足尺磁流变阻尼器的建模及动态特性

在过去三十年左右的时间里,结构保护系统受到了广大研究者的普遍关注.这种保护系统可以用来降低自然灾害(如地震、强风)对上木工程建筑的损害.由于磁流变阻尼器机械结构简单,动态范围大,能耗低,回复力大,鲁棒性良好,能够在满足不同工程项目需求的同时提供有效的结构抗震抗风手段,目前它是一种非常有前途的半主动结构减震装置.本文首先介绍了磁流变液体和装置的主要特性和优点,建立了磁流变阻尼器的伪静力轴对称模型,并将其结果和平行板模型以及阻尼器实验结果进行了比较.尽管伪静力模型对于阻尼器的设计十分有效,但是它们还不足以描述阻尼器的动态特性.对实际工程应用来说,动态响应时间是一项非常重要的性能指标.文章还讨论了影响磁流变阻尼器动态响应时间的因素,建立了基于Bouc-Wen模型的阻尼器动态模型.同时文章也提出了优化阻尼器动态响应的途径和方法以及其实验验证.     

云南水汞在连发地震前短临异常及震后变化特征

通过对1995年5月6日—1996年2月3日发生在云南境内及其中缅边境一带的4组5次M≥6．0级强震的研究,发现水汞在强震连发期都出现短临异常及震后变化;与2001年云南省内6组7次5．0—5．9级中强地震短临异常及震后变化进行比较,结果表明强震连发期水汞的短临异常特征表现为异常台站多、异常幅度大、异常范围广和多台站水汞在异常中发震。中强震连发期水汞的短临异常特征与此相反。表现为异常台站少、异常幅度小、异常范围小和多台站水汞在异常结束后发震。     

Seismic analysis of diagrid structural frames with shear-link fuse devices

This paper presents a new concept for enhancing the seismic ductility and damping capacity of diagrid structural frames by using shear-link fuse devices and its seismic performance is assessed through nonlinear static and dynamic analysis.The architectural elegancy of the diagrid structure attributed to its triangular leaning member configuration and high structural redundancy make this system a desirable choice for tall building design.However,forming a stable energy dissipation mechanism in diagrid framing remains to be investigated to expand its use in regions with high seismicity.To address this issue,a diagrid framing design is proposed here which provides a competitive design option in highly seismic regions through its increased ductility and improved energy dissipation capacity provided by replaceable shear links interconnecting the diagonal members at their ends.The structural characteristics and seismic behavior(capacity,stiffness,energy dissipation,ductility) of the diagrid structural frame are demonstrated with a 21-story building diagrid frame subjected to nonlinear static and dynamic analysis.The findings from the nonlinear time history analysis verify that satisfactory seismic performance can be achieved by the proposed diagrid frame subjected to design basis earthquakes in California.In particular,one appealing feature of the proposed diagrid building is its reduced residual displacement after strong earthquakes.     

IMPLICIT NONLINEAR NORMAL MODE INITIALIZATION:A MULTIGRID APPROACH

The implicit nonlinear normal mode initialization (INMI) is applied to a tropical limited area shallow water modelin spherical coordinates.The boundary condition for the INMI scheme is based on the boundary formulation of themodel.The INMI scheme is found to be very efficient in suppressing spurious gravity wave oscillation and providing awell balanced initial data set for the model.The INMI scheme involves solving a number of elliptic type equations withvarying complexity.and hence an efficient numerical technique is required for solving such equations.In order to makeINMI computationally more attractive,we are employing the multigrid method for solving all the elliptic type equationsin the INMI scheme.The numerical procedures for the development of such multigrid solvers are briefly described.     

The IUGS/IAGC Task Group on Global Geochemical Baselines

The Task Group on Global Geochemical Baselines,operating under the auspices of both the International Union of Geological Sciences(IUGS) and the International Association of Geochemistry(IAGC),has the long-term goal of establishing a global geochemical database to document the concentration and distribution of chemical elements in the Earth's surface or near-surface environment.The database and accompanying element distribution maps represent a geochemical baseline against which future human-induced or natural changes to the chemistry of the land surface may be recognized and quantified.In order to accomplish this long-term goal,the activities of the Task Group include:(1) developing partnerships with countries conducting broad-scale geochemical mapping studies;(2) providing consultation and training in the form of workshops and short courses;(3) organizing periodic international symposia to foster communication among the geochemical mapping community;(4) developing criteria for certifying those projects whose data are acceptable in a global geochemical database;(5) acting as a repository for data collected by those projects meeting the criteria for standardization;(6) preparing complete metadata for the certified projects;and(7) preparing,ultimately,a global geochemical database.This paper summarizes the history and accomplishments of the Task Group since its first predecessor project was established in 1988.     

EVIDENCE OF NEOTECTONIC IMPACT ON A LARGE SEDIMENTARY BASIN BETWEEN TIBETAN PLATEAU AND GOBI ALTAY,NW CHINA

The Ejina(Gaxun Nur)Basin­enclosed by the Tibetan Plateau in the south and the Gobi Altay in the north has continuously evolved as a strong continental endorheic depositional environment. Medium scale geomorphological mapping by Landsat­ and Corona­Images as well as SRTM­topographic data,combined with field­surveys and geophysical investigation provides evidence for tectonic impact on sedimentary processes during the Late Quaternary.
Analyses of SRTM­Data and Landsat­Images reveal a system of up to 20m high inverted channels developed on the inactive eastern part of the large Hei river drainage delta south of the ancient lake Juyanze. The complex evolution of these landforms requires a relative lowering of the lake basin at least two times since the last 40ka. A 26m high cliff section of gravel­covered lake sediments within the Juyanze paleolake indicates a strong subsidence of the lake bottom of 10m/1000yrs since 18kaB.P.
North of Ejina river oasis a distinct north­south striking scarp up to 13m high constitutes the eastern margin of the Gaxun Nur. Palaeodrainage channels derived from the Gobi Altay. They display a sinistral offset of some decametres along a set of WE­trending faults. The rhombic shape of the modern dry Gaxun Nur,fossil cliffs,well preserved beach ridges along the margins of the palaeolake system as well as gravel covered topsets of lacustrine sediments indicate local displacements of morphological features. The displacements of lake sediments at the southern margin of the modern Gaxun Nur Basin imply a subsidence of at least 0.81m/1000 yrs since 25kaB.P.as a result of a pull­apart development due to the left stepping faults in a sinistral system.

台湾地区的三维P波和S波速度结构:岛弧-大陆碰撞带的深部结构

台湾岛是欧亚大陆架和属菲律宾海板块的吕宋岛弧向北延伸形成的弧形列岛间少有的活动碰撞产物。为了更好地认识这个碰撞的演化和近代构造,我们从台湾遥测地震台网记录的50000个原始记录中挑选了1260个好的地震记录,用于决定该岛下的一维和三维P与S波速度结构。速度结构和地震再定位的结果指出,该岛在构造上分为三个不同的地带。在东部,菲律宾海板块正俯冲于欧亚板块的东部,其北西向边界由地震活动和高速度区圈定。在南部,欧亚大陆板块正俯冲于菲律宾海板块,在大约23°N的东西向边界的南端,它可由壳下地震活动性和相当低的速度区很好地圈定。消减大陆的倾角很小,在吕宋岛弧东边,距主要岛屿50 km内都是这样。在该岛23°N以北的主要部分的结构指出,中央山脉的西部25 km的深度以上有一低速度缓倾带,而在那个深度以下,至少到50 km,呈现窄而陡的倾斜。由窄地震活动带勾画出该低速区的倾向,并延伸到100 km。这个地震带处于速度的鞍部,在24°N的中部低速区呈现明显的断错。因而,欧亚大陆消减带在台湾的证据在该岛下处处存在,地幔低速区证实,但未必需要,在大陆下地壳约6—16 km的消减带至少已达50 km的深度。在23°N速度结构和地震活动性的明显变化及在24°N低速范围的水平断错表明,在通过这些纬度时,消减带特性有突然变化。这些变化可以是吕宋岛弧和消减大陆架相互作用引起,它类似于表面的相互影响。最后,消减的菲律宾海板块的速度结构指出,在70 km深度以下,地震不在板块的高速区内发生,但有可能处于板块的上缘附近。地震位置和速度结构也指出,消减板块是分段的,而且消减作用当今正在22°N的南部发生。
