Modelling the impact of a time-varying wave angle on the nonlinear evolution of sand bars in the surf zone

Sandy beaches are often characterized by the presence of sand bars, whose characteristics (growth, migration speed, etc.) strongly depend on offshore wave conditions, such as wave height and angle of wave incidence. This study addresses the impact of a sinusoidally time-varying wave angle of incidence with different time-means on the saturation height, migration speed and longshore spacing of sand bars. Model results show that shore-transverse sand bars (so-called TBR bars) eventually develop under a time-varying wave angle. Depending on the time-mean, amplitude and period of the varying angle of wave incidence, the mean heights and mean migration speeds of the bars can be larger or smaller than their corresponding values in the case of time-invariant angles. Bars might not even form when the wave angle varies around a too large oblique mean value, whereas bars exist in the case of a time-invariant wave angle. The oscillations in both bar height and migration speed are large if the period of the time-varying wave angle is close to the adjustment timescale of the system and if large differences in the local growth and migration rates of the bars occur during one oscillation period. The oscillations in bar height are a combination of harmonics with the principal period and half the period of the time-varying wave angle, whereas those of migration speed contain only the principal period. Bars that are subject to time-varying wave angles have larger longshore crest-to-crest spacings than those which form under fixed wave angles. Physical explanations for these findings are given. © 2020 The Authors. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd     

多维地震激励下曲线梁桥简化模型及最不利输入方向研究

曲线梁桥只有在某一特定方向输入地震动时,结构某点或某截面的内力(或应力)才能达到最大值,需要沿多个可能方向输入计算才能确定地震动最不利输入方向。根据隔震曲线梁桥受力特点,将桥梁上部结构和桥墩简化均具有两个水平自由度和一个围绕质量中心轴扭转自由度的堆积质量模型,建立双质点六自由度简化分析模型,通过求解曲线梁桥的动力学方程研究结构的动力特性和地震动行为。算例表明,双质点模型计算结果与传统的有限元模型基本一致,且计算方法简单,可以考虑各种敏感因素的影响,借助编程更适合提出规律性的设计方法。进而在双质点模型基础上应用MATLAB编程探讨多维地震作用下曲线梁桥地震波最不利输入方向的问题,针对不同参数的隔震曲线梁桥,改变相关参数后只需运行一次就可以实现最不利输入角度的确定,可为有限元法最不利地震波输入方向的确定提供参考,并大大减少多个方向输入试算的工作量。

郯庐断裂带中-南段走滑构造特征与变形规律

在大别造山带东端和苏鲁造山带西端,郯庐断裂带存在着同造山期和早白垩世两期左旋走滑韧性剪切带,在张八岭隆起南段迄今为止只发现了早白垩世的走滑剪切带。这些剪切带由若干条小型韧性剪切带组成,带内糜棱岩都具有陡倾的糜棱面理和平缓的矿物拉伸线理。野外构造、显微构造及石英C轴组构皆指示了左旋走滑剪切指向。新生矿物组合和矿物变形行为分析显示大别山东端郯庐早、晚两期剪切带主要形成于中绿片岩相的变质温度环境,张八岭隆起南段剪切带主要形成于高绿片岩相的变质温度环境,苏鲁造山带西端郯庐早、晚两期剪切带则形成于高角闪岩相的变质温度环境。糜棱岩内基质中新生白云母的电子探针分析指示大别山东端和张八岭隆起南段出露的郯庐韧性剪切带形成于低压环境下,而苏鲁造山带西端的郯庐韧性剪切带形成于高压榴辉岩相环境。这些详细的构造研究显示:在华北与华南板块的碰撞造山期郯庐断裂带以左旋走滑构造型式存在,而在早白垩世太平洋构造域中它又再次发生了强烈的左行平移。

An Intelligent Method for Geochemical Discrimination of Tectonic Settings of Basalt Based on Olivine Composition: GWO-SVM Method and its VerificationEI北大核心CSCD

Geochemical discrimination of tectonic settings of basalts has been an important research direction of geochemistry for decades. Olivine is one of the earliest crystallized minerals of basaltic magma, which records a lot of hidden information of the formation and evolution of the magma. Therefore, basic elements in olivine are used to discriminate three tectonic settings, including the mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB), ocean island basalt (OIB) and island arc basalt (IAB). However, it is still difficult to accurately discriminate the tectonic settings by using these diagrams. The machine learning algorithm is introduced to solve the aforementioned problem. The classification performance of the machine learning discrimination method largely depends on the rationality of parameter determination. To this end, the paper proposes a coupling intelligent method for geochemical discrimination of tectonic settings using olivine composition of the basalts based on the grey wolf optimizer (GWO)-optimized support vector machine (SVM), or GWO-SVM for short. GWO is used to seek the optimal parameter combination of SVM to form the optimal mapping relationship between basic elements in olivine and basalt tectonic settings, so as to realize the accurate discrimination of MORB, OIB and IAB. In addition, according to the published geochemical data of basalt samples, the discrimination performance of GWO-SVM is evaluated by means of the simulation experiment, hold-out validation and k-fold cross-validation. The evaluation results are represented by the confusion matrix and its derived evaluation indicators. The results show that GWO-SVM can discriminate the tectonic settings of the basalts based on olivine compositions with overall classification accuracy of up to 85%. Thus, in comparison with the traditional discrimination diagram method, the machine learning discrimination method based on multi-algorithm fusion can significantly improve the discrimination accuracy of basalt tectonic settings. © 2020, Science Press.

岛礁吹填珊瑚砂力学行为与颗粒破碎特性试验研究

珊瑚砂是岛礁陆域吹填唯一的材料,因其特殊的海洋生物成因和孔隙结构特征,珊瑚砂颗粒在常规工程应力水平下就会发生破碎。通过对取自南海某吹填岛礁的珊瑚砂开展室内三轴固结排水剪切试验,研究珊瑚砂强度、变形参数和颗粒破碎程度随相对密实度、围压的演变规律,并与其他研究成果中的南海珊瑚砂强度参数进行对比分析。研究结果表明：珊瑚砂应变软化及剪胀特征随有效围压的增大、密实度的减小而逐渐减弱;在常规应力范围内,得到珊瑚砂峰值摩擦角和临界状态摩擦角的取值范围分别为33o～58o和28o～47o,且均随有效围压的增大而减小;建立了珊瑚砂割线模量E50与相对密实度、有效围压间的关系式;珊瑚砂峰值摩擦角与修正相对破碎指数Br*间的关系可用指数为负数的幂函数关系式拟合,且当颗粒破碎程度较高时,峰值摩擦角随修正相对破碎指数的增大而减小的趋势变缓;珊瑚砂修正相对破碎指数随塑性功的增大近似以双曲线的形式增长,密实度对两者间的关系影响不大。该研究成果可为南海岛礁基础设施的安全设计提供参考。
