Energetics of the Tsunami of 26 December 2004 in the Indian Ocean: A Brief Review

The energetics of the most destructive tsunami in historical time, and that of the under ocean earthquake that triggered this tsunami of 26 December 2004 in the Indian Ocean have been briefly reviewed. This latest tsunami has several other unique characteristics besides being one of the worst natural disasters in human history. It is the first truly global tsunami after modern seismographic and sea level monitoring networks have been put in place. It was the first tsunami on record detected by a satellite, even though at present, global satellite coverage of the oceans for real time tsunami detection is not adequate. Finally, the energy associated with the tsunami and the earthquake that triggered it is so large that speculation has been made about the normal modes of oscillation of the earth, that were triggered by the earthquake as well as some suggestions, that some of the earth's rotational characteristics may have temporarily changed to a discernible degree. Here, we briefly review the energetics of the tsunami and the earthquake that triggered it.

多失效模式下基于区间非概率的岩质隧道稳定可靠度分析

对于岩质隧道工程的稳定可靠度分析,一方面由于岩体参数的统计数据获取困难使得概率可靠度方法难以适用,另一方面其工程稳定与多种失效模式密切相关,须考虑隧道结构体系的可靠度问题。首先,基于区间理论,通过区间变量形式表征不确定性参数;然后,针对岩质隧道工程中多种失效模式并存的情况,引入结构体系可靠度理念,建立基于区间非概率的岩质隧道结构体系可靠度指标计算及其稳定性评价方法;在此基础上,通过工程实例验证了该方法的合理性;最后,定义不确定性参数的波动幅度,进一步分析各失效模式中不同参数对相应可靠度指标以及结构体系可靠度指标的影响。分析结果表明,各失效模式相应的非概率可靠度指标均随区间变量范围的增大而降低,且同一参数在不同失效模式中表现出不同的影响;另外,不确定性参数的变化还将导致影响岩质隧道结构体系稳定的主要失效模式发生相应的变化。     

HHT技术探测Slichter模三重谱线的研究

探测Slichter模态三重分裂可有效约束内核密度、内核半径及内外核边界密度跳跃。虽然Smylie(1992)声称探测到了Slichter模态三重分裂,但至今未被国际学术界公认。本文结合一个实验算例,阐述了Hilbert-Huang变换(HHT)分析方法的核心思想,并将该方法应用于探测Slichter模三重分裂谱线的研究。我们选取了全球分布的8个台站连续记录两年的小时间隔超导重力数据,进行了潮汐和气压改正后,将它们叠加获得重力残差;然后对重力残差作HHT分析,得到能量谱,进而选出了12种可能的谱峰组合,其中两组结果与Smylie的结果很接近,且本文得到的谱峰分裂相比于Smylie的结果具有更好的对称性。     

城市发展转型研究进展及展望

城市发展转型是城市经济社会发展的必然趋势。通过对城市发展转型的内涵、内容、影响因素、模式等方面的深入分析,认为目前城市发展转型研究多是注重资源型城市转型而忽视一般性区域中心城市转型,注重城市经济转型而忽视城市文化与社会转型,注重定性研究而忽视定量研究。今后应加强一般性区域中心城市转型研究,突出城市发展转型中的软环境研究,推进不同发展水平城市转型的比较研究,注重城市转型中定性与定量相结合的系统性研究。     

基阶和高阶瑞雷波频散曲线反演对比分析

通过瑞雷波频散曲线反演,可以建立近地表横波速度模型。瑞雷波频散曲线具有多个模态,一般情况下,基阶模态是具有最大能量的模态。目前对瑞雷波频散曲线的反演大多数是基于基阶模态,对于高阶模态的反演比较少。通过对基阶和高阶瑞雷波频散曲线反演对比分析,认为高阶模态和基阶模态频散曲线反演有比较好的一致性趋势,相对而言高阶模态频散曲线反演的横波速度比基阶要高;高阶和基阶模态能量加权反演,不仅保留了频散曲线基阶模态能量强,勘探深度深的特点,而且对浅层低速层也具有更好的响应,可有效提高反演的精度。     

Asymptotic eigenfrequencies of the Earth's normal modes

We derive asymptotic formulae for the toroidal and spheroidal eigenfrequencies of a SNREI earth model with two discontinuities, by considering the constructive interference of propagating SH and P-SV body waves. For a model with a smooth solid inner core, fluid outer core and mantle, there are four SH and 10 P-SV ray parameters regimes, each of which must be examined separately. The asymptotic eigenfrequency equations in each of these regimes depend only on the intercept times of the propagating wave types and the reflection and transmission coefficients of the waves at the free surface and the two discontinuities. If the classical geometrical plane-wave reflection and transmission coefficients are used, the final eigenfrequency equations are all real. In general, the asymptotic eigenfrequencies agree extremely well with the exact numerical eigenfrequencies; to illustrate this, we present comparisons for a crustless version of earth model 1066A.
