Intelligent seismic isolation system using air bearings and earthquake early warning

Recently strong seismic waves or long period seismic waves have been observed in various earthquakes that occurred in Japan. As a result improvements of existing seismic isolation systems are deemed necessary. The present study proposed an intelligent seismic isolation system encompassing air bearings and earthquake early warning (EEW) system. Such system exhibits adequate isolation performance. The air bearings are isolation device that may render infinite the superstructure natural period by floating them, and the EEW is applied for a trigger of isolation. This paper illustrates the proposed system and discusses the experimental results of a test carried out with the system. Laboratory tests carried out in the present research demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed base isolated systems and prove its efficacy in mitigating the effects of three-dimensional seismic waves. For example, the system suppressed the horizontal response acceleration of an isolation target to 38% of input acceleration.

Seafloor electromagnetic induction studies in the Bay of Bengal

Seafloor magnetometer array experiments were conducted in the Bay of Bengal to delineate the subsurface conductivity structure in the close vicinity of the 85°E Ridge and Ninety East Ridge (NER), and also to study the upper mantle conductivity structure of the Bay of Bengal. The seafloor experiments were conducted in three phases. Array 1991 consisted of five seafloor stations across the 85°E Ridge along 14°N latitude with a land reference station at Selam (SLM). Array 1992 also consisted of five seafloor stations across 85°E Ridge along 12°N latitude. Here we used the data from Annamalainagar Magnetic Obervatory (ANN) as land reference data. Array 1995 consisted of four seafloor stations across the NER along 9°N latitude with land reference station at Tirunelveli (TIR). OBM-S4 magnetometers were used for seafloor measurements. The geomagnetic Depth Sounding (GDS) method was used to investigate the subsurface lateral conductivity contrasts. The vertical gradient sounding (VGS) method was used to deliniate the depth-resistivity structure of the oceanic crust and upper mantle. 1-D inversion of the VGS responses were conducted and obtained a 3-layer depth-resistivity model. The top layer has a resistivity of 150–500 m and a thickness of about 15–50 km. The second layer is highly resistive (2000–9000 m) followed by a very low resistive (0.1–50 m) layer at a depth of about 250–450 km. The 3-component magnetic field variations and the observed induction arrows indicated that the electromagnetic induction process in the Bay of Bengal is complex. We made an attempt to solve this problem numerically and followed two approaches, namely (1) thin-sheet modelling and (2) 3-D forward modelling. These model calculations jointly show that the observed induction arrows could be explained in terms of shallow subsurface features such as deep-sea fans of Bay of Bengal, the resistive 85°E Ridge and the sea water column above the seafloor stations. VGS and 3-D forward model responses agree fairly well and provided depth-resistivity profile as a resistive oceanic crust and upper mantle underlained by a very low resistive zone at a depth of about 250–400 km. This depth-range to the low resistive zone coincide with the seismic low velocity zone of the northeastern Indian Ocean derived from the seismic tomography. Thus we propose an electrical conductivity structure for the oceanic crust and upper mantle of the Bay of Bengal.     

扰动动能与平均动能转换率及其角动量涡旋输送与新疆暴风雪过程的关系

用1995年5月至1999年4月KWBC北半球500 hPa高度场5°×5°客观分析资料,应用谐波分析把等压面高度场沿纬圈作富利叶级数展开,计算逐日25°~80°N每隔5°纬度递增的沿纬圈的扰动动能与平均动能转换率(E)、角动量涡旋输送(RM),分析了E和RM的年、季分布特征及其与新疆暴风雪过程的关系.结果表明:E和RM具有显著的季节变化和周期性;E的正高值中心与新疆暴风雪过程有较好的关系,出现E正高值中心的日期作为预报指标日,其后3~6 d新疆将出现暴风雪天气过程,出现RM负低值中心的日期作为预报指标日,其后3~8 d新疆有暴风雪过程发生;当E的正高值中心和RM的负值中心同时出现时,更确定了新疆暴风雪过程出现的可能性.

Sediment and trace element depositional history from the Ajkwa River estuarine mangroves of Irian Jaya (West Papua), Indonesia

Radiotracer ²¹⁰Pb and contaminant copper were used to estimate sediment accumulation rates in 4 cores from the Ajkwa River estuary and mangrove tidal channels in western Irian Jaya. Mass accumulation rates (4.5–13 kg dry wt m⁻² yr⁻¹) were within the envelope of expectations for a region of high rainfall, great river catchment relief, and rapid tectonic uplift of mountains. Copper accumulation rates were enhanced 40 fold in surface sediments, compared to pre-1950 sections of the sediment cores. These recent sediments with enhanced copper concentrations come from Freeport Indonesia mine tailings over the last 27 years. Variations in sediment core profiles of Al, Fe, and organic carbon were small, indicating no great change in bulk sediment composition. Sulfur concentrations decline toward the sediment surface, suggesting a decline in rates of microbial sulfate reduction. Enhanced sediment copper concentrations will be a useful tracer of sediment dispersal from the Ajkwa River estuary along this coast.     

2013年7月22日岷县漳县6.6级地震序列震源机制解及其特征分析

针对2013年7月22日甘肃岷县漳县发生的M_s6.6地震序列,采用CAP(Cut and Paste)方法反演了岷县漳县6.6级地震及部分强余震的震源机制解。结果显示,6.6级主震最佳双力偶解节面I走向189°,倾角51°,滑动角142°;节面II参数走向305°,倾角61°和滑动角46°,主震为逆冲兼走滑型,矩心震源深度均为7km;8次M_s≥3.0余震震源机制解向NE倾的节面II的优势倾角约为52°,表现出逆冲分量大的特性。结合震区的活动构造、余震及烈度分布,判定节面II代表了相应地震的发震断层面,地震序列震源机制的特性反映了与临潭一宕昌断裂带相似的活动特征,分析认为,岷县漳县6.6级地震的发生与临潭-宕昌断裂的活动可能存在一定的相关性。
