The dip equator over Peninsular India and its secular movement

A ground geomagnetic survey conducted in peninsular India has demarkated the dip equator for the epoch 1991.0. A well-defined southward migration in the last two decades is evident. The secular trend in the vertical component and the direction of the migration in the India zone are shown to be consistent. The migratory movement of the dip equator in different longitude sectors is compared to highlight the complex nature of the secular trends.     

构造应力作用下流体运动的动力学分析——构造流体动力学

本文从流体动力学的基本规律出发,应用渗流力学、岩土力学及弹性力学的理论及方法,推导出了考虑应力状态的可变形介质中流体运动的动力学方程,由该方程可以看出：应力状态是影响流体运动的一个非常重要的因素,它通过３种方式来影响流体的运动,其一是：应力的作用改变介质的渗透性能,从而影响流体运动;其二是：平均正应力的变化速率影响介质的含流体能力,它以源汇项的形式反映在方程中;其三是：应力的作用影响流场的初始状态及边界状态,通过影响定解条件反映在动力学方程中,从而影响运动特征。构造应力场对流体运动的最终影响是这３方面作用     

嘉黎断裂带活动性研究进展

嘉黎断裂是一条横贯青藏高原东南部的大型走滑断裂,在印度和欧亚板块碰撞前后通过调整应力平衡发挥着重要作用.本文根据前人对嘉黎断裂的研究成果,从地质学和地球物理学的角度,系统地总结分析嘉黎断裂带构造背景、壳幔结构、晚第四纪和现今的活动性质和速率.基于地质学方法,搜集前人在测年方面的研究结果,限定断裂的活动年限以及活动速率.同时在东段的北侧分支嘎龙寺附近,采用光释光测年法增加两个测年点,完善活动速度资料,并对断裂自西向东不同部位的走滑速率和错动断距进行对比分析.基于地球物理学观测资料,分析地震活动性和壳幔物质的速度结构、各向异性等参数,利用波形拟合方法,新增18个3~5级地震的震源机制解.结果表明,嘉黎断裂现今的构造变形主要表现为右旋走滑运动,但是在不同的分段具有显著的差异性,新生的西兴拉—达木分支是地震最活跃的区域.在此基础上,探讨青藏高原的构造演化过程,分析东构造结地区构造运动的稳定性,为川藏铁路雅安—林芝段工程建设地质灾害风险评估提供必要参考资料.     

暴雨作用下排土场平台–边坡系统土壤侵蚀过程模拟研究

为了探究冻融循环作用对土体结构和力学性质的影响机理,以内蒙古元宝山露天煤矿内排土场典型黏土为研究对象,采用室内冻融循环试验和MatDEM数值模拟,进行土体内部温度场、水分场和应力场的模拟分析。结果表明：排土场土料经过冻融循环后发生冻缩现象;低围压时应力−应变曲线呈现应变软化型,发生剪切破坏,围压升高后向应变硬化型转变,发生剪胀破坏;抗剪强度的劣化受前3次冻融作用的影响最为显著,在第3次达到最低值;温度的传递过程可划分为温度快速下降、缓慢相变过程、继续降温、温度稳定4个阶段;水分运移主要在温度传递的前2个阶段发生,且第二阶段的水分运移量居多;颗粒受冻融作用后整体半径缩小、分散性增大;温度和水分运移引起的颗粒胀缩、冰−水相变、冷生结构的形成等,导致颗粒的大小、位置、连接状态和颗粒间的应力等反复变化,共同驱动土体产生不可逆的结构性损伤,进而造成强度劣化。水分运移不仅为冷生构造的生长提供水源条件,还产生溶蚀、冲刷破坏,与水的相变共同成为冻融循环作用导致土体发生结构调整和应力场变化的主要原因。通过离散元法模拟冻融循环,有助于了解土体内部的力学特征和强度劣化机理,为冻区露天煤矿内排土场边坡及其他工程建设的稳定性研究提供参考。

Testing mathematical uranium migration models in combined ESR/U-series dating of fossil teeth from open-air sites

Several mathematical models have been suggested to describe uranium migration kinetics for ESR dating of fossil tooth. In the present study, different U-uptake models were used to calculate ages for fossil teeth from two open-air Paleolithic sites in Nihewan Basin – Donggutuo and Hougou and compared with independent age control of the sites. For Donggutuo site, the results show that the ages of three teeth calculated by EU and AU models were much younger than magnetostratigraphic age. At Hougou site, two teeth from the top of Nihewan lacustrine deposits give the consistent EU and AU ages within errors but younger than sediment OSL age. This study indicates that mathematical modeling could not always give convincing results for the open-air sites, which may experience dramatic hydrological variations and high erosion rates.     

Effectiveness of structural control based on control energy perspectives

A computational algorithm for maximizing the control efficiency in actively controlling the elastic structural responses during earthquake is proposed. Study of optimal linear control using a single degree of freedom shows that applying active control is very effective in reducing the structural displacement and velocity responses for long‐period structures, but at the same time it has an adverse effect in increasing the absolute acceleration response. The extent of this adverse effect reduces the effectiveness of the control system, and therefore it poses a limit on the maximum control force in order to provide maximum control efficiency. In view of this shortcoming, maximum control energy dissipation is used to define the most effective optimal linear control law. Less displacement and velocity response are expected as larger control force is applied, but there is always a limit that maximum control energy can be dissipated. This study shows that this limit depends on the structural characteristics as well as the input ground motion, and a general trend is that the maximum control energy decreases as damping increases. Finally, application of the proposed algorithm on a six‐storey hospital building is presented to show the effectiveness of using optimal linear control on a multi‐degree‐of‐freedom system from the control energy perspectives.

Automatic Location of Swarm Earthquakes from Local Network Data

An advanced method of automated seismic phase picking and exact location and magnitude determination of swarm micro-earthquakes from local network data is presented. The phase picker is applied in two steps: first, S-wave groups are identified using a polarisation detector, and then corresponding P-wave groups are searched for. The times of maximum P- and S-amplitudes are then used as starting points for the determination of accurate P- and S-arrival times. The maximum S-wave amplitudes are utilised for determining local magnitudes. The whole procedure is checked by simultaneous preliminary hypocentre location providing estimates of local magnitudes and a compatibility check of the candidate P- and S-phases. The closest station to the earthquake cluster is used as a master, and the phase search at the remaining stations is governed by the P- and S-phases identified at the master station. Thanks to the use of apriori information on the approximate position of hypocentres, the procedure is also capable of picking the individual P- and S-phases of sequences of overlapping swarm events. The performance of the procedure was tested by comparison of the automatically and interactively created catalogues of the January 1997 NW-Bohemia micro-earthquake swarm. With stations located at epicentral distances between 0 and 20 km, the difference between hypocentre coordinates obtained by automatic and interactive processing did not exceed 80 m for 86% events. All events above magnitude 0.5 were identified, and the automatically determined polarity of first P-wave motion proved to be correct in 89% of them.
