井地电法的准解析近似三维反演研究

研究复杂地电模型上的井地电法三维反演一直是一个具有挑战性的课题。本文在准解析近似和重加权正则化的共轭梯度法的基础上,用visualFortran6.5开发了井地电法三维准解析近似反演程序。反演过程中的正演和Frechet导数矩阵计算都应用准解析近似大大提高了计算的速度。通过理论模型的合成数据反演试算,说明基于准解析近似法和加权正则化的共轭梯度法的井地电法三维反演程序有着计算速度快,反演精度高等特点。

Fluctuation responses of saturated porous media subjected to cyclic thermal loading

Normalized, coupled governing equations for one-dimensional thermal consolidation problems are established. The non-dimensional coefficients of thermal consolidation and thermal diffusivity are defined accordingly. An analytical solution is deduced by using the Laplace transform and the Gauss–Legendre method of Laplace transform inversion. The responses of saturated porous media subjected to cyclic thermal loading are studied. The evolution of temperature, pore pressure and displacement from instantaneous state to quasi-steady state, with elapsed time, are analysed. The characteristics of cyclic fluctuation and the attenuation of the field variables with increased depth are also analysed. The influences of the permeability of media on thermal responses are discussed.

Strong Ground Motion Estimation During the Kutch, India Earthquake

In the absence of strong motion records, ground motion during the 26^th January, 2001 Kutch, India earthquake, has been estimated by analytical methods. A contour map of peak ground acceleration (PGA) values in the near source region is provided. These results are validated by comparing them with spectral response recorder data and field observations. It is found that very near the epicenter, PGA would have exceeded 0.6 g. A set of three aftershock records have been used as empirical Green's functions to simulate ground acceleration time history and 5% damped response spectrum at Bhuj City. It is found that at Bhuj, PGA would have been 0.31 g–0.37 g. It is demonstrated that source mechanism models can be effectively used to understand spatial variability of large-scale ground movements near urban areas due to the rupture of active faults.     

Empirical Global Relations Converting M S and m b to Moment Magnitude

The existence of several magnitude scales used by seismological centers all over the world and the compilation of earthquake catalogs by many authors have rendered globally valid relations connecting magnitude scales a necessity. This would allow the creation of a homogeneous global earthquake catalog, a useful tool for earthquake research. Of special interest is the definition of global relations converting different magnitude scales to the most reliable and useful scale of magnitude, the moment magnitude, M _W. In order to accomplish this, a very large sample of data from international seismological sources (ISC, NEIC, HRVD, etc.) has been collected and processed. The magnitude scales tested against M _W are the surface wave magnitude, M _S, the body wave magnitude, m _b, and the local magnitude, M _L. The moment magnitudes adopted have been taken from the CMT solutions of HRVD and USGS. The data set used in this study contains 20,407 earthquakes, which occurred all over the world during the time period 1.1.1976–31.5.2003, for which moment magnitudes are available. It is shown that well-defined relations hold between M _W and m _b and M _S and that these relations can be reliably used for compiling homogeneous, with respect to magnitude, earthquake catalogs.     

2.5维声波数值模拟

利用Liner的2.5-D时间域声波方程和高阶有限差分近似,研究了2.5维声波方程在时间-空间域中的衰减特性。简单地质模型(水平二层介质)的数值计算结果证实了下列事实:在Liner的声波方程中的最后一项,即含有1/t2的一项对整个计算结果没有影响,因此可以忽略。这一结论与文献中已经发表的数值结果相吻合。同样的结论对于由Williamson和Pratt提出的2.5-D声波方程也适用。     

Transformation from Cartesian to Geodetic Coordinates Accelerated by Halley’s Method

By using Halley’s third-order formula to find the root of a non-linear equation, we develop a new iterative procedure to solve an irrational form of the “latitude equation”, the equation to determine the geodetic latitude for given Cartesian coordinates. With a limit to one iteration, starting from zero height, and minimizing the number of divisions by means of the rational form representation of Halley’s formula, we obtain a new non-iterative method to transform Cartesian coordinates to geodetic ones. The new method is sufficiently precise in the sense that the maximum error of the latitude and the relative height is less than 6 micro-arcseconds for the range of height, −10 km ≤ h ≤ 30,000 km. The new method is around 50% faster than our previous method, roughly twice as fast as the well-known Bowring’s method, and much faster than the recently developed methods of Borkowski, Laskowski, Lin and Wang, Jones, Pollard, and Vermeille.
