多级支护边坡屈服加速度及因素敏感性分析

基于拟静力法,结合塑性极限分析上限定理和强度折减技术,推导了桩板式挡墙与二级锚杆挡墙支护高边坡地震作用下的水平屈服加速度系数的上限解,分别计算了多级支护结构总高度、边坡平台宽度、土的抗剪强度折减系数、桩板墙桩侧土压力分布经验系数、锚杆挡墙倾角、锚杆轴力及倾角等因素下,多级支护边坡的水平屈服加速度系数的临界极限值。根据正交分析法,给出了地震条件下基覆边坡水平屈服加速度系数影响因素的敏感性顺序。研究表明,多级支挡结构高度和锚杆轴力敏感性较大,而锚杆倾角、桩侧土压力分布经验系数和边坡平台宽度的敏感性较小。锚杆倾角、锚杆挡墙倾角、边坡平台宽度、桩板墙抗力及桩侧土压力分布形式的选择等,对水平屈服加速度系数的影响较小。土的抗剪强度参数中,黏聚力对水平屈服加速度系数的影响较小,而内摩擦角的影响较大。     

基于岩石力学特性和机械比能理论的钻头评价和优选

针对川西某构造的地质构造和地层特征,本文以井史资料和测井数据为基础,建立了地层强度参数和岩石力学参数剖面,得出了分布规律,即岩石强度和可钻性级值普遍较高,且变化趋势同弹性模量、粘聚力、内摩擦角等力学参数一致,在2500～2700 m地层达到峰值,而泊松比则相反,达到最低值。提出了基于岩石力学特性和机械比能理论的钻头评价和优选方法,得出了每段地层钻头的机械比能值,对已使用钻头的使用效果进行系统评价,发现采用的PDC钻头效果不理想,形成了牙轮钻头、孕镶钻头为主的钻头推荐方案,为工区钻井提速设计提供指导。     

Could a plasma in quasi-thermal equilibrium be associated to the “orphan” TeV flares?

TeV γ-ray detections in flaring states without activity in X-rays from blazars have attracted much attention due to the irregularity of these “orphan” flares. Although the synchrotron self-Compton model has been very successful in explaining the spectral energy distribution and spectral variability of these sources, it has not been able to describe these atypical flaring events. On the other hand, an electron–positron pair plasma at the base of the AGN jet was proposed as the mechanism of bulk acceleration of relativistic outflows. This plasma in quasi-thermal equilibrium called Wein fireball emits radiation at MeV-peak energies serving as target of accelerated protons. In this work we describe the “orphan” TeV flares presented in blazars 1ES 1959+650 and Mrk 421 assuming geometrical considerations in the jet and evoking the interactions of Fermi-accelerated protons and MeV-peak target photons coming from the Wein fireball. After describing successfully these “orphan” TeV flares, we correlate the TeV γ-ray, neutrino and UHECR fluxes through pγ interactions and calculate the number of high-energy neutrinos and UHECRs expected in IceCube/AMANDA and TA experiment, respectively. In addition, thermal MeV neutrinos produced mainly through electron–positron annihilation at the Wein fireball will be able to propagate through it. By considering two- (solar, atmospheric and accelerator parameters) and three-neutrino mixing, we study the resonant oscillations and estimate the neutrino flavor ratios as well as the number of thermal neutrinos expected on Earth.     

Spatial aspects of MRSA epidemiology: a case study using stochastic simulation,kernel estimation and SaTScan

The identification of disease clusters in space or space–time is of vital importance for public health policy and action. In the case of methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), it is particularly important to distinguish between community and health care‐associated infections, and to identify reservoirs of infection. 832 cases of MRSA in the West Midlands (UK) were tested for clustering and evidence of community transmission, after being geo‐located to the centroids of UK unit postcodes (postal areas roughly equivalent to Zip+4 zip code areas). An age‐stratified analysis was also carried out at the coarser spatial resolution of UK Census Output Areas. Stochastic simulation and kernel density estimation were combined to identify significant local clusters of MRSA (p<0.025), which were supported by SaTScan spatial and spatio‐temporal scan. In order to investigate local sampling effort, a spatial ‘random labelling’ approach was used, with MRSA as cases and MSSA (methicillin‐sensitive S. aureus) as controls. Heavy sampling in general was a response to MRSA outbreaks, which in turn appeared to be associated with medical care environments. The significance of clusters identified by kernel estimation was independently supported by information on the locations and client groups of nursing homes, and by preliminary molecular typing of isolates. In the absence of occupational/lifestyle data on patients, the assumption was made that an individual's location and consequent risk is adequately represented by their residential postcode. The problems of this assumption are discussed, with recommendations for future data collection.     

Wavelet-based generation of spatially correlated accelerograms

For the seismic analysis of complex or nonlinear extended structures, it is useful to generate a set of properly correlated earthquake accelerograms that are consistent with a specified seismic hazard. A new simulation approach is presented in this paper for the generation of ensembles of spatially correlated accelerograms such that the simulated motions are consistent with (i) a parent accelerogram in the sense of temporal variations in frequency content, (ii) a design spectrum in the mean sense, and (iii) with a given instantaneous coherency structure. The formulation is based on the extension of stochastic decomposition technique to wavelet domain via the method of spectral factorization. A complex variant of the modified Littlewood-Paley wavelet function is proposed for the wavelet-based representation of earthquake accelerograms, such that this explicitly brings out the phase information of the signal, besides being able to decompose it into component time-histories having energy in non-overlapping frequency bands. The proposed approach is illustrated by generating ensembles of accelerograms at four stations.     

震源机制类型对近场峰值加速度(PGA)分布的影响——以唐山和汶川震区为例

利用首都圈强震台网比较密集的数字地震记录,研究2003年4月发生在唐山震区的2次4级地震。利用布设在四川、甘肃、陕西的强震台网和临时强震台网的资料,研究2008年7月和8月发生在四川汶川的2次6级地震。得到正断层和走向滑动断层、逆冲断层和走向滑动断层的地震近场PGA分布的差异。结果表明,这种差异是显著的。不仅大震的PGA近场分布复杂,中小地震也是如此。经频谱分析发现,这种影响出现差异的地震波频率较低,城市化的建筑向高层大型发展,其自振周期相应较长。近直立走向滑动地震的PGA高值区沿断层对称分布,而正断层和逆断层则集中在断层上盘,这对于破坏性地震应急救援中力量、物资的投入有借鉴意义。     

Displacement–acceleration control via stiffness–damping collaboration

An approach is presented to stiffness–damping simultaneous optimization for displacement–acceleration simultaneous control. To make a shear building model stiffer, the sum of mean-square interstorey drifts to stationary random excitations is minimized or the mean-square top-floor absolute acceleration is maximized subject to the constraints on total storey stiffness capacity and total damper capacity. Optimality conditions are derived and a two-step optimization method using the optimality conditions is devised. In the first step, the optimal design is found for a specified set of total storey stiffness capacity and total damper capacity. In the second step, a series of optimal designs is found with respect to a varied set of total storey stiffness capacity and total damper capacity. While increase of total stiffness capacity and increase of total damper capacity are both effective in reduction of deformation, only increase of total damper capacity is effective in reduction of acceleration. Acceleration control is carried out in the second step via increase of total damper capacity. It is shown through numerical examples that the proposed method is efficient and reliable.
