Three-dimensional admittance analysis of lithospheric elastic thickness over the Louisville Ridge

Using bathymetry and altimetric gravity anomalies, a 1° 9 1° lithospheric effective elastic thickness(Te) model over the Louisville Ridge and its adjacent regions is calculated using the moving window admittance technique. For comparison, three bathymetry models are used: general bathymetric charts of the oceans, SIO V15.1,and BAT_VGG. The results show that BAT_VGG is more suitable for calculating T e than the other two models. T e along the Louisville Ridge was re-evaluated. The southeast of the ridge has a medium Te of 10–20 km, while Te increases dramatically seaward of the Tonga-Kermadec trench as a result of the collision of the Pacific and IndoAustralian plates.

基于等效源的总强度磁异常非线性处理方法

总强度磁异常（ΔT₁）常规处理方法通常将其近似当作磁异常矢量在地磁正常场方向上的投影（ΔT₂）.然而对于高磁环境如磁铁矿处的磁异常场幅值可达10⁴ nT甚至更大的情况,上述近似假设则不再成立,如采用常规处理方法可能会带来明显的误差.本文针对该问题,提出一种基于等效源的总强度磁异常非线性处理方法;该方法根据总强度磁异常获取流程,直接反演实测地磁场总强度幅值与正常场强度幅值之差来求取等效场源.本文首先通过模型试验,分析ΔT₁与ΔT₂的差异;然后将ΔT₁当作ΔT₂采用常规处理方法以及ΔT₁采用新方法得到的结果作对比分析,结果表明新方法处理结果与理论值的差异为常规方法处理结果的1/5甚至更小,充分说明了新方法的有效性;最后将该方法应用于铁矿实测总强度磁异常处理实例中来转换计算磁异常总模量,其实际应用效果进一步体现了高幅值总强度磁异常数据处理过程中采用新方法的必要性.

     

DEM simulations of sandstone under true triaxial compressive tests

Numerically simulated true triaxial compression tests (σ ₁ ≥ σ ₂ ≥ σ ₃) are conducted in this study to elucidate the failure mechanism of sandstone using 3D discrete element method (DEM), in particular the effect of the intermediate principal stress (σ ₂). Eight series of tests (σ ₃ = 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 70, and 100 MPa) are conducted. Within each series, σ ₂ is varied from σ ₂ = σ ₃ to σ ₂ = σ ₁ from test to test. For each test, σ ₁ is raised monotonically to failure while keeping σ ₂ and σ ₃ constant. The DEM simulations reveal the effect of σ ₂ on the variations of peak stress, Young’s modulus, failure plane angles, the brittle–ductile transition, and the evolution of failure modes, the effect beyond the well-understood effect of σ ₃. The simulation is in qualitative agreement with the results obtained experimentally. Detailed analyses performed on the particle-scale responses further the understanding of the microscopic mechanisms. The distribution of contact force becomes more homogeneous with the increase of σ ₃, which leads to the resulting damage being more localized rather than diffused. The interaction between contact force distribution and coalescence of cracks determines the processes and patterns of fracturing in the sample scale. σ ₂ is found to affect the microscopic stress distribution as well as structure evolution, and this effect weakens with the increase of σ ₃.     

Non-point source pollution estimation in the Pingqiao River Basin,China, using a spatial hydrograph-separation approach

For efficient and targeted management, this study demonstrates a recently developed non-point source (NPS) pollution model for a year-long estimation in the Pingqiao River Basin (22.3 km²) in China. This simple but physically reasonable model estimates NPS export in terms of land use by reflecting spatial hydrological features and source runoff measurements under different land-use types. The NPS export was separately analysed by a distributed hydrological model, a spatial hydrograph-separation technique, and an empirical water quality sub-model. Simulation results suggest that 57 890 kg of total nitrogen (TN) and 1148 kg of total phosphorus (TP) were delivered. The results, validated with observed stream concentrations, show relative errors of 23.3% for TN and 47.4% for TP. Countermeasures for urban areas (5.3% of total area) were prioritized because of the high contribution rate to TN (14.1%) and TP (26.2%) which is caused by the high degree of runoff (8.5%) and pollution source.

A Preliminary Interpretation of Near-field Observation Data of the Zhangbei Earthquake

In this paper, a preliminary data processing was made for tbe aftershock records or theZhangbei M6.2 earthquake on Jan. 10, 1998. The hypocenters of 205 earthquakes with M_L≥0.5 were located. The result shows that most aftershockS were concentrated in a more than10 km long and 5～8 km wide NE-trending beIt. The source mechanism solutions of largeraftersbocks were also calculated, from which it can be inferred that the faulted zone of themain shock is an NE-trending fault. Furthermore, the spectral analysis of P waves was made.The corner frequency is about 10 Hz.     

宏观地震忽略吸收确定震源深度问题的通解及其精确度

分析G-R-闵公式后得出,它是从点源幅射场导出的,与地震宏观场不相应。因在近场震源不能视作点源。在分析过程中,导出相当于点源、线源或面源以及复杂源的幅射场的深度公式。对实际的地震,它的源类型一无所知,所以不预作假定,将源指标几何扩散率n作为待定参数,导出了一个物理意义明确而又普遍化的震源深度公式。此公式的诸解法中,以计算方法准确、精度高,作图法有直观的优点,但准确性差、精度低,图算法只作获取粗略值和考察数据均匀性用。计算了9个8级以上巨震、1个71/2大震,和两个M_L=3的有感地震的震源深度,经对比结果很好,利用计算得出震源类型,结合宏观场研究了这些地震的震源几何学。并且首次在国际上给出宏观地震震源深度值的标准误差。     

不同减隔震措施下平板支座抗震性能试验研究

为探究不同减隔震措施对短边距混凝土网架平板支座的抗震性能和破坏模式的影响,分别针对不同混凝土边缘距离以及采用不同减隔震措施的四个平板支座缩尺试件进行拟静力加载试验,对平板支座破坏模式、滞回曲线、箍筋应变进行分析。试验结果表明:平板支座的运动伴随着平动和转动。当混凝土边距不足时,边缘混凝土在压剪作用下,会发生冲切破坏。开长孔支座能较好的释放水平位移,并且对锚栓约束较弱,使其受力较小,从而减轻了边缘混凝土的受力。对采用橡胶垫板的支座,混凝土边缘未发生破坏,原因是橡胶垫具有良好的变形能力,可以释放支座的位移和转角,使得边缘混凝土受力较小。因此,针对混凝土边缘距离较短的平板支座节点,为防止混凝土发生边缘破坏,可采用开长孔支座,但需要对孔长进行合理的设计。采用橡胶垫支座也可避免混凝土发生边缘破坏,橡胶垫板可按照我国相关设计规范进行设计。
