Response of nonlinear soil‐MDOF structure systems subjected to distinct frequency‐content components of near‐fault ground motions

This paper is devoted to investigate the effects of near‐fault ground motions on the seismic responses of nonlinear MDOF structures considering soil‐structure interaction (SSI). Attempts are made to take into account the effects of different frequency‐content components of near‐fault records including pulse‐type (PT) and high‐frequency (HF) components via adopting an ensemble of 54 near‐fault ground motions. A deep sensitivity analysis is implemented based on the main parameters of the soil‐structure system. The soil is simulated based on the Cone model concept, and the superstructure is idealized as a nonlinear shear building. The results elucidate that SSI has approximately increasing and mitigating effects on structural responses to the PT and HF components, respectively. Also, a threshold period exists above which the HF component governs the structural responses. As the fundamental period of the structure becomes shorter and structural target ductility reduces, the contribution of the HF component to the structural responses increases, elaborately. Soil flexibility makes the threshold period increase, and the effect of the PT component becomes more significant than the HF one. In the case of soil‐structure system, slenderizing the structure also increases this threshold period and causes the PT component to be dominant. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Discussion of: A study on the application of the parallel seismic method in pile testing

This discussion is based on the paper by Lu et al. (2013) [1]. In this paper, the authors have presented a theoretical study on the PS testing based on the ray path theory and the elastodynamic finite integration technique. This discussion offers some comments on the proposed method for determining the pile length, the ray path of the first P wave arrival for PS testing and analysis results of that paper under discussion.

湖北省稻飞虱迁入高峰日后向轨迹模拟分析

稻飞虱是造成湖北省水稻大幅度减产原因之一。它是一种典型的气候型迁飞虫害,起飞、迁飞和沉降均与气象条件密切相关。本文采用高空气象场资料、植保站稻飞虱灯下监测资料,在个例分析基础上,利用质点轨迹、扩散及沉降模式HYSPLIT-4,模拟稻飞虱迁飞高峰日后向轨迹,分析湖北省稻飞虱迁飞路径和主要虫源。主要结论：（1）湖北省稻飞虱迁人主要路径有5条：西南路径、南路路径、东南路径、东路路径和东北路径;（2）春夏季稻飞虱迁入路径以西南路径比例最大,平均为47％;其次为南路和东南路径;（3）秋季稻飞虱迁入路径以东北路径比例最大,平均为30％,其次为西南路径,比例为23％;（4）秋季与春夏季相比,西南路径比例下降了24％,东北路径增加了22％,东路路径增加了8％,南路、东南路变化不大。（5）偏南方向（西南路、南路和东南路）三种路径之和春夏季为80％,秋季为55％,秋季比春夏季减少了25％;（6）综合春夏季、秋季,西南路径对湖北省全省都有较大影响,对南部的影响大于北部,偏北路径秋季影响大,南部和东南路径对江汉平原影响最大。（7）理论上稻飞虱虫源区在19°-25°N、90°-120°E之间,以东西向为长轴、南北向为短轴、面积约为3300km×660km的矩形区域内,越南、泰国、缅甸、柬埔寨和菲律宾等地是湖北稻飞虱初始虫源地,云南、贵州、两广、福建、湖南、江西和江淮等地区为湖北省稻飞虱的二次虫源地或三次虫源地。根据未来数值预报场进行质点前向轨迹模拟,综合分析虫源地是否有大量稻飞虱、是否符合起飞条件,目标地是否有下沉气流配合,可以开展稻飞虱迁入气象预报,此工作尚需进一步开展业务试验。     

城镇有限场地条件下的物探找水试验

为在城区强干扰环境、有限场地条件下进行物探方法找水,特利用等值反磁通瞬变电磁法,在湖南郴州市某城镇进行了野外试验。在地表调查和周边人文环境基础上,常规电测深等找水有效手段在城镇区域难以施工,面对这个难题利用等值反磁通瞬变电磁法进行试验,其利用对偶中心耦合装置消除了收发线圈感应耦合来消除干扰。首先根据地质信息设计了近似南北向的4条剖面,然后进行了发射频率试验并进行单点连续探测,最后利用探测结果绘制了多测道曲线和二维模拟断面等值线图并设计了钻孔。钻探验证结果表明:等值反磁通瞬变电磁法在强干扰、场地受限的城镇区域找水效果较好,是一种值得推广的新方法。     

Resistivity saturation in liquid iron–light-element alloys at conditions of planetary cores from first principles computations

We present a comprehensive analysis of electrical resistivity for liquid Fe–Si, Fe–S, and Fe–O alloys from first principles computations, covering the pressure/temperature conditions and major light element candidates inside the cores of terrestrial planets. By fitting optical conductivity with the Drude formula, we explicitly calculate the effective electron mean free path, and show that it becomes comparable to the interatomic distance for high densities and Si/S concentrations (Ioffe–Regel criterion). In approaching the Ioffe–Regel criterion, the temperature coefficient of resistivity decreases with compression for all compositions, eventually vanishes (Fe–Si), or even changes sign (Fe–S). Differences in resistivity and the degree of saturation between the iron alloys studied are explained in terms of iron–light element coordination numbers and their density dependence. Due to competing temperature and pressure effects, resistivity profiles along proposed core adiabats exhibit a small negative pressure gradient.
