Discontinuous deformation analysis based on the multiplicative decomposition of the displacement

Updating the block configuration on the basis of additive decomposition and its linearized expression of the displacement increment leads to the low calculation accuracy of the original discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA) and false volume expansion. In this study, the displacement expressions of a small deformation, a large rotation, and the corresponding velocity and acceleration terms on the basis of the initial configuration are presented using multiplicative decomposition. With the use of the principle of virtual work, the stiffness matrix, mass matrix, and force vector of blocks are obtained. Compared with the original DDA, each of the block deformation parameters has obvious physical meaning as a parameter of mechanics, which can be obtained by adding the incremental deformation components of each time step directly without co-ordinate transformation. Moreover, the proposed modification automatically considers the block deformation produced by centrifugal and Coriolis forces. The analysis of some typical numerical examples have verified the accuracy of the strain and stress calculated by the proposed method, and the current configuration is updated by the total displacements, which completely overcomes the false volume expansion and provides reasonable linear strains.     

Application of entropy analysis of in situ droplet-size spectra in evaluation of oil chemical dispersion efficacy

In situ droplet-size distributions were measured using a laser in situ scattering and transmissiometry (LISST-100X) particle size analyzer during the evaluation of natural and chemical dispersion efficiency of crude oils under different wave and current conditions. An entropy grouping of the in situ dispersed oil droplet-size spectra has classified the multi-modal droplet-size distributions into different groups based on similar droplet-size spectra characteristics within groups and distinction between groups. A generalized linear logistic regression model was fitted to analyze the effects of a number of factors and their interactions on the grouping of oil droplet-size spectra. The grouped results corresponded to the oil dispersion efficiency at different levels. This new method for droplet-size distribution data analysis can have significant implication in field evaluation of natural and chemical dispersion efficiency of oil.     

Preface to the special issue on seismic array analysis and CEArray

A seismic array is a set of seismographs being arranged in a regular geometric pattern to improve signalto-noise ratio (SNR).Seismic arrays at various length scales have been introduced since early 1960s and have been proved to be superior to single three-component stations for detecting and characterizing signals from earthquakes and explosions.

Characteristics of wind-blown sand and dynamic environment in the section of Wudaoliang-Tuotuo River along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway

Based on the detailed wind data and in situ observation of wind-blown sand in the section of Wudaoliang-Tuotuo River along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, the dynamic environment of sand flow, involving sand-laden wind, drift potential, sand transport and their time variation were investigated. The prevailing direction of sand-laden wind obviously varies seasonally. Sand-laden wind presents unidirectional characteristics from winter to the next spring and its prevailing direction is westerly. In summer, northeasterly wind begins to increase and lasts for a short period. The annual drift potential along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway reaches 970.54 Vector Units (VU), which belongs to a high-energy wind environment. Directional variability of wind regime (RDP/DP, RDP is the resultant drift potential (RDP) and DP is drift potential) is 0.88. The RDP is 854.31VU in the direction of 89.7°, which indicates that westerly sand-laden wind prevails in this region. Sand transport is well correlated to the frequency of sand-laden wind and increases with drift potential logarithmically.     

Analytic solution of long wave propagation over a submerged hump

A new analytical solution of the long wave refraction by a submerged circular hump is presented. The geometry of the hump is assumed to be axisymmetric and be described by a power function in the radial direction with arbitrary values of both the exponent and the scaling factor. The submergence of the hump is also variable. The water surface elevation governed by the long wave version of the mild slope wave equation is solved by separation of variables, and a series solution of the Frobenius type is obtained. The solution is shown to be valid when the hump is sufficiently submerged or is of a relatively small height. Matching method is employed to illustrate the refraction of long waves under given conditions of incidence. Effects of the shape, the scale, and the submergence of the hump on wave refraction are discussed.
