Glacial paleoceanography off the mouth of the Mekong River, southern South China Sea, during the last 500 ka

We have analyzed core MD01-2392, ∼ 360 km east of the Mekong River mouth in the South China Sea (SCS). Over the past 500 ka, planktonic foraminiferal oxygen-isotopic values are consistently lighter than northern SCS and open-ocean records by up to 0.5‰, indicating the influence of run-off from the Mekong River during both glacial and interglacial periods. Carbonate content is higher during interglacials; sedimentation rates were higher during glacials. Increased sedimentation rates since 30 ka imply increased run-off during the last glacial maximum and Holocene Period. Contrary to general experience, in which it is classed as a warm species for temperature estimates, the thermocline-dwelling species Pulleniatina obliquiloculata increased its numbers during glacial periods. This implies an estuarine circulation and even brackish-water caps during glacial periods, reinforcing the sense of strong run-off. In an overall decline of warm water, the thermocline shoaled stepwise, with rapid rises across the glacial terminations. We infer that the southern SCS was opened to an influx of Indian Ocean waters through southern passages at those times of rising sea levels.     

Experimental study of poromechanical behavior of saturated claystone under triaxial compression

This paper presents experimental results of drained and undrained triaxial compression tests of saturated Meuse–Haute/Marne claystone. The emphasis is to study the evolution of pore pressure with growth of microcracks and the effect of pore pressure on mechanical behavior. Basic mechanical responses are first investigated through drained triaxial compression tests, showing nonlinear stress strain relations, volumetric dilatancy and pressure sensitivity. In undrained triaxial compression tests, the pore pressure exhibits a transition from increase to decrease due to the transition from volumetric compressibility to dilatancy caused by the growth of microcracks. The failure surfaces, determined by total stress and Terzaghi’s effective stress under undrained condition, are compared with the one under drained condition.     

勉略缝合带三岔子辉绿岩墙锆石U-Pb年龄及Hf同位素组成——古特提斯洋壳俯冲的年代学证据

为了弄清楚勉略构造带中三岔子岛弧火山岩的形成时代及源区特征,对南秦岭勉略缝合带三岔子岛弧蛇绿混杂岩中的辉绿岩墙样品进行了锆石U—PB年代学、锆石Hf同位素组成及微量元素组成研究。结果表明,三岔子辉绿岩中的锆石主要包括2个年龄区间：有8颗锆石记录古生代年龄信息,其n（205Pb）／n（238u）年龄为264～487Ma,Ⅷ（Th）／w（U）为0．4～0．8,其中有6颗锆石的N（176Hf）／N（177Hf）初始值为0．281934～0．282292,埘应的EHf（f）值为9．4～-16．4,为典型的壳源岩浆锆石,另外2个测点（BQG-014,BQG-021）的N（176Hf）/N（177Hf）为0．282722～0．282798,对应的εHf（f）值为4．5～6．3,为典型的幔源岩浆锆石;有15颗锆石记录厂元古代-太古代的年龄信息,N（207Pb）/N（206Pb）年龄主要为1713～2559Ma,N（176Hf）／N（177Hf）初始值为0．281288～0．282263,对应的εHf（t）值为-1．3～8．7,绝大部分锆石的εHf（t）值大于2,显示出幔源岩浆锆行的特征。根据锆石Hf同位素组成,BQG-014和BQG-021样品为典型的幔源岩浆锆石,因此,其形成年龄（264～295Ma）应代表了勉略洋消减过程中一次重要的大陆弧岩浆作用时间。     

复杂应力路径下流体饱和砂岩本构模型

高孔隙率砂岩在不同围压及被不同流体（水及油）饱和时表现出不同的应力-应变特性及不同的破坏过程。复杂应力路径下油和水饱和砂岩的力学试验表明,存在某一临界围压,随着围压的增加,饱和砂岩从以压剪破坏为主,逐渐转变为以孔隙坍塌破坏为主的破坏机制。通过力学试验结果的分析,以两种破坏理论对油和水饱和砂岩的破坏特征进行了力学解释,并应用经典塑性力学的盖帽模型建立了相应的本构模型,应用非线性有限元法进行了数值验证,研究结果表明,提出的模型与试验资料吻合良好,能较好地模拟复杂应力路径下油和水饱和砂岩的破坏机制及模拟注水采油引起的砂岩附加沉降。     

Macroscopic criteria for Green type porous materials with spheroidal voids: application to double porous materials

Combined effects of matrix plastic compressibility and void shape are investigated for ductile porous materials. To this end, a spheroidal volume containing a confocal spheroidal (prolate or oblate) void subjected to uniform strain rate boundary conditions has been first studied. A Green type matrix is chosen as a prototype for investigating effects of plastic compressibility. This is carried out by using a kinematics limit analysis theory from which a closed‐form expression of the macroscopic criterion is established for the considered class of materials. These results are then extended to ductile porous materials made up of a green matrix containing randomly oriented spheroidal voids. In the framework of a two‐step homogenization procedure, the obtained results are implemented to describe the macroscopic behavior of double porous materials involving spherical voids at the microscale and randomly oriented and distributed spheroidal voids at the mesoscale. For validation purpose, the new derived criteria are assessed and validated by comparing their predictions to available upper bounds and numerical data from literature.

南极冰盖与中国风尘堆积

通过南极冰盖消长和风尘堆积物的气候事件对比,说明在4.3—2.5 Ma B.P,间南极冰盖增长和北极冰盖发展,中国第三纪风尘红壤土沉积可能是中国东部季风气候雏形形成的反映。2.6Ma以来,随着北极冰盖的迅速扩展,中国内陆进一步干旱化并促成黄土堆积。南极极锋带北移与黄土区极寒等事件的发生具有同步性,据此建立极寒事件的序列,可能反映大气环流强度变化情况。南极东方站冰岩芯气候曲线说明,黄土高原晚更新世以来的干冷期可能形成于0.115Ma B.P.。我国东部地区转暖大致发生在13000aB.P.,此后不久可能出现欧洲新仙女木寒冷事件。此外,大约在40000aB.P.可能有一寒冷事件。     

朝鲜安州煤矿岩岩膨胀特性试验研究

In this paper, the test results of mineral component and swelling behavior of the shale at An Zhou Coal Mine, D.P.R.Korea are introduced. The results showed that the shale has properties of high unit weight, low porosity and high content of hydrophilic clay mineral. With such properties, it will have large swell and high swelling force to the support of the project. Therefore it is considered that the effective measure to prevent unstable of the surrounding rock may be reducing disturbance and changes of water content. This paper is the first achievement in cooperation research between the colleagues of our institute and Institute of Rock Mechanics Academia Korea.
