Finite element modeling of heating phenomena of cracks excited by high-intensity ultrasonic pulses

A three-dimensional thermo-mechanical coupled finite element model is built up to simulate the phenomena of dynamical contact and frictional heating of crack faces when the plate containing the crack is excited by high-intensity ultrasonic pulses. In the finite element model, the high-power ultrasonic transducer is modeled by using a piezoelectric thermal-analogy method, and the dynamical interaction between both crack faces is modeled using a contact-impact theory. In the simulations, the frictional heating taking place at the crack faces is quantitatively calculated by using finite element thermal-structural coupling analysis, especially, the influences of acoustic chaos to plate vibration and crack heating are calculated and analysed in detail. Meanwhile, the related ultrasonic infrared images are also obtained experimentally, and the theoretical simulation results are in agreement with that of the experiments. The results show that, by using the theoretical method, a good simulation of dynamic interaction and friction heating process of the crack faces under non-chaotic or chaotic sound excitation can be obtained.     

Chemical weathering intensity and element migration features of the Xiashu loess profile in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province

The chemical weathering intensity and element migration features of the Xiashu loess profile in Zhenjiang are studied in this paper. (1) The Xiashu loess profile underwent moderate chemical weathering. It seems that the precipitation is a more important factor than the temperature in controlling the process of the chemical weathering. (2) The major elements such as Si, K, Na, Ca, Mg, Mn and P were migrated and leached, while the elements Fe and Ti were slightly enriched. The migration features of the major elements reveal that the Xiashu loess finished the primary process of chemical weathering characterized by leaching of Ca and Na, and almost reached the secondary process characterized by leaching of K. Except the elements Sr and Ga, other trace elements such as Th, Ba, Cu, Zn, Co, Ni, Cr and V were enriched. It might be caused by both the biogeochemical process and the adsorption of trace elements by clay mineral and organic materials. (3) The difference of element migration down the Xiashu loess profile reveals that the climate was warm and wet at the early-middle stage of the middle Pleistocene. At the end of the middle Pleistocene, it became dry and cool. At the early stage of the Late Pleistocene, the paleoclimate became warm and wet again. As a whole, the paleoclimate generally became drier and cooler in this region from the beginning of the middle Pleistocene.

穿透性地球化学在干旱戈壁荒漠覆盖区的应用——甘肃花牛山铅锌矿试验实例

干旱戈壁荒漠区地处我国西北部地区,天山、北山、祁连山三大多金属成矿带横贯其中,成矿条件优越,找矿尤其是找隐伏矿的潜力巨大,但受风成砂土的影响,很难获知覆盖层下方的矿化信息.穿透性地球化学已被证实是有效寻找隐伏矿的方法,其被定义为能探测深部隐伏矿体发出的直接信息的勘查地球化学理论与方法技术.笔者在花牛山铅锌矿开展土壤微细粒全量测量、金属活动态测量(水溶态测量、黏土吸附态测量、铁锰氧化物态测量)和地电化学测量多种穿透性地球化学勘查方法实测工作,结果表明,5种测量方法分析数据主成矿元素(铅、锌)异常衬度高,变异系数大,富集成矿可能性大,地球化学异常与深部隐伏矿体位置吻合,相比较而言,土壤微细粒全量测量效果最好,黏土吸附态测量、铁锰氧化物态测量和地电化学测量效果较好,水溶态测量效果稍差;所选方法技术针对干旱戈壁荒漠区寻找隐伏铅锌矿是有效的.气固介质中内生条件下的纳米金属微粒的发现为利用土壤作为采样介质的穿透性地球化学方法技术(土壤微细粒测量、金属活动态测量)提供了理论基础.电提取泡塑载体中大量的微米级的黏土矿物颗粒发现,以及微量元素异常与铁、铝等常量元素异常高度一致,初步推断地电化学测量提取过程是对黏土矿物颗粒选择性吸附过程.

有限元强度折减法在公路隧道中的应用探讨

将有限元强度折减法应用于隧道的稳定性评价。利用有限元强度折减法求得的安全系数与潜在滑动面,不仅可以评价隧道的稳定性和设计的合理性,还可以对支护参数和施工工艺提出改进建议。计算表明,泊松比? 的取值对塑性区范围影响很大,但对安全系数基本上没有影响;围岩等级越高,达到破坏状态时围岩的塑性区范围越大,破坏区却越小,安全系数越高;上覆岩体增厚,同类围岩塑性区范围和最大塑性应变值都增大,而安全系数减小。破坏时围岩等级高的隧道塑性区大,围岩等级低的反而小,因此,单纯根据塑性区范围大小来评判隧道的安全性是值得商榷的。     

Study on a new shear wall system with shaking table test and finite element analysis

A new seismic energy dissipation shear wall structure is proposed in this paper. The new shear wall is one with purposely built‐in vertical slits within the wall panel, and rubber belts as seismic energy dissipation devices are installed in the vertical slits. In order to verify this concept, shaking table tests of a 10‐storey shear wall model with rubber belts filled in the vertical slits were carried out, and comparison of seismic behaviour was made between the new shear wall system and a shear wall with reinforced concrete connecting beams as energy dissipation. Furthermore, the seismic behaviour of this new shear wall is analysed by a finite element time history analysis method. The test and analysis show that the new shear wall system has a very good ability to dissipate seismic energy and is easy to use in engineering practice.

湖相介形虫壳的稳定同位素和微量元素在古气候研究中的应用

本文介绍了测定实验室养殖的介形虫Candonarawsoni和水的氧同位素分馏系数,结果表明,这个种属的介形虫壳的氧同位素组成是它所生成环境水的氧同位素组成和水温的函数。因此,介形虫壳的氧同位素组成是一个很好的水化学环境指示计。本文研究了Candonarawsoni的脱壳温度范围,发现它可以在很宽温度范围内脱壳及生长新壳。由于季节温度变化很大,所以用介形虫壳的地球化学指标研究古环境的变化时,每个样品都要采集较多的个体介形虫壳,以使其分析结果能代表年平均温度。
