How do streamflow generation mechanisms affect watershed hypsometry?

Several studies have shown that the dominant streamflow generation mechanism in a river basin can leave distinct geomorphological signatures in basin topography. In particular, it has been suggested previously that basins generated by groundwater discharge tend to have a larger hypsometric integral than surface runoff basins because fluvial erosion is more focused in the valleys where groundwater discharge tends to occur. In this analysis, we aim to clarify this relationship by developing an alternative method to quantify the effects of streamflow generation mechanisms on basin hypsometry and by using a numerical model that can generate streamflow by different processes to evaluate the sensitivity of the results to the hydrological and geomorphological properties of the basin. The model results suggest that the hypsometric characteristics that are usually associated with groundwater discharge basins, such as a larger hypsometric integral, occur primarily when drainage networks are still advancing in the watershed. During later stages of development, an additional factor such as lithological controls or a distinct geomorphological process would be needed to preserve these features. The model results also show that the hypsometric effects are stronger when the parameters of the fluvial erosion process promote the influence of small discharge rates.

流域演化与泥石流的系统性——以云南东川蒋家沟为例

以典型的云南东川蒋家沟为例,根据Strahler面积-高程曲线的积分将其分区,揭示了流域的演化差异.证明了泥石流发生在特定的演化区域,并具有特定的物质组成.通过概率模型,定性说明了泥石流在流域的形成和扩张,其结果就表现为间歇性的阵流.阵流的时空特征反过来证明了泥石流的系统性.统计还表明,阵流的流量分布和衰减取决于最大流量;最大流量序列很好继承了作为流域系统行为的动力学特征.最后,可以根据单沟泥石流的过程系统考察区域泥石流活动.泥石流在大尺度水系的分布,从概率过程看,完全等同于泥石流源地小分支在单个流域的分布,而且满足相似的分布特征.     

Design of controlled elastic and inelastic structures

One of the founders of structural control theory and its application in civil engineering,Professor Emeritus Tsu T.Soong,envisioned the development of the integral design of structures protected by active control devices.Most of his disciples and colleagues continuously attempted to develop procedures to achieve such integral control.In his recent papers published jointly with some of the authors of this paper,Professor Soong developed design procedures for the entire structure using a design-redesign proce...

条形荷载下高饱和土地基的固结与沉降

以Biot（1941）提出的理想土体的三维固结理论为基础,在水流连续条件中增加了考虑孔隙流体本身的压缩变形,并将这一因素以高饱和度土体的饱和度的变化为表征,写入文中建立的平面应变下的Biot二维固结方程。通过实施Laplace变换和Fourier正余弦变换获得基本方程组,求解得到初始函数表达式;再利用数值反变换得到任意时刻、任意一点的数值解,并侧重分析了高饱和土饱和度的变化对孔隙流体的压缩性能的影响,以及由此而产生的固结全过程的变化,表明了考虑孔隙流体的压缩对分析高饱和度土体的固结行为的意义。该解可以进一步推广到其它类型荷载作用在土体不同位置,以及不同边界条件下多层地基的二维固结分析。     

Exact computation of Feynman-type integrals involving Gaussian random fields

We calculate explicitly some expectations (integrals over Hilbert spaces) of functionals of Gaussian random fields. Our work is inspired by the formulas for the harmonic oscillator. We also show how to do similar calculations by considering continuum limits of sequences of coupled harmonic oscillators. The results obtained in this work have applications in the study of random media, renormalization and scaling, and in engineering perturbation analysis.     

Relationship between regional stress field variation and earthquake activities from GPS data

IntroductionWith the development of science and technology, especially with the development of spatial geodetic technology (Tralli, Timothy, 1988), it is possible to precisely obtain the continuous geodetic data on the earth surface by Global Positioning System (GPS) observation. The spatial geodetic technology can be used to observe the deformation response on the earth surface caused by the stress field variation, and some deformation and movement feature in the earth crust during the pro…     

Geoid Determination through Ellipsoidal Stokes Boundary-Value Problem

Martinec and Grafarend (1997) have shown how the construction of Green's function in the Stokes boundary-value problem with gravity data distributed on an ellipsoid of revolution is approached in the O(e ₀ ² )-approximation. They have also expressed the ellipsoidal Stokes function describing the effect of ellipticity of the boundary as a finite sum of elementary functions. We present an effective method of avoiding the singularity of spherical and the ellipsoidal Stokes functions, and also an analytical expression for the ellipsoidal Stokes integral around the computational point suitable for numerical solution. We give the numerical results of solving the ellipsoidal Stokes boundary-value problem and their difference with respect to the spherical Stoke boundary-value problem.     

近场动力学理论在区域地面沉降建模中的应用研究

地面沉降是由自然和人类活动共同作用导致的缓变性地质灾害,是区域可持续发展的重要影响因素。以往地面沉降在建模时需要地裂缝等不连续结构的位置、走向、深度等信息,在构建微分方程模拟时需假设模型连续,这对开展地面沉降-地裂缝-地面塌陷一体化模拟带来一定的局限性。于2000年出现的近场动力学理论提出以积分形式描述材料受力过程,方法具有无需先验知识与连续性假设的优点,在材料的疲劳、损伤、断裂等模拟研究中展现出良好的应用前景。本文综述了其在岩石水力压裂、滑坡、饱水岩土材料等领域的研究进展;提出了应用近场动力学进行区域地面沉降建模求解的一般方法;结合InSAR技术获取的沉降信息、三维地震频谱谐振勘探技术获取的地下结构与密度信息等,提出了模型的反演调参与优化方法。以北京东部梨园-台湖镇-张家湾镇区域为实验区,建立了其4 km×6 km范围、0.2 km深度的近场动力学地面沉降模型,以实验区地下水位月均下降速率为边界条件,对2007—2010年地面沉降过程进行模拟。模拟结果与实测值的平均绝对误差为18 mm,表明近场动力学在地面沉降建模中有较好的适用性。
