Resonances of low orders in the planetary system of HD37124

The full set of published radial velocity data (52 measurements from Keck + 58 ones from ELODIE + 17 ones from CORALIE) for the star HD37124 is analysed. Two families of dynamically stable high-eccentricity orbital solutions for the planetary system are found. In the first one, the outer planets c and d are trapped in the 2/1 mean-motion resonance. The second family of solutions corresponds to the 5/2 mean-motion resonance between these planets. In both families, the planets are locked in (or close to) an apsidal corotation resonance. In the case of the 2/1 MMR, it is an asymmetric apsidal corotation (with the difference between the longitudes of periastra Δω ~ 60°), whereas in the case of the 5/2 MMR it is a symmetric antialigned one (Δω = 180°). It remains also possible that the two outer planets are not trapped in an orbital resonance. Then their orbital eccentricities should be relatively small (less than, say, 0.15) and the ratio of their orbital periods is unlikely to exceed 2.3 − 2.5.     

Periodic orbits and bifurcations in the Sitnikov four-body problem

We study the existence, linear stability and bifurcations of what we call the Sitnikov family of straight line periodic orbits in the case of the restricted four-body problem, where the three equal mass primary bodies are rotating on a circle and the fourth (small body) is moving in the direction vertical to the center mass of the other three. In contrast to the restricted three-body Sitnikov problem, where the Sitnikov family has infinitely many stability intervals (hence infinitely many Sitnikov critical orbits), as the “family parameter” ż₀ varies within a finite interval (while z ₀ tends to infinity), in the four-body problem this family has only one stability interval and only twelve 3-dimensional (3D) families of symmetric periodic orbits exist which bifurcate from twelve corresponding critical Sitnikov periodic orbits. We also calculate the evolution of the characteristic curves of these 3D branch-families and determine their stability. More importantly, we study the phase space dynamics in the vicinity of these orbits in two ways: First, we use the SALI index to investigate the extent of bounded motion of the small particle off the z-axis along its interval of stable Sitnikov orbits, and secondly, through suitably chosen Poincaré maps, we chart the motion near one of the 3D families of plane-symmetric periodic orbits. Our study reveals in both cases a fascinating structure of ordered motion surrounded by “sticky” and chaotic orbits as well as orbits which rapidly escape to infinity.     

Mass transfer in double white dwarf binaries

I review the implications of our recent numerical simulations of the hydrodynamics of Roche lobe overflow in double white dwarf binaries, with special emphasis on the stability and survival of such systems after the onset of dynamically unstable mass transfer. We find that some of these systems may survive and enter a secular phase of orbital expansion, driven by gravitational radiation, undergoing slow and decreasing mass transfer, and be observable as AM Canum Venaticorum binaries.

High slope stability of diversion power system intake of Jinchuan hydropower station

The excavated height of the left bank slope of the diversion power system intake in Jinchuan hydropower station is about 16o m. The stability and safety of the slope during construction and its operation/utilization become one of the most important geological engineering problems. At the same time, it is also crucial to select a safe and economic excavation gradient for the construction. We studied the problem of how to select a safe and economic slope ratio by analyzing the geological condition of the high slope, including the lithology, slope structure, structural surface and their combinations, rock weathering and unloading, hydrology, and the natural gradient. The study results showed that the use of an excavation gradient larger than the gradient observed during site investigation and the gradient recommended in standards and field practice manuals is feasible. Then, we used the finite element method and rigid limit equilibrium method to evaluate the stability of the excavation slope under natural, rainstorm and earthquake conditions. The calculated results showed that the excavated slope only has limited failure, but its stability is greatly satisfactory. The research findings can be useful in excavation and slope stabilization projects.     

基于原地应力测量数据的中国大陆地壳上部应力状态研究

在两个水平主应力随深度呈线性增加的前提下,通过数学推导,建立了侧压系数、水平最大与水平最小主应力之比(σ_H/σ_h)以及剪应力相对大小μ_m等应力参数随深度变化的关系式.在此基础上,依据中国大陆1780条二维水压致裂和应力解除的原地应力测量数据,对多个应力参数随深度的变化进行了回归分析.结果显示,中国大陆地壳浅部的侧压系数随深度的变化呈完整的双曲线形态,通过稳定性检验说明,即使缺少较深的原地应力实测数据,只要有一定数量的测试深度超过1500 m的数据,仍然可以得到比较可信的侧压系数回归分析结果,在整个脆性上地壳的物性参数没有本质变化的前提下,可以利用地壳浅部的侧压系数回归分析结果推断脆性上地壳的2个水平主应力的取值范围;相对于侧压系数,在中国大陆地表以下几千米深度范围内,σ_HH/σ和μ_m的变化不大,更接近线性分布,σ_H/σ_h的拟合值在1.5左右,μ_m的拟合值在0.2左右,并且μ_m的线性集中程度更好.利用μ_m的大小来判断活动断裂的地震危险性具有一定合理性.

以某桥台危岩体为例研究危岩体在地震作用时的稳定性

危岩体作为多发性的地震地质灾害,其对工程建设有着重大威胁。地震是引发危岩体破坏的一个因素。在滑移式危岩体、坠落式危岩体和倾倒式危岩体的计算中只考虑了危岩体在地震水平系数为常数的常规状态下的稳定性,而没有考虑在不同地震烈度情况下危岩体的稳定性。简要描述了危岩体的稳定性分析方法,以新疆迪那2井区主干道桥梁四号桥台的危岩体稳定性为例,着重强调了危岩体在不同地震设防水准情况下的稳定性,并进行了计算。     

降雨和地震耦合作用对滑坡稳定性的影响——以甘肃西和Ⅲ号滑坡为例

以甘肃省西和县西山Ⅲ号滑坡为例分析了地震与降雨耦合作用对滑坡稳定性的影响。采用GEOSTUDIO软件对其进行了天然及地震降雨耦合作用两种条件下的数值模拟。通过计算结果对比可知,西山Ⅲ号滑坡在天然状态下处于稳定状态;地震降雨耦合作用对西山Ⅲ号滑坡的稳定会起到很强的削弱作用,滑坡将处于失稳状态。在此处采用的计算条件下,相同降雨量下地震与不同降雨强度的耦合作用显示,降雨强度越小雨水入渗相对越多,地震作用下超孔隙水压力影响区域越大,滑坡越不稳定。
