软弱夹层特性对地震波强度影响的模拟研究

模拟了隐伏软弱夹层的弹塑性参数对其地震波放大效应的影响,发现当软弱层波速不大于上下围岩的 30 %时,就会在特定的频率上产生相当显著的地震动放大作用。研究结果表明,夹层放大作用的强度主要与其波速有关,而与密度及品质因素关系不大。研究还发现,这种放大作用的强度受软弱层波速与厚度之间的某种关系制约。这种关系的规律尚待通过进一步的理论分析或大量模拟研究去揭示。     

沉积型软弱夹层成因分类及强度特征

研究区为一沉积岩覆盖区。由于区内软弱夹层分布广泛，构成了影响坝肩、坝基抗滑稳定性的王要工程地质问题之一。文章从软弱夹层的成因入手，认为区内特定的沉积环境和构造运动是夹层形成的基础，确定了夹层的成因类型；根据夹层分布、夹泥粒度组成，依据工程分类方法，将坝区夹层分为3种不同类型：粘泥型(Ⅰ1类)，泥含粉粒碎屑型(Ⅰ2类)及碎屑夹泥型(Ⅱ类)；分析了区内夹层夹泥的物理性质及表征区内夹层物理性质指标；通过分析软弱夹层强度特征与其物理性质的关系，确定了能够表征夹层强度特征的物理性状指标W／Wp；在软弱夹层工程分类基础上，研究各类夹层的强度特征，表明综合物理性状指标W／Wp与强度指标之间具有较好的相关性，确定了不同类型夹层的W／Wp和强度指标的相关关系式。在上述相关关系式基础上，结合坝区内控制性夹层的物理指标，给定了其强度建议值。文章这种“成因-物理性质-强度特征”的研究方法及以此确定的不同类型软弱夹层物理性状指标和强度指标间的相关关系，为沉积型软弱夹层的强度取值提供了一条捷径，对其它类型软弱夹层的强度取值也具一定的参考价值。     

Inverting seismograms of weak events for empirical Green's tensor derivatives

Given a station and a suite of clustered weak event records whose focal mechanisms are known, empirical Green's tensor spatial derivatives (EGTD) can be calculated, almost free of the source effects. The inversion method solves an overdetermined system of linear algebraic equations in the frequency domain, and a FFT provides the time histories. They represent a least-squares averaged representation of the path between the station and the entire focal zone, including multiple P and S phases, coda waves, etc. The method can be used for modelling earthquakes whose focal mechanisms are quite different from the weak events employed. This is proved here using both synthetic seismograms and earthquake swarm records with variable focal mechanisms. It is expected that the EGTD method can improve strong motion syntheses and source inversions.     

不同温压条件下蛇纹岩和角闪岩中波速与衰减的各向异性

在实验室中研究了蛇纹岩和角闪岩样品在不同温压条件下的纵、横波速度和Q值．这两种岩样对应的主要组成矿物叶蛇纹石和普通角闪石都具有很强的晶格优选方位（LPO）．随着围压的增加,波速和Q值均增大,但是在相互正交的三个方向上（垂直或平行于层理面及线理方向）增大的速度并不相同,这与微裂隙的逐渐闭合密切相关．在600MPa的围压下升高温度直到600℃以上,由于微裂隙的热扩张受到约束,波速和Q值下降幅度很小．观测到的波速和Q值的各向异性具有不同的机理,波速各向异性主要与定向分布的微裂隙和主要矿物的LPO等构造因素有关;高围压下纵波Q值各向异性与速度各向异性正好相反,可能是由于形成层理面的定向排列的平板状矿物晶体沿不同方向边界之间接触程度不同造成的．

East-west crustal structure and "down-bowing" Moho under the northern Tibet revealed by wide-angle seismic profile

We recognized 6 sets of reflecting P- and S-wave events from Moho and other interfaces within the crust, respectively, with the wide-angle seismic data acquired from 510 km-long Selincuo-Ya'anduo profile in the northern Tibet, fitted the observed events with forward modeling, and interpreted crustal structure of P- and S-wave velocities and Poisson's ratio under the profile. The results demonstrate that the crustal structure between Yarlungzangbo and Bangong-Nujiang sutures changes abruptly, and the crust is the thickest at the middle part of the profile with thickness of 80 km or more. The "down-bowing" Moho is the striking feature for the crustal variation along the west-east direction. The Moho uplifts with steps, and the uplifting rate westward is greater than that eastward. The heterogeneity of P- and S-wave velocities exists both vertically and horizontally, and one lower velocity layer (LVL) exists with the depth range of 27-34 km and the thickness range of 5-7 km. For the upper crust, Poisson's ratio is the lowest at the middle part of the profile; for the lower crust, the Poisson's ratio at the east segment is lower than that at west segment, which means that the crustal rigidity for the upper crust is different from the lower crust, and the lower crust under the east segment of the profile is more ductile. We infer that the substance in the lower crust endured eastward flow along with the collision between Eurasian and Indian plates, and the "down-bowing" Moho is attributable to the multi-phase E-W tectonic processes.     

JOINT INVERSION OF SURFACE WAVE DISPERSION AND RECEIVER FUNCTIONS FOR CRUSTAL AND UPPERMOST MANTLE STRUCTURE BENEATH CHINESE TIENSHAN AND ITS ADJACENT AREAS

The Tienshan orogenic belt is one of the most active intracontinental orogenic belts in the world. Studying the deep crust-mantle structure in this area is of great significance for understanding the deep dynamics of the Tienshan orogen. The distribution of fixed seismic stations in the Tianshan orogenic belt is sparse. The low resolution of the existing tomographic results in the Tienshan orogenic belt has affected the in-depth understanding of the deep dynamics of the Tienshan orogenic belt. In this paper, the observation data of 52 mobile seismic stations in the Xinjiang Seismic Network and the 11 new seismic stations in the Tienshan area for one-year observations are used. The seismic ambient noise tomography method is used to obtain the Rayleigh surface wave velocity distribution image in the range of 10~50s beneath the Chinese Tienshan and its adjacent areas (41°~48° N, 79°~91° E). The joint inversion of surface wave and receiver function reveals the S-wave velocity structure of the crust and uppermost mantle and the crustal thickness below the station beneath the Chinese Tienshan area(41°~46° N, 79°~91° E). The use of observation data from mobile stations and new fixed seismic stations has improved the resolution of surface wave phase velocity imaging and S-wave velocity structure models in the study area.
The results show that there are many obvious low-velocity layers in the crust near the basin-bearing zone in the northern Tienshan Mountains and the southern Tienshan Mountains. There are significant differences in the structural characteristics and distribution range of the low-velocity zone in the northern margin and the southern margin. Combining previous research results on artificial seismic profiles, receiver function profiles, teleseismic tomography, and continental subduction simulation experiments, it is speculated that the subduction of the Tarim Basin and the Junggar Basin to the Tienshan orogenic belt mainly occurs in the middle of the Chinese Tienshan orogenic belt, and the subduction of the southern margin of the Tienshan Mountains is larger than that of the northern margin, and the subduction of the eastern crust is not obvious or in the early subduction stage. There are many low-velocity layers in the inner crust of the Tienshan orogenic belt, and most of them correspond to the strong uplifting areas that are currently occurring. The thickness of the crust below the Tienshan orogenic belt is between 55km and 63km. The thickness of the crust(about 63km)is the largest near the BLT seismic station in the Bazhou region of Xinjiang. The average crustal thickness of the Tarim Basin is about 45km, and that of the Junggar Basin is 47km. The S-wave velocity structure obtained in this study can provide a new deep basis for the study of the segmentation of the Tienshan orogenic belt and the difference of the basin-mountain coupling type.     

Certified solutions for hydraulic structures using the node‐based smoothed point interpolation method (NS‐PIM)

A meshfree node‐based smoothed point interpolation method (NS‐PIM), which has been recently developed for solid mechanics problems, is applied to obtain certified solutions with bounds for hydraulic structure designs. In this approach, shape functions for displacements are constructed using the point interpolation method (PIM), and the shape functions possess the Kronecker delta property and permit the straightforward enforcement of essential boundary conditions. The generalized smoothed Galerkin weak form is then applied to construct discretized system equations using the node‐based smoothed strains. As a very novel and important property, the approach can obtain the upper bound solution in energy norm for hydraulic structures. A 2D gravity dam problem and a 3D arch dam problem are solved, respectively, using the NS‐PIM and the simulation results of NS‐PIM are found to be the upper bounds. Together with standard fully compatible FEM results as a lower bound, we have successfully determined the solution bounds to certify the accuracy of numerical solutions. This confirms that the NS‐PIM is very useful for producing certified solutions for the analysis of huge hydraulic structures. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
