Optimized and robust experimental design: a non-linear application to EM sounding

Pragmatic experimental design requires objective consideration of several classes of information including the survey goals, the range of expected Earth responses, acquisition costs, instrumental capabilities, experimental conditions and logistics. In this study we consider the ramifications of maximizing model parameter resolution through non-linear experimental design. Global optimization theory is employed to examine and rank different EM sounding survey designs in terms of model resolution as defined by linearized inverse theory. By studying both theoretically optimal and heuristic experimental survey configurations for various quantities of data, it is shown that design optimization is critical for minimizing model variance estimates, and is particularly important when the inverse problem becomes nearly underdetermined. We introduce the concept of robustness so that survey designs are relatively immune to the presence of potential bias errors in important data. Bias may arise during practical measurement, or from designing a survey using an appropriate model.     

EXPERIMENTAL GEOCHEMISTRY STUDY ON GOLD IN WATER-ROCK REACTION UNDER THERMAL FLUID SYSTEM AT MESO-LOW TEMPERATURE

Based on the knowing geochemical characteristics of wall rock in the Mobin gold deposit and composition of fluid inclusion in ore,water-rock experiments were carried out,important achievements are acquired as following: Gold is mainly derived from the ore-bearing wall rock,i,e.,a series of epimetamorphic clastic gritstone,sandy slate,and tuffaceous slate in the Wuqiang Banxi Formation,Wuqiangxi Group.In thermal system with middle-low temperature chlorine gold may be derived form stable complex ions,so it is quite important in gold metallogenic process.Sulphur and chlorine perform as the major negative ions throughout the gold activation and migration movement.The concentration of sulphur and chlorine ions,pH value and temperature are of deciding significance for gold activation,migration and precipitation.

Statistical moment-based structural damage detection method in time domain

A novel structural damage detection method with a new damage index,i.e.,the statistical moment-based damage detection(SMBDD) method in the frequency domain,has been recently proposed.The aim of this study is to extend the SMBDD method in the frequency domain to the time domain for building structures subjected to non-Gaussian and non-stationary excitations.The applicability and effectiveness of the SMBDD method in the time domainis verified both numerically and experimentally.Shear buildings with various damage scenarios are first numerically investigated in the time domain taking into account the effect of measurement noise.The applicability of the proposed method in the time domain to building structures subjected to non-Gaussian and non-stationary excitations is then experimentally investigated through a series of shaking table tests,in which two three-story shear building models with four damage scenarios aretested.The identified damage locations and severities are then compared with the preset values.The comparative results are found to be satisfactory,and the SMBDD method is shown to be feasible and effective for building structures subjected to non-Gaussian and non-stationary excitations.     

锡在流体和花岗质硅酸盐熔体间分配行为的实验研究

锡的成矿与花岗岩有着密切关系。为深入了解不同的岩浆组成及流体变化对锡分配行为的影响,以不同化学组成的凝胶和不同的流体分别作为初始固液相,进行了锡在流体与花岗质熔体间的分配行为实验研究。实验温度为850℃,压力为100 MPa。结果显示,当液相为0.1 mol/L的HCl时,熔体组成的变化对锡的分配行为有着明显的影响,锡在流熔体间的分配系数DSn随熔体中碱质(Na2O K2O)含量、钠钾(Na/K)和碱铝(AlK/Al)摩尔比的增加而减小;在固相(富钾过碱质熔体)不变的前提下,DSn随流体相中HCl浓度的增加而增大,而流体相中HF及K 、Na 浓度的改变对DSn影响不大;流体Cl-浓度和酸度升高有利于锡分配进入流体相。     

马岭油田北三区污水回注的实验研究

根据马岭油田北三区油田水性质，结合污水与地层水混合的静态实验结果分析，发现污水回注对地层可能引起不同程度的伤害。同时，模拟地层条件做岩心流动实验。将采出的污水回注到地层与地层水混合后，亦会使地层渗透率下降，且随着污水含量的增加，渗透率伤害程度增大。

Hydraulic Effects of Shales in Fluvial-Deltaic Deposits: Ground-Penetrating Radar, Outcrop Observations, Geostatistics, and Three-Dimensional Flow Modeling for the Ferron Sandstone, Utah

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) surveys, outcrop measurements, and cores provide a high-resolution 3D geologic model to investigate the hydraulic effects of shales in marine-influenced lower delta-plain distributary channel deposits within the Cretaceous-age Ferron Sandstone at Corbula Gulch in central Utah, USA. Shale statistics are computed from outcrop observations. Although slight anisotropy was observed in mean length and variogram ranges parallel and perpendicular to pale of low , the anisotropy is not statistically significant and the estimated mean length is 5.4 m. Truncated Gaussian simulation was used to create maps of shales that are placed on variably dipping stratigraphic surfaces interpreted from high-resolution 3D GPR surveys, outcrop interpretations, and boreholes. Sandstone permeability is estimated from radar responses calibrated to permeability measurements from core samples. Experimentally designed flow simulations examine the effects of variogram range, shale coverage fraction, and trends in shale coverage on predicted upscaled permeability, breakthrough time, and sweep efficiency. Approximately 1500 flow simulations examine three different geologic models, flow in the 3 coordinate directions, 16 geostatistical parameter combinations, and 10 realizations for each model. ANOVA and response models computed from the flow simulations demonstrate that shales decrease sweep, recovery, and permeability, especially in the vertical direction. The effect on horizontal flow is smaller. Flow predictions for ideal tracer displacements at Corbula Gulch are sensitive to shale-coverage fraction, but are relatively insensitive to twofold variations in variogram range or to vertical trends in shale coverage. Although the hydraulic effects of shale are statistically significant, the changes in flow responses rarely exceed 20%. As a result, it may be reasonable to use simple models when incorporating analogous shales into models of reservoirs or aquifers.     

偏心荷载下溶洞顶板冲切破坏上限分析

针对冲切破坏模式下溶洞顶板极限承载力问题,进行了不同顶板厚度以及不同荷载偏心距下溶洞顶板极限承载力室内试验研究,依据试验结果将偏心荷载作用下的溶洞冲切破坏假定为轴对称问题,引入Griffith强度准则,基于极限分析上限法,提出了一种适用于轴对称和偏心荷载作用下溶洞顶底板极限承载力的计算方法,并给出了能发生冲切破坏范围的估算方法。试验结果表明：在同一偏心距下,随着顶板厚度的增加,在达到基岩极限承载力之前,顶板极限承载力呈线性增长;当顶板厚度一定时,顶板极限承载力随着偏心距的增加呈非线性增长,偏心距e在能发生冲切破坏的范围之外时趋于平缓,并逐渐达到基岩极限承载力;理论计算结果与试验结果吻合较好。
