant periods, which makes Romania a special seismic environment. Using a database of Romanian and Japanese strong ground motions generated by intermediate-depth earthquakes and performing nonlinear dynamic analysis on the SDOF oscillators following the Takeda model, this study estimates the inelastic to elastic displacement ratio of reinforced concrete systems. Soil conditions, epicentral distance and magnitude influence on inelastic response is analysed using constant ductility response spectra. The main findings of the study are: the local increase of the inelastic to elastic displacement ratio for type C soil (Eurocode 8 classification) for large magnitude earthquakes and the significant effect of soil conditions on the inelastic response of the SDOF systems. The inelastic amplification was evaluated using a functional form depending on system ductility, soil conditions and earthquake magnitude.

Time-dependent cracking and brittle creep in crustal rocks: A review

Rock fracture under upper crustal conditions is driven not only by applied stresses, but also by time-dependent, chemically activated subcritical cracking processes. These subcritical processes are of great importance for the understanding of the mechanical behaviour of rocks over geological timescales. A macroscopic manifestation of time-dependency in the brittle field is the observation that rocks can deform and fail at constant applied stresses, a phenomenon known as brittle creep. Here, we review the available experimental evidence for brittle creep in crustal rocks, and the various models developed to explain the observations. Laboratory experiments have shown that brittle creep occurs in all major rock types, and that creep strain rates are extremely sensitive to the environmental conditions: differential stress, confining pressure, temperature and pore fluid composition. Even small changes in any of these parameters produce order of magnitude changes in creep strain rates (and times-to-failure). Three main classes of brittle creep model have been proposed to explain these observations: phenomenological, statistical, and micromechanical. Statistical and micromechanical models explain qualitatively how the increasing influence of microcrack interactions and/or the increasing accumulated damage produces the observed evolution of macroscopic deformation during brittle creep. However, no current model can predict quantitatively all of the observed features of brittle creep. Experimental data are limited by the timescale over which experiments are realistically feasible. Clearly, an extension of the range of available laboratory data to lower strain rates, and the development of new modelling approaches are needed to further improve our current understanding of time-dependent brittle deformation in rocks.     

基底性质对断裂构造的影响: 以琼东南盆地为例

影响断裂凹陷内的断裂系统演化的原因包含多种因素,此次研究针对先存断裂及基底性质对断陷盆地的影响,通过 物理模拟实验方法探究裂谷盆地断裂发育的构造演化过程。根据对琼东南盆地的地震剖面图的解释分析,盆地东部和西部 的凹陷显示不同的凹陷构造形态,实验结果显示,先存断裂的位置和走向影响区域凹陷的演化和平面展布,在先存断裂影 响的区域演化形成地堑构造,在无先存断裂影响的区域则演化形成地垒构造;韧性基底的上覆地层拉伸演化为复式半地堑 构造,而刚性基底的上覆地层呈铲状半地堑构造,在不同基底性质影响下的构造变形模式和琼东南盆地东西部的差异构造 样式基本相符,一定程度上说明了基底性质的差异对琼东南盆地东部和西部凹陷在断裂组合形态差异方面具有影响作用, 为研究供给油气运移聚集成藏的断裂系统演化提供了思路。     

On the formation and growth of faults: an experimental study

By using an experimental geometry, which includes a slot loaded to produce a mode 3 shear stress concentration, shear fractures have been grown in two fine-grained rock types. The deformation is accomplished by initially generating an array of oblique, mainly tensile, cracks at the tip of the slot, which are subsequently linked to form a rupture zone. This suggests a more general model for the formation of brittle shear rupture. A through-going shear surface will form if a damage zone is concentrated enough in the appropriate orientation. This may occur at the edges of an existing shear strain discontinuity, such as a fault, particularly in a mode 3 displacement field. Thus under some conditions faults may grow or link up as true macroscopic shear ruptures. This may be part of a solution to the apparent paradox of the existence of long faults. We suggest features that would indicate this sequence of formation in the field and review some geological examples.

新疆萨尔托海石英菱镁岩中发育的韧性剪切带及其对金矿的控制

萨尔托海金矿产在达拉布特蛇绿混杂岩带中。本文首次在该金矿区厘定出韧性剪切带,糜棱岩或者糜棱岩化石英菱镁岩中构成糜棱面理的矿物(铬云母、石英)形成于韧性剪切变形过程中,而切割糜棱面理的方解石-石英-黄铜矿-白云母脉代表脆性变形阶段的流体活动。根据矿物组合相互切割关系,识别出三期构造变形:早期NE向韧性变形(形成铬云母-石英组合)之后,发生了应力方向显著不同的破裂,形成NNW向分布的方解石-石英-黄铜矿-白云母脉;再晚期,应力方向又恢复到NE向,发育了浅层次的脆性构造破坏,形成了白云母-石英细脉。韧性剪切变形向脆性变形转换期间形成了石英-碳酸盐脉,其中往往含硫化物和自然金,此阶段是萨尔托海金矿的主要成矿时期。韧性剪切带控制着萨尔托海地区的金矿分布,成矿作用主要受沿剪切带迁移流体的控制,穿切糜棱面理的方解石-石英-黄铜矿-白云母脉是主要的找矿标志。韧性剪切带对金矿的显著控制表明,韧脆性转换期间形成的含硫化物石英碳酸盐脉以及相伴生的热液蚀变使金富集成矿,矿体一般赋存在断裂构造复杂的膨胀部位。萨尔托海金矿的成因与蛇绿岩的形成和演化没有关系。对韧性剪切带的系统研究是在该地区取得找矿勘探突破的关键。     

Meshless numerical modeling of brittle–viscous deformation: first results on boudinage and hydrofracturing using a coupling of discrete element method (DEM) and smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH)

We have developed a new approach for the numerical modeling of deformation processes combining brittle fracture and viscous flow. The new approach is based on the combination of two meshless particle-based methods: the discrete element method (DEM) for the brittle part of the model and smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH) for the viscous part. Both methods are well established in their respective application domains. The two methods are coupled at the particle scale, with two different coupling mechanisms explored: one is where DEM particles act as virtual SPH particles and one where SPH particles are treated like DEM particles when interacting with other DEM particles. The suitability of the combined approach is demonstrated by applying it to two geological processes, boudinage, and hydrofracturing, which involve the coupled deformation of a brittle solid and a viscous fluid. Initial results for those applications show that the new approach has strong potential for the numerical modeling of coupled brittle–viscous deformation processes.     

基于分形维数的巷道围岩裂隙演化规律研究

为探究泥质巷道受水平应力及动力扰动影响下的围岩裂隙演化规律,以盘州市山脚树矿226轨道石门为工程背景,综合运用现场调研、数值模拟、分形理论分析等研究方法,对动力扰动下泥质巷道的变形破坏特征、围岩裂隙演化规律、围岩裂隙分形演化特征等问题展开研究。结果表明:动力扰动前,巷道裂隙区和塑性区扩展范围随侧压系数的增加而逐步增大,巷道发生较大变形;受扰动后,随侧压系数的增加,围岩裂隙密度逐步增大,浅部裂隙扩展贯通并逐步延展至深部,巷道裂隙区和塑性区呈现全面不规则扩展。在扰动影响下,巷道围岩裂隙的分形维数较扰动前表现出明显的升维现象,随着侧压系数的增加,裂隙网络更为复杂,浅部裂隙进一步向深部蔓延,使岩体破裂程度更大,导致巷道发生严重变形破坏。
