Dynamical problem of micropolar viscoelasticity

The dynamic problem in micropolar viscoelastic medium has been investigated by employing eigen value approach after applying Laplace and Fourier transformations. An example of infinite space with concentrated force at the origin has been presented to illustrate the application of the approach. The integral transforms have been inverted by using a numerical technique to obtain the displacement components, force stresses, couple stress and microrotation in the physical domain. The results for these quantities are given and illustrated graphically.     

典型振动信号时-频分析方法研究

首先对比较简单的单分量信号和多分量信号进行时-频分析,对比了不同时-频分析方法(STFT、WD、Hilbert时-频谱分析、连续小波分析)的分析精度。结果表明对单分量信号和可以分解为若干单分量信号叠加的多分量信号,Hilbert时-频谱分析精度最好,WD和STFT次之,连续小波变换的精度最差;由于Hilbert时-频谱分析和WD方法要求信号为单分量信号或可以分解为若干单分量的信号,故其不适用于复杂信号的时-频分析;对多分量信号,STFT时-频谱较连续小波时-频谱精度高些。需要指出的是,当使用STFT方法时,取不同的窗参数,STFT的时-频分析精度相差很大,必须使用合适的窗参数,以取得较好的分析效果。此外还对El Centro波的两水平分量和人工合成的地震动进行了时-频分析,虽然STFT的时间分辨率和频率分辨率存在矛盾,但它对信号的适应性最强,对复杂信号的时-频分析精度一般可以满足需要,而连续小波变换进行信号的时-频分析时,时-频分辨精度最差,且对于大于30Hz的频率分量,随频率的增加,时-频分析的效果和精度迅速变差,说明小波变换并不适合于做时-频分析,尤其对于高频信号,用连续小波变换得到的时-频谱图看起来很粗糙,而且很难准确解释。进一步对比了真实地震动和人工地震动的时-频分布,认为用胡聿贤教授合成人工地震动的方法合成的地震动在时-频域上的分布和真实地震动相似。

重力异常三维反演——视密度成像方法技术的应用

将起伏地形上测量的重力异常,延拓至平均水平面;对平面上的重力场进行不同深度层源的切割分离;再将各层的重力场向下延拓至相应的深度,并反演出该深度层的密度结构.以此得到的密度,反映该深度层密度的近似分布,故称为视密度成像.在重力场的曲面向下延拓过程中,采用了新的延拓方法——迭代法,延拓深度大,延拓过程稳定;且不需解线性代数方程组,避开了制约三维反演实用化的计算时间的瓶颈问题.在主频1.73 GHz的微机上,完成71×81数据点反演的计算时间为10 s.以新疆一个地区的实例说明这种方法的反演效果.

Singularity and Nonnormality in the Classification of Compositional Data

Geologists may want to classify compositional data and express the classification as a map. Regionalized classification is a tool that can be used for this purpose, but it incorporates discriminant analysis, which requires the computation and inversion of a covariance matrix. Covariance matrices of compositional data always will be singular (noninvertible) because of the unit-sum constraint. Fortunately, discriminant analyses can be calculated using a pseudo-inverse of the singular covariance matrix; this is done automatically by some statistical packages such as SAS. Granulometric data from the Darss Sill region of the Baltic Sea is used to explore how the pseudo-inversion procedure influences discriminant analysis results, comparing the algorithm used by SAS to the more conventional Moore–Penrose algorithm. Logratio transforms have been recommended to overcome problems associated with analysis of compositional data, including singularity. A regionalized classification of the Darss Sill data after logratio transformation is different only slightly from one based on raw granulometric data, suggesting that closure problems do not influence severely regionalized classification of compositional data.     

On a Physically Realistic Fast Dynamo

As a step towards a physically realistic model of a fast dynamo, we study numerically a kinematic dynamo driven by convection in a rapidly rotating cylindrical annulus. Convection maintains the quasi-geostrophic balance whilst developing more complicated time-dependence as the Rayleigh number is increased. We incorporate the effects of Ekman suction and investigate dynamo action resulting from a chaotic flow obtained in this manner. We examine the growth rate as a function of magnetic Prandtl number Pm, which is proportional to the magnetic Reynolds number. Even for the largest value of Pm considered, a clearly identifiable asymptotic behaviour is not established. Nevertheless the available evidence strongly suggests a fast dynamo process.     

Generalisation of a Nonlinear Dynamo Model

In order to gain a better understanding of the physical processes underlying fast dynamo action it is instructive to investigate the structure of both the magnetic field and the velocity field after the dynamo saturates. Previously, computational results have been presented (Cattaneo, Hughes and Kim, 1996) that indicate, in particular, that Lagrangian chaos is suppressed in the dynamical regime of the dynamo. Here we extend their model by removing the assumption of neglecting the inertial term. This allows for an investigation into the effect of this term on the evolution of the dynamo via a comparison of the two models. Our results indicate that this term plays a crucial role in the physics of the dynamo.     

A new solution for a partially penetrating constant‐rate pumping well with a finite‐thickness skin

A mathematical model describing the constant pumping is developed for a partially penetrating well in a heterogeneous aquifer system. The Laplace‐domain solution for the model is derived by applying the Laplace transforms with respect to time and the finite Fourier cosine transforms with respect to vertical co‐ordinates. This solution is used to produce the curves of dimensionless drawdown versus dimensionless time to investigate the influences of the patch zone and well partial penetration on the drawdown distributions. The results show that the dimensionless drawdown depends on the hydraulic properties of the patch and formation zones. The effect of a partially penetrating well on the drawdown with a negative patch zone is larger than that with a positive patch zone. For a single‐zone aquifer case, neglecting the effect of a well radius will give significant error in estimating dimensionless drawdown, especially when dimensionless distance is small. The dimensionless drawdown curves for cases with and without considering the well radius approach the Hantush equation (Advances in Hydroscience. Academic Press: New York, 1964) at large time and/or large distance away from a test well. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
