The bridgman ring paradox revisited

The Bridgman ring experiment, in which a hard rubber ring slipped over a steel rod was observed to split when subjected to a hydrostatic confining pressure, was repeated with Pyrex glass rings. Three cases were studied, in which (a) both ring and rod were unjacketed, (b) the inner wall of the ring was sealed from the pressure medium and (c) both rod and ring were completely jacketed. In the first two cases the ring was observed to split abruptly, with a single axial crack when confining pressure reached a critical level. In the third case no abrupt failure occurred, but a number of axial cracks were found to have formed, grown stably, but not penetrated the outer wall of the ring. The first two cases are explained by hydraulic fracturing of the ring. Observations and analysis indicate that in the third case the cracks started at flaws on the inner surface of the ring and propagated outwards in a stable manner. This case, in which a tensile crack propagates in an all-around compressive stress field, provides some insight into axial cracking of rock in triaxial compression and tensile failure of rock under radial shock loading.

Shock-produced vapor-grown crystals in the Yanzhuang meteorite

Vapor-grown crystals intimately related to shock metamorphism of meteorites were found in the Yanzhuang (H6) chondrite which had been heavily impacted in the space. These crystals include: (i) subhedral low-Ca pyroxene occurring on the wall of the pores within a silicate melt pocket that experienced a shock temperature higher than 1500°C, (ii)Fe-Ni needle-whiskers (taenite) occurring in the cracks in the partially melted chondritic facies that experienced a shock temperature of 850–1300°C, (iii) troilite with abundant microholes occurring in the cracks in the brecciated facies and the lightly deformed chondritic facies that experienced a shock temperature lower than 850°C. The occurrence and mineralogical features of vapor-grown crystals show that vaporization of minerals could be produced in heavily impacted meteorites and that a small amount of crystals could be depositedin situ from vapor phases.

行星际中间激波

在行星际空间可能存在由各类激波连接而成的混合激波,其组成部分的连接方式和时间演化遵循“慢激波-导灭激波-中间激波-导生激波-快激波”链式规则.中间激波将作为混合激波的必要组成部分,出现在日球电流片的附近,其阵面凹向太阳.上述结论已初步为观测证实,并对行星际激波的三维特性有着重要影响.     

Variability of heat shock proteins and glutathione S-transferase in gill and digestive gland of blue mussel,Mytilus edulis

Glutathione S-transferase (GST) and heat shock proteins (hsps) 40, 60, 70 and 90 were determined by immunoblotting using actin as an internal control in Mytilus edulis from one station outside (site1) and three stations within (sites 2-4) Cork Harbour, Ireland. Comparisons were made between gill and digestive gland and between sites. Gill shows generally higher hsp 60, 70 and 90 while digestive gland has higher hsp 40. Site 1 showed higher gill hsps 40 and 70 than sites 2-4 while gill GST was higher in sites 3 and 4 than 1 and 2. Comparison with sites in the North Sea (site 5: outside Tj?rn? in The Koster archipelago in the Skagerack) and Baltic Sea (site 6: Ask? island) also revealed lower hsps 40 and 70 in site 6 (low salinity) than site 5 (high salinity) although hsps 60, 70 and 90 were detectable in digestive gland unlike sites 1-4. Previously, only hsp 70 had been studied at these sites [Mar. Environ. Res. 39. (1995), 181]. At the mRNA level, gill hsp 70 is 80-fold higher at Tj?rn? than Ask?. These data suggest that, while salinity may slightly decrease hsp 40 and 70, both hsp 70 and GST are selectively up-regulated by approx. 10- and 3-fold, respectively, at Tj?rn? compared to the other sites which we attribute to exposure to more widely fluctuating pollution levels.     

Dynamic Analysis for Structures Isolated with Dampers

- In this paper, mathematical models and dynamic analyses for both SDOF and MDOF structures isolated with dampers are established and performed, and a comprehensive computation method is provided. The shock absorbing effect is illustrated through an example of a two DOF damper-isolated system excited by sinusoidal waves and actual ground acceleration input recorded in earthquakes. It is shown that most of the responses of the structure with dampers reduce greatly near the resonant zone, but acceleration is enlarged in the lower or higher frequency zone; among various parameters, the influence of frictional coefficient n is the most significant, that of damping ratio of the dampers , is the second, and that of stiffness coefficient of the dampers k, is the slightest.     

The shock event of October 6, 1597 is a strong deep earthquake

A special earth shock event was recorded at 22 counties of the 7 provinces of eastern China on October 6, 1597, and 2 volcanic eruptions and seismic activities were recorded in Sanshui county, Xianjingbeidao, Korea at that day and the 3rd day. Because of the large range of this shock, low intensity, slow attenuation and no extreme-earthquake area, its epicenter and focus could not be determined onthe scientific-technological conditions at that time. In the Seismological Catalogue of China (GU, 1983) published in 1983, its epicenter was determined to be in the Bo Sea (38.5°N, 120.0°E), its magnitude was 7; and it was changed into 7.5 in the later Seismological Catalogue of Beijing; someone estimated it over 7(HUAN, 1989); someone thought that, it was a very large earthquake, might be a extraordinarily serious large one according to the scale of sensational range, reaching 8 (SHI, et al, 1985). The authors think that, the disputes on its magnitude and epicenter, and on deep or shallow earthquake show the complicities of this problem; further discussions about it will be helpful to the study on the seismic activity of the northern China area.     

行星际速度增幅扰动的演化

采用二维理想MHD模型，分别在日球赤道面（二维二分量模型）和日球子午面（二维 三分量模型）内研究太阳风中纯速度增幅扰动的演化. 结果表明，该扰动在向外传播的过程 中逐渐演化为双重激波对，即由4个激波组成的激波系统. 该4个激波按离太阳由近及远依次 为后向快激波、后向慢激波、前向慢激波和前向快激波. 双重激波对在子午面内相对扰动源 中心法线基本对称，而在赤道面内则不对称：扰动源中心法线西侧双重激波对结构更为明显 ，所跨经度范围宽于东侧. 初步分析表明，行星际磁场的螺旋结构是产生日球赤道面内双重 激波对结构东西不对称性的主要原因.
