Free vibration analysis of antisymmetric laminated rectangular plates with distributed patch mass using third-order shear deformation theory

A free vibration analysis of laminated composite plates carrying a distributed patch mass is analyzed and presented in this paper. The Hamilton's Principle, using third-order shear deformation theory, is applied to simply supported rectangular plates. The displacement of the plate is postulated by a double Fourier series. The effects of size and location of the distributed patch mass on the response of the plate are also presented. A thorough comparison with well known published results is presented for the case of free vibration of unloaded plates and good agreement is observed.

Is proximity to land-based sources of coral stressors an appropriate measure of risk to coral reefs? An example from the Florida Reef Tract

Localized declines in coral condition are commonly linked to land-based sources of stressors that influence gradients of water quality, and the distance to sources of stressors is commonly used as a proxy for predicting the vulnerability and future status of reef resources. In this study, we evaluated explicitly whether proximity to shore and connections to coastal bays, two measures of potential land-based sources of disturbance, influence coral community and population structure, and the abundance, distribution, and condition of corals within patch reefs of the Florida Reef Tract. In the Florida Keys, long-term monitoring has documented significant differences in water quality along a cross-shelf gradient. Inshore habitats exhibit higher levels of nutrients (DIN and TP), TOC, turbidity, and light attenuation, and these levels decrease with increasing distance from shore and connections to tidal bays. In clear contrast to these patterns of water quality, corals on inshore patch reefs exhibited significantly higher coral cover, higher growth rates, and lower partial mortality rates than those documented in similar offshore habitats. Coral recruitment rates did not differ between inshore and offshore habitats. Corals on patch reefs closest to shore had well-spread population structures numerically dominated by intermediate to large colonies, while offshore populations showed narrower size-distributions that become increasingly positively skewed. Differences in size-structure of coral populations were attributed to faster growth and lower rates of partial mortality at inshore habitats. While the underlying causes for the favorable condition of inshore coral communities are not yet known, we hypothesize that the ability of corals to shift their trophic mode under adverse environmental conditions may be partly responsible for the observed patterns, as shown in other reef systems. This study, based on data collected from a uniform reef habitat type and coral species with diverse life-history and stress-response patterns from a heavily exploited reef system, showed that proximity to potential sources of stressors may not always prove an adequate proxy for assigning potential risks to reef health, and that hypothesized patterns of coral cover, population size-structure, growth, and mortality are not always directly related to water quality gradients.     

Soil hydrological and erosional responses in areas of woody encroachment, pasture and woodland in semi-arid Australia

In arid and semi-arid areas, woody encroachment is the increase in density, cover, extent and/or biomass of woody plants. Woody encroachment is often associated with increased runoff and soil erosion. Hydrological and erosional responses of woody encroachment and of pastures established after management of encroachment in semi-arid Australia are not well understood. This study compared the hydrological and erosional responses across vegetation states comprising woody plant encroachment (>1200 stems ha⁻¹), recently established pastures (<23 years of age), long-established pasture (50-100 years of age) and open woodland (<330 stems ha⁻¹) in semi-arid eastern Australia. Responses were measured using rainfall simulation with intensity of 35 mm h⁻¹ for 30 min applied on 1 -m² plots. Runoff and sediment production did not differ significantly between vegetation states. Average runoff in woody encroachment was 9.0 mm h⁻¹, followed by recent pasture (8.2 mm h⁻¹), long-established pasture (5.9 mm h⁻¹) and open woodland (4.2 mm h⁻¹). Total sediment production in recent pasture was 11.6 g m⁻², followed by woody encroachment (9.0 g m⁻²), long-established pasture (7.3 g m⁻²) and open woodland (4.3 g m⁻²). Runoff and sediment production were significantly lower at one pasture site (0.9 mm h⁻¹ and 1.3 g m⁻²) where rotational grazing and minimum tillage had been implemented than in the adjacent paired woody encroachment site (10.3 mm h⁻¹and 6.5 g m⁻², respectively). This example of a pasture that had been managed to increase ground cover illustrated the effect of pasture management on reducing runoff and sediment production. Across all vegetation states, small scale runoff and sediment production were minimal or zero where total ground cover was 73% or higher.     

Surface and rheological properties of as-received colloidal goethite (α-FeOOH) suspensions: pH and polyethylenimine effects

The yield stress and zeta potential (ζ) of slurries prepared from as-received goethite were evaluated as a function of pH, solids concentration, cationic polyethylenimine (PEI) concentration and molecular weight (Mw). The goethite slurries displayed a maximum yield stress at the isoelectric point (pI). These slurries do not have a low pH dispersed region. The yield stress obeyed the yield stress–DLVO force model. The maximum yield stress displayed a dependence on the solids volume fraction to a power of 3.8.PEI adsorbed and changed both the surface chemistry and rheological yield stress of the slurries. At most additive concentration ranging from 0.1 to 0.4dwb% for PEI of Mw 600, 1800 and 70,000, the maximum yield stress of the slurries is larger than that with no adsorbed additives. At low PEI concentration of 0.1dwb%, the same maximum yield stress of 30 Pa was obtained for three Mws; 600, 1800 and 70,000 representing a 1.5-fold increase. The increased attraction between particles was attributed to charge patch attraction at low surface coverages and hydrogen bonding at high coverages. Adsorbed PEI decreased the yield stress at low pH. However complete dispersion was observed only for 0.4dwb% PEI with Mw 70,000, at pH below 7. Complete dispersion was not observed at high pH for the same polymer at all concentrations.     

Control of Carbonate Sedimentation and Reef Growth in Llandovery Sequences on the Northwestern Margin of the Yangtze Platform, South China

The later Telychian (late Llandovery, Silurian) sea-level highstand was a suitable setting for global carbonate deposition and reef growth in epeiric seas. However, evidence from the northwest margin of Yangtze Platform indicates that small carbonate platforms developed in rapidly-subsiding small basins and were principally controlled by muddy clastic input. In particular, sediments of the Ningqiang Formation, late Telychian, usually more than 2000 m thick, are mostly shales, but eight major units of discontinuous (15 km maximum width) and relatively thin (120 m maximum thickness) reef-bearing carbonates, which developed when the sedimentation rate apparently lessened, occur within a relatively short time interval. This interval is between upper griestonensis to spiralis-grandis graptolite biozones, estimated as a c. 2 Ma duration. More than 30 small- to medium-scale patch reefs occur in several parts of the sequence, but only within the carbonate units. Shelly faunas common throughout the sequence reveal water depth to have been shallow during deposition of the Ningqiang Formation equivalent to BA2–3, which has a depth range from low intertidal to the base of the photic zone. BA3 is interpreted as being no more than 60 m deep (Boucot, 1975), which is above normal wave base, frequently affected by storms (Chen et al., 1996), and is regarded as optimum depth for high diversity of Silurian faunas (Boucot, 1975; Brett, 1991). Thus, the rate of sediment accumulation kept pace with basement subsidence, and was a substantial factor for limiting reef growth. Sharp contacts between carbonate units and shales indicate that carbonate units are constrained by frequent inputs of terrigenous debris, as the major cause for termination of carbonate deposition. Therefore, carbonate platforms, and reefs they contained, formed during times when sediment input to the basin lessened and ended when it increased; present evidence does not allow correlation to modeled dry episodes, and we interpret the control to be principally tectonic. Overall, sedimentation in the region was terminated by the end of Telychian time by tectonic uplift of the Yangtze Platform; the southwestward migration of palaeocoastline shows this progression. Sedimentation ceased until Middle Devonian time. Ludlow marine transgression has been recognized in the offshore area of Ningjiang Bay.     

AutoPaCA:耦合过程-模式的城镇空间增长模拟模型

理解城镇增长过程、模式、机理并预判未来发展趋势,对优化城镇空间布局,促进城市可持续发展有重要意义。元胞自动机模型（Cellular Automata, CA）是研究城镇增长过程、模式的有效技术手段,但传统CA模型对城镇增长过程和空间模式的协同考虑不足。本研究构建了基于斑块（Patch）的城镇CA模型AutoPaCA,实现对城镇增长过程及空间模式的协同表征和精细控制,将城镇增长过程分为边缘增长和跳跃增长两种形式,并实现了对不同形式下城镇斑块位置、形状和面积大小的精细控制,同时考虑城镇空间模式的集聚性、整体形态及空间约束。此外,还提出使用景观格局分析法分析历史时期城镇增长过程和模式,并结合遗传算法实现对模型参数的地域化自动校正,降低人为主观因素对模拟结果的影响。将模型应用于长沙市1995—2035年的城镇增长模拟与多情景分析。结果表明,构建的AutoPaCA模型可以取得较好的模型精度,200次模拟结果的互异邻域相似性指数均值达到0.486;在生态保护情景下,长沙市城市内部生态结构保存完好,且表现出更为明显的长株潭一体化趋势,说明本研究提出的AutoPaCA模型及参数校正方法是有效的。
