Non-stationary random vibrations of a shear beam under high frequency seismic effects

Band-limited, non-stationary random vibrations of a shear beam are studied in order to investigate high frequency seismic effects on building structures. A solution for the evolutionary spectral density of the shear beam response to a time segment of band-limited white noise is given in a closed form. The root mean square (rms) and peak response of the shear beam are studied for two characteristic frequency bands: the conventional 1–4 Hz and higher frequency 4–16 Hz, characteristic for rockburst ground motion. Applying the criterion of equal excitation intensity with constant rms velocity, both responses are analyzed in detail and compared. The “switching off” fundamental mode for high frequency excitations results in characteristic overshoot of the stationary response level by the non-stationary rms response and an amplification of the response in the upper part of the shear beam.     

Numerical simulation research on multi-electrodes resistivity imaging survey array

Multi-electrodes Resistivity Imaging Survey （MRIS） is an array method of electrical survey. In practice how to choose a reasonable array is the key to get reliable survey results. Based on four methods of MRIS such as Wenner, Schlumberger, Pole-pole and Dipole-dipole the authors established the model, by studying the result of the forward numerical simulation modeling and inverse modeling, and analyzed the differences among the different forms of detection devices.     

基于地震反演方法的奥陶系顶部含隔水层探测

在山西阳泉泊里矿区,太原组K₂灰岩是15号煤层上部主要的含水层,查明其富水分布特征对上下组煤层安全开采至关重要。为了准确得到K₂灰岩的富水分布区域,首先,利用常规的波阻抗反演获取精确的K₂灰岩空间展布特征。然后,结合皮尔逊相关系数法与交叉验证−逐步回归法优选出9种地震属性,构成网络的训练数据。此外,引入适合于时序数据处理且能够捕捉测井曲线前后相关性的长短期记忆神经网络(LSTM),构建智能化、多变量LSTM视电阻率预测模型,以精确地预测研究区视电阻率进而得到地层富水性分布特征。同时,分别利用常规多属性回归算法与多变量LSTM模型在井点位置建立电阻率测井曲线与地震属性井旁道之间的映射关系。最后,将井点处训练好的网络模型推广至无井区得到全区视电阻率体,根据视电阻率值的高低、矿区地质构造与陷落柱发育情况圈定灰岩富水区。实际数据的测试结果表明：与常规多属性回归算法相比,多变量LSTM模型预测误差小,与测井相关系数高,说明多变量LSTM模型可以更加精确地预测出工区视电阻率,在含煤地层的富水性预测中有较好的应用价值。\t\t\t\t

Heterogeneity influences on stream water–groundwater interactions in a gravel-dominated floodplain

ABSTRACT

Floodplains are composed of complex depositional patterns of ancient and recent stream sediments, and research is needed to address the manner in which coarse floodplain materials affect stream–groundwater exchange patterns. Efforts to understand the heterogeneity of aquifers have utilized numerous techniques typically focused on point-scale measurements; however, in highly heterogeneous settings, the ability to model heterogeneity is dependent on the data density and spatial distribution. The objective of this research was to investigate the correlation between broad-scale methodologies for detecting heterogeneity and the observed spatial variability in stream/groundwater interactions of gravel-dominated alluvial floodplains. More specifically, this study examined the correlation between electrical resistivity (ER) and alluvial groundwater patterns during a flood event at a site on Barren Fork Creek, in the Ozark ecoregion of Oklahoma, USA, where chert gravels were common both as streambed and as floodplain material. Water table elevations from groundwater monitoring wells for a flood event on 1–5 May 2009 were compared to ER maps at various elevations. Areas with high ER matched areas with lower water table slope at the same elevation. This research demonstrated that ER approaches were capable of indicating heterogeneity in surface water–groundwater interactions, and that these heterogeneities were present even in an aquifer matrix characterized as highly conductive. Portions of gravel-dominated floodplain vadose zones characterized by high hydraulic conductivity features can result in heterogeneous flow patterns when the vadose zone of alluvial floodplains activates during storm events.

高密度电法在岩溶探测中的应用

Multi-electrode resistivity method is equipped with various electrode array configurations. Due to their different electrode arrangements, various electrode array configurations tend to exhibit significantly varying detection effects under different survey environments. Hence, to achieve satisfactory detection effects using high-resolution electrical resistivity tomography, it is necessary to explore the strategy for choosing appropriate array configurations targeting different objects in practical work. Given the high applicability of the method, its forward and inversion calculations remain a critical task. Based on the differential equations to be satisfied by the point source potential in a three-dimensional structure, this study derived the variational problem to be satisfied by the 2.5D potential and conducted the unstructured gridding using the Delaunay triangulation algorithm, thus achieving finite-element forward modeling. By combining practical applications, this study designed common geological models and performed forward and inverse calculations using Wenner A new theoretical solution of the effect of atmospheric pressure on water level     

Acceleration response modification factors for nonstructural components attached to inelastic moment‐resisting frame structures

A statistical analysis of the peak acceleration demands for nonstructural components (NSCs) supported on a variety of stiff and flexible inelastic regular moment‐resisting frame structures with periods from 0.3 to 3.0 s exposed to 40 far‐field ground motions is presented. Peak component acceleration (PCA) demands were quantified based on the floor response spectrum (FRS) method without considering dynamic interaction effects. This study evaluated the main factors that influence the amplification or decrease of FRS values caused by inelasticity in the primary structure in three distinct spectral regions namely long‐period, fundamental‐period, and short‐period region. The amplification or decrease of peak elastic acceleration demands depends on the location of the NSC in the supporting structure, periods of the component and building, damping ratio of the component, and level of inelasticity of the supporting structure. While FRS values at the initial modal periods of the supporting structure are reduced due to inelastic action in the primary structure, the region between the modal periods experiences an increase in PCA demands. A parameter denoted as acceleration response modification factor (R_acc) was proposed to quantify this reduction/increase in PCA demands. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
