Optimal instrumentation of structures on flexible base for system identification

A criterion previously developed by Heredia-Zavoni and Esteva for selecting optimal sensor locations is used to analyse the optimal instrumentation of structures on soft soils. The stochastic response of a linear structural system on a flexible base is formulated for use of the criterion. The case of MDOF shear systems on flexible base, with uncertain lateral stiffness and subjected to random earthquake ground motions, is studied. The optimal location of accelerometers, the reduction of prior uncertainty on the lateral stiffness, the effects of the base flexibility, the relative influence of translation and rocking of the base, and the influence of recording noise are assessed and discussed.

臭氧氧化分解污泥的试验研究

臭氧氧化能有效地分解污泥,为对臭氧氧化后污泥性质的变化进行系统的研究,本文采用接触反应柱对污泥在臭氧氧化过程中性质的变化进行了研究。结果表明,在臭氧投量为0．1gO3／gSS时,污泥中的溶解性COD浓度从256mg／L增加到2126mg／L,污泥沉降速度由初始的0．19cm／min增至1．43cm／min,滤饼的含水率由初始的76．6％降至70．6％。臭氧氧化后污泥絮体被分解,产生大量悬浮粒子,使污泥上清液的浊度和悬浮物浓度增加。臭氧氧化处理后污泥的过滤性能恶化。污泥比阻增大。     

磁云传播的动力学演化过程研究进展

磁云因其独特的磁场结构经常是重大灾害性空间天气的驱动源. 近来从磁云的边界层结构、环向通量、大尺度结构等方面关于磁云传播的动力学演化过程的研究取得了一些进展. 在磁云边界存在一个由于磁场重联而形成的边界层结构. 在磁云传播过程中, 这种发生在边界处的磁场重联可能会把磁云的磁场剥蚀掉, 进而引起其磁通量绳结构环向通量的减少以及不对称. 在磁云内部, 经常会观测到多个子通量绳结构. 这些特性各异的子通量绳可以通过磁场重联而合并, 进而引起磁云磁结构的改变. 关于磁云大尺度磁场拓扑位形的演化机制, 除了较早提出的交换重联外, 目前的研究表明在行星际空间中, 磁云边界处的重联过程也可以将磁云闭合或半开放的磁场线打开或断开. 尽管在相关研究中已经取得了较大进展, 但关于磁云传播的动力学演化过程还有许多问题尚不清楚. 在行星际小尺度磁通量绳边界也发现了边界层结构, 那么磁云是否会因剥蚀而成为小尺度通量绳? 磁云内子通量绳结构在相互作用中会不会引起某些不稳定性而导致整个通量绳系统的崩溃? 这些问题的解决还有待于进一步的理论、观测和数值模拟研究.     

Magnetic properties as indicators of pedogenic and pyrogenic processes at the Upper Paleolithic site of Kostenki 14

In geoarchaeological studies, there is an issue with distinguishing between natural and anthropogenic signals in pedological paleoarchives. With the pedostratigraphy of the Upper Paleolithic site of Kostenki 14, this issue is reflected by problems with the determination of features of pedogenic and pyrogenic processes. This issue was addressed by means of a thorough analysis of the magnetic properties of paleosols accompanied by micromorphological observations. Most of the humic samples were shown to be a result of pedogenesis, but two samples (a Paleolithic hearth sample and a sample from paleosol IIc) had features of intensely burnt material. The difference in the typical intensity of large-scale (natural or human-induced) and local-scale anthropogenic fire allowed for suggesting that the magnetic properties of the burnt sample were the result of an anthropogenically controlled fire event, that is, a hearth. This study shows that the magnetic properties of paleosols can be used to differentiate anthropogenic activity, in particular—burning, from pedogenic processes. This indicator is especially helpful in finding disturbed combustion features when the hearth structure is lost. This methodology used to demonstrate the local human-induced pyrogenic effect at the Upper Paleolithic site can contribute to the discussion of the niche construction effect of human activities in the Pleistocene.     

应用核磁共振成像(NMRI)技术研究复合剂驱油特征

本文应用核磁共振成像技术,在均值、非均值模型中研究了复合剂驱油动态实验过程。观察及分析了复合剂驱油特征和效果,对复合剂驱油段塞前缘进行了实时跟踪,得到了复合剂驱油段塞前缘油墙的形成及剩余油分布与运移的二维图像,给出了复合剂驱油后,剩余油的饱和度分布曲线。实验表明:在层状非均值地层中,若渗透率差异大,复合剂段塞主要进入高渗层,而波及不到低渗层,即复合剂波及效率低。若渗透率差异小,复合剂段塞大部分进入高渗层,有少部分进入低渗层,即复合剂波及效率较高。     

长江三角洲地区TZK3孔碎屑锆石U-Pb年龄及其物源意义

以TZK3孔的磁性地层学为基础,结合沉积物的岩性、结构构造及锆石年龄谱系特征,探讨沉积物的物质来源及长江贯通的时限。古地磁结果表明:96.7 m、263.3 m、603.75 m分别对应B/M界线、M/G界线、晚上新世/早上新世的界线（3.58 Ma）。锆石年龄谱系数据显示,TZK3孔的U-Pb锆石年龄主要分为5组:100~300 Ma,400~500 Ma,700~850 Ma,1800~2000 Ma,2400~2600 Ma。其中3.7 Ma的锆石年龄谱相对简单,以白垩纪（100~150 Ma）为主,物质主要来自于长江中下游的火山盆地,为近源沉积。TZK3孔3.04 Ma以来,锆石年龄谱变得复杂且主峰相对较多,表明物源区更广且加入了远源的成分。3.04 Ma的锆石年龄谱中开始出现峨眉山玄武岩年龄段（251~260 Ma）的锆石,表明在此时期长江上游的物质就已到达了长江三角洲地区,即长江贯通的时限为3.04~3.7 Ma。      

新疆东昆仑-阿尔金地区航磁反映的断裂构造特征

本文根据最新的航磁资料,将东昆仑-阿尔金山地区按照不同的磁异常面貌特征进行了分区描述,其总体展布以北东和近东西向为主,磁异常具有明显的分区、分带性。同时辅以卫星重力资料,通过解析延拓、任意水平方向导数计算等处理,得到大量与断裂相关的地球物理场信息,并结合地质资料综合分析,揭示了研究区内断裂构造尤其是深大断裂在磁场上的特征。这些特征主要以不同磁场分界线、磁异常梯度带和串珠状异常等形式呈现,明显的表现为磁场分区、分带的界线。在此基础上,根据航磁资料解释和实际应用结果对深大断裂与成矿的关系进行了探讨。本文实例揭示已知的中小型矿床多位于深大断裂附近。     

桂西二叠系沉积型铝土矿鲕粒成因机制探讨

已有研究表明铝土矿中鲕粒的Al含量普遍高于基质,但鲕粒富集Al过程尚不清楚。本文通过对桂西地区铝土矿进行宏微观观察以及电子探针测试(EPMA)和X粉晶衍射分析,研究了矿石构造和元素地球化学变化规律,试图分析铝土矿中鲕粒生长机制。含矿岩系层序多变特征表明桂西铝土矿为陆相成因;鲕粒内部圈层Al含量大于50%,而Si含量小于1%,Fe含量波动于1%左右,证明矿石中鲕粒Al的含量比基质的高,同时硬水铝石的结晶程度亦较高;与鲕粒生成有密切关系的构造主要为凝胶和裂隙,两者为正反馈关系;胶体在分离过程中出现分凝,主要形成富铝、富硅和富铁凝胶,分凝过程中Fe、Si亲和性强,两者的迁移能力均高于Al。分析认为鲕粒形成于浅埋阶段,是一种凝胶的反复分凝过程,受控于湿润-干热气候,成鲕可大致分为3个阶段,即充水阶段、湿润阶段和干热阶段,成核机制为脱水收缩,圈层增长机制为成胶-凝胶老化交替。铝土矿型风化壳的物质搬运过程使鲕粒的圈层停止生长,形成夭折鲕,若条件有利则形成再生鲕。首次引入磁场的概念解释了鲕粒保持浑圆形习性的原因。     

Predicting the effect of biofouling on ship resistance using CFD

This paper proposes a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) based unsteady RANS model which enables the prediction of the effect of marine coatings and biofouling on ship resistance and presents CFD simulations of the roughness effects on the resistance and effective power of the full-scale 3D KRISO Container Ship (KCS) hull.Initially, a roughness function model representing a typical coating and different fouling conditions was developed by using the roughness functions given in the literature. This model then was employed in the wall-function of the CFD software and the effects of a typical as applied coating and different fouling conditions on the frictional resistance of flat plates representing the KCS were predicted for a design speed of 24 knots and a slow steaming speed of 19 knots using the proposed CFD model. The roughness effects of such conditions on the resistance components and effective power of the full-scale 3D KCS model were then predicted at the same speeds. The resulting frictional resistance values of the present study were then compared with each other and with results obtained using the similarity law analysis. The increase in the effective power of the full-scale KCS hull was predicted to be 18.1% for a deteriorated coating or light slime whereas that due to heavy slime was predicted to be 38% at a ship speed of 24 knots. In addition, it was observed that the wave resistance and wave systems are significantly affected by the hull roughness and hence viscosity.
