Analytical exploration of γ-function explicit method for pseudodynamic testing of nonlinear systems

It has been well studied that the γ-function explicit method can be effective in providing favorable numerical dissipation for linear elastic systems. However, its performance for nonlinear systems is unclear due to a lack of analytical evaluation techniques. Thus, a novel technique is proposed herein to evaluate its efficiency for application to nonlinear systems by introducing two parameters to describe the stiffness change. As a result, the numerical properties and error propagation characteristics of the γ-function explicit method for the pseudodynamic testing of a nonlinear system are analytically assessed. It is found that the upper stability limit decreases as the step degree of nonlinearity increases; and it increases as the current degree of nonlinearity increases. It is also shown that this integration method provides favorable numerical dissipation not only for linear elastic systems but also for nonlinear systems. Furthermore, error propagation analysis reveals that the numerical dissipation can effectively suppress the severe error propagation of high frequency modes while the low frequency responses are almost unaffected for both linear elastic and nonlinear systems.     

地震活动标度ΔF震前时间扫描异常浅探

运用地震活动标度ΔF对大华北地区MS≥6.0级地震震前资料进行时间扫描,结果表明,地震活动标度ΔF大多在震前1～2年出现超出一倍均方差的异常;运用该方法还对河南及邻区ML≥5.0级地震震前资料进行了探索,同样,中等地震震前也有一定的异常反映。     

鄂尔多斯盆地南部的黄土塬区地震资料处理与解释,第一部分:地震资料处理

Branching river channels and the coexistence of valleys, ridges, hiils, and slopes＇as the result of long-term weathering and erosion form the unique loess topography. The Changqing Geophysical Company, working in these complex conditions, has established a suite of technologies for high-fidelity processing and fine interpretation of seismic data. This article introduces the processes involved in the data processing and interpretation and illustrates the results.

1900年以来山西5级以上地震活动初探

对山西境内1900年以来5级以上的地震活动进行了研究，从地震活动的时序特征、季节分布、与月相的关系、空间位置的变化等方面分析了该区5级以上地震活动的特点，认为该区5级以上地震活动在时间、空间上存在一定规律。对这些规律的认识和把握，将对山西地震趋势的判断有积极的意义。     

云南禄劝地震对余震有触发作用吗——静态应力触发地震的讨论

采用Okada（1992）计算地震产生的静态应变场的解析表达式，对云南禄劝地震的15次余震，计算了主震在余震节面上产生的正应力和静态库仑破裂应力。分析了正应力和静态库仑破裂应力是否对余震有触发作用。结果表明，主震产生的正应力和库仑破裂应力变化并没有明显的证据“有利于”余震的发生。另外，还比较了运用与主震相同的余震机制和反演得到的余震机制在库仑破裂模型中计算结果的差异。使用反演的余震机制得出的结果稍优于假定余震与主震有相同震源机制得到的结果。
