VARIATION OF THE TRAVEL TIME DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TELESEISMIC PS CONVERTED WAVE AND PP TRANSMITTED WAVE IN FOCAL REGION BEFORE AND AFTER WENCHUAN MS8.0 EARTHQUAKE

When P waves from distant earthquakes meet a velocity discontinuity in the earth's crust and upper mantle, they give rise to a series of converted PS waves besides PP refracted waves. It is possible to monitor the variation of the physical properties of the medium in the limited formation space above the transition zone of the seismogenic zone by measuring the time difference between the teleseismic PS converted wave and the first arrival P wave, that is, time-variation Δt_PS=t_PS-t_P. The advantage of this method is that the transition point of the teleseismic source with similar source is relatively stable at the transition interface, and the accuracy of the measured relative time is high, and the change of the medium in a small range of the seismogenic zone above the conversion interface can be monitored. This paper studies the variation of the travel time difference Δt_PS in focal region before and after Wenchuan M_S8.0 earthquake. We select 2001 to 2012 as the research period, use teleseismic waveforms which occurred in the southern region of Sumatra and Hindu Kush area recorded by Sichuan station YZP and JJS. These teleseisms satisfy 5.0 ≤ M ≤ 6.5, and their waveform signal-to-noise ratio is high with clear initial P-wave motion. The epicentral distance of teleseisms is less than 3 degrees. Then we obtain the variation of the travel time difference Δt_PS between teleseismic PS converted wave and PP transmitted wave recorded during the study period in the two stations. The results show that there is a slow increasing trend of Δt_PS before 2006, and an obvious low value process of Δt_PS appeared in the period about 2 years before the Wenchuan earthquake. The maximum decline was about 0.2~0.3s, more than 4~5 times the measurement error. The low value has a certain degree of return about 2~3 months before the earthquake. The change of arrival time difference indicates that the medium is in different states in different periods of seismogenic process. The sharp decrease in Δt_PS from 2006 to January 2008 may be due to the strong disturbance caused by the stress accumulation of the medium. At this stage, the velocity of P wave and S wave increases with the increase of stress, and the increase of S wave velocity will result in the decrease of Δt_PS. The change of Δt_PS is greatly affected by S wave velocity, so Δt_PS appears to decrease rapidly. Regarding the low value that has a certain degree of return about 2~3 months before the Wenchuan earthquake, the possible reason is that the release of stress is much higher than the accumulation of stress in meta-instability stage. At this stage, the velocity of S wave decreases and the decrease of S wave causes Δt_PS to increase. Then, the Wenchuan earthquake of magnitude 8.0 occurred. It is shown that the teleseismic converted wave method in this paper can monitor the variation of medium's wave velocity before large earthquakes, and it has a good prospect in seismic monitoring and worth further experimental study.

2017年9月4日河北临城M_L4.4地震震源深度测定

震源深度是地震定位中的重要参数之一。对于一个地震,sPn与Pn震相到时差是一个常量,与震中距无关,只与震源深度和地壳模型有关。基于该理论,以河北数字台网数据为基础,识别sPn震相和Pn震相,计算2017年9月4日河北临城ML4.4地震震源深度,结果为6.86km。双差定位法是目前确定震源深度比较精确的方法,双差定位得到的震源深度为7.01km。双差定位法所用数据量比较大,计算过程繁杂。利用sPn与Pn到时差计算震源深度的结果与双差定位法结果接近,计算快速、简单,所需数据量小。因此,将该方法应用到实际工作中,可以快速、准确地测定近震震源深度。     

地磁低点时间与经度的相关性分析

地磁低点时间在空间分布上的主要特征是随着经度变化而变化。为了求出这种变化关系的解析式,首先使用国家地磁台网的数据计算甘肃省近三年13个地磁台站的低点时间序列和低点时间的期望,并绘制了低点时间序列的频次分布图和概率密度曲线;然后对低点时间与台站经度的关系做线性回归,并指出这个线性回归方程应无限趋近于“格林尼治时间-经度”关系式。文章第一次提出台站经度与地磁Z分量低点时间的关系式,并提出它的趋近方程。各台站低点时间的期望就是地磁低点时间的正常背景值,它是判定地磁低点时间异常与否的参考标准。本文的工作完善和发展了丁鉴海先生的地磁低点位移法。

高墩大跨度刚构桥抗震加固有限元分析

大跨刚构桥结构桥跨较长和受力复杂。为提高抗震性能,需要对加固前后的桥梁进行抗震性能研究。以某双肢薄壁型高墩大跨度刚构桥为背景,采用ANSYS程序APDL语言,对结构进行合理的参数选取、网格划分和边界约束,结合抗震等级和桥梁规范等有关规定,研究整体结构在地震作用下的变化规律。通过沿墩高方向获取节点的方法,确定在地震作用下,各节点的最大位移从下到上逐渐增大。选取桥墩双肢相同部位各节点进行横向比较,总结得出双肢薄壁桥墩具有平分荷载和延长寿命的特点。为提高桥梁整体抗震性能,采取联结桥墩增大截面的方式进行加固,对比加固前后两模型在同一地震作用下的结构响应,得出该方法在提高结构整体刚度方面,效果显著。     

吉林省夹皮沟金矿带几个重要地质问题的讨论

夹皮沟金矿带位于吉林省东南部桦甸地区。自1820 年发现以来,已累计探明黄金地质储量150 吨左右。该金矿带位于中朝古板块北缘东段与布列亚-佳木斯地块南缘的碰撞对接部位附近。区内发育5 条平行的NW 向含矿构造带,其北端均以锐角交汇于挥发河断裂。有别于前人的研究成果,本文提出夹皮沟金矿带恰好位于高级区与夹皮沟花岗-绿岩带的接触部位,形成以夹皮沟金矿化带为中心的矿化分带。夹皮沟金矿带为中生代成矿,夹皮沟NW 向弧形构造片理化带及其上盘扇状断裂系控制着金矿床的分布。在主要NW 构造带之间,还存在一系列与之平行的次级构造,它们与扇状断裂的交汇点及扇状构造系中的横向应力集中带是金矿化定位的有利部位。     

Controls on suspended‐sediment transfer at a high‐arctic glacier,determined from statistical modelling

Simple linear regression models have been widely employed in the analysis of suspended‐sediment concentration (SSC) time series from glacierized catchments, although they have many limitations. This paper builds regression models which address these shortcomings and permit inferences concerning the controls on suspended‐sediment transfer from a glacier at 78°N in the Svalvard archipelago. A bivariate regression model, deterministically predicting SSC from discharge alone, explained less than 15 per cent of the variance in SSC. A multivariate model, incorporating additional potentially explanatory variables, offered little improvement. Diurnal hysteresis in the data gives rise to quasi‐autocorrelation in the residual series from regression models. This was effectively removed by incorporating dummy diurnal variables into the multivariate model. The presence of a first‐order autoregressive, stochastic process gives rise to true autocorrelation in the residual series from regression models. This was accommodated by incorporating an ARIMA (1,0,0) term into a multivariate autoregression model. The model‐building process yielded a systematic progression in the explanation of variance in SSC, stripping away pattern in the autocorrelation function of the residual series; mean model error was reduced from 54 per cent to 6 per cent. The dependence of SSC on the magnitude of discharge is weak and highly variable, whereas the dependence of current SSC on recent values of SSC, revealed through the stochastic term, is an order of magnitude greater and relatively constant during the melt season. The dominant control on SSC throughout the melt season is therefore short‐term sediment availability. The simple and largely unchanging stochastic process generally responsible for generating the observed SSC series implies a simple and unchanging glacier drainage system.
