Rheological and kinematical responses to flow of two-phase rocks

Numerical simulations have been performed to investigate the strain-dependent behaviour of rheological and kinematical responses to flow of two-phase rocks using the commercial finite-difference program FLAC2D. It was assumed that the two phases have Maxwell rheology. Plane strain and velocity boundary condition, which produces a simple shear deformation, were also assumed. Two types of geometries were considered: strong phase supported (SPS) and weak phase supported (WPS). We calculated strain-dependent variations of effective viscosity and partitioning of strain rate, vorticity and kinematic vorticity number during deformation in both SPS and WPS structure models.The results show that the strain-dependent behaviour is largely influenced by the geometry of the composite. SPS models show both strain hardening and strain softening during the simulations, with strain hardening preceding strain softening. A critical shear strain is necessary to begin the strain softening behaviour. Strain hardening and strain softening are accompanied by a reduction and an increase of the partition of strain rate into the weak phase, respectively. On the other hand, WPS models show only weak strain hardening and strain softening, being the strain-dependent behaviour close to a steady state flow. In addition, the following results are obtained on vorticity and kinematic vorticity number; (1) in both SPS and WPS models the partition of vorticity into weak phase increases with progressive shear strain, i.e. the strong phase becomes less rotational, (2) in SPS models weak inclusions changes from sub-simple shear to super-simple shear with progressive strain, whereas the strong matrix changes from super-simple shear to sub-simple shear, (3) in WPS models the strong inclusions with high viscosity contrasts are less rotational but can be in super-simple shear condition to high strains.The observed strain-dependent behaviours have been compared with previous proposed analytical models. The degree of agreement is variable. Balshin and Ryshkewitch–Duckworth models are only applicable to SPS models. Ji-generalized mixture rule model is applicable to both models.The results suggest that polyphase rocks with SPS structure during ductile shear deformation respond as strain softening materials, after an initial strain hardening stage that may drive to the strain localization into the material.

Development of shear localization in simulated quartz gouge: Effect of cumulative slip and gouge particle size

Frictional sliding experiments were conducted on two types of simulated quartz gouge (with median particle diameters 5 m and 25 m, respectively) at confining pressures ranging from 50 MPa to 190 MPa in a conventional triaxial configuration. To investigate the operative micromechanical processes, deformation texture developed in the gouge layer was studied in samples which had accumulated different amounts of frictional slip and undergone different stability modes of sliding. The spatial patterning of shear localization was characterized by a quantitative measurement of the shear band density and orientation. Shear localization in the ultrafine quartz gouge initiated very early before the onset of frictional sliding. Various modes of shear localization were evident, but within the gouge zoneR ₁-shears were predominant. The density of shear localization increased with cumulative slip, whereas the angle subtended at the rock-gouge interface decreased. Destabilization of the sliding behavior in the ultrafine quartz gouge corresponded to the extension ofR ₁-shears and formation of boundaryY-shear segments, whereas stabilization with cumulative slip was related to the coalescence ofY-shear segments to form a throughgoing boundary shear. In the coarse quartz gouge, the sliding behavior was relatively stable, probably because shear localization was inhibited by distributed comminution. Two different models were formulated to analyze the stress field within the gouge zone, with fundamentally different predictions on the orientations of the principal stresses. If the rock-gouge interface is assumed to be bonded without any displacement discontinuity, then the maximum principal stress in the gouge zone is predicted to subtend an angle greater than 45° at the interface. If no assumption on displacement or strain continuity is made and if the gouge has yielded as a Coulomb material, then the maximum principal stress in the gouge zone is predicted to subtend an angle less than 45°. If the apparent friction coefficient increases with overall slip (i.e., slip-hardening), then the Riedel shear angle progressively decreases with increasing shear strain within the gouge layer, possibly attaining a zero value which corresponds to a boundaryY-shear. Our quantitative data on shear localization orientation are in reasonable agreement with this second model, which implies the coefficient of internal friction to be about 0.75 for the ultrafine quartz gouge and 0.8 for the coarse gouge. The wide range of orientations for Riedel shear localization observed in natural faults suggests that the orientations of principal stresses vary as much as in an experimental gouge zone.     

细观非均匀性对岩石破裂过程和微震序列类型影响的数值试验研究

运用岩石破裂过程分析RFPA2D系统，研究了岩石介质细观非均匀性对宏观力学行为的影响和微震序列特征. 通过对不同均质度系数m=1.1，1.5，2，3，5的5个样本进行破裂过程的模拟，发现均质度不同会产生不同地震序列类型，主要有：前震-主震-余震型、主震型和震群型. 此外，对5种不同均质度系数的岩石样本破裂过程的模拟表明，岩石介质的非均匀性不仅对岩样宏观强度和宏观变形非线性行为有显著的影响，而且也显著地影响试样破裂模式. 随着均质度系数的提高，主破裂呈现脆断模式. 同时介质的细观结构随机性，也对试样宏观破裂模式产生重要影响.     

Shear-hosted Mesothermal Vein System in the Jiapigou Goldfield, Northeast China: Implication for Subsequent Exploration

Abstract. The auriferous mesothermal lodes and veins occurred in the Jiapigou Goldfield, Jilin Province, Northeast China, are inevitably hosted by shear zones or fractures of varying orientations and magnitudes. Our recent study suggests that the Jiapigou major shear zone (JMSZ) - a regional NW-SE-trending driving structure, played an essential role in the formation and localization of the shear-hosted auriferous mesothermal systems. Regional dextral shearing of the JMSZ controlled the general occurrences and orientations of lodes and veins, and consequently, constrained the development of the internal structures, geometric details and final localization of lodes and veins. Therefore, the development and final localization of shear-hosted gold system can be comprehensively recognized in terms of both the Riedel shear system theory and the effects of the regional prolonged progressive deformation of subhorizontally right-lateral shearing. The lodes and veins belonging to "R-" and "D-shear" would tend to be much more stable along their strike and dip directions than those belonging to "T-fracture" in the Riedel shear system. However, due to the prolonged progressive deformation, the original T-fractures might undergo local strain localization and partitioning and finally were modified into hybrid fractures filled by auriferous quartz veins, as displayed by many typical lodes and veins occurred in the Jiapigou Goldfield. In order to refine predictive exploration modeling, it is important to understand the structural attributes, geometries, and final localization kinematics of ore-hosting shears in a huge shear system as that developed in the Jiapigou Goldfield.     

The influence of matrix rheology and vorticity on fabric development of populations of rigid objects during plane strain deformation

The influence of vorticity and rheology of matrix material on the development of shape-preferred orientation (SPO) of populations of rigid objects was experimentally studied. Experiments in plane strain monoclinic flow were performed to model the fabric development of two populations of rectangular rigid objects with object aspect ratios (R_ob) 2 and 3. The density of the rigid object populations was 14% of the total area. Objects were dispersed in a Newtonian and a non-Newtonian, power law matrix material with a power law exponent n of 1.2. The kinematic vorticity number (W_n) of the plane strain monoclinic flow was 1, 0.8 and 0.6 with finite simple shear strain of 4.6, 3.0 and 0.9, respectively. In experiments with R_ob=3, the SPO is strongly influenced by W_n and the material properties of the matrix. Deformation of a power law matrix material and low W_n resulted in a stronger SPO than deformation of a linear viscous matrix and high W_n. Strain localization coupled with particle interaction plays a significant role in the development of a shape-preferred orientation. High strain simple shear zones separate trains of rigid objects that are surrounded by low strain zones with W_n lower than the bulk W_n. In fabrics involving populations of objects with R_ob=2, rheology of the matrix materials does not systematically influence the intensity of the SPO.

从在地化、去地化到再地化：中国城镇化进程中的人地关系转型

人地关系是透视中国城镇化进路的重要视角。论文在历史向度上分析了城镇化进程中人地关系转型的发展脉络和基本逻辑,认为中国人地关系经历了在地化、去地化和再地化3个阶段。在地化阶段,农本立国的经济形态决定了人们对乡土的经济依附和情感依恋,人地关系的在地化逻辑难以动摇;去地化阶段,中国的工业化、城镇化转型推动农民离土出乡,人不离土的价值观束缚发生了结构性松动,在土地与户籍制度的影响下,被动失地的农民与主动离地的农民共同主导了人地关系的去地化过程;再地化阶段,制度变革引领农民真正成为城镇化的主体,乡愁推动城乡文明走向共生,二者助推中国人地关系重塑。对人地关系变迁的历史脉络和基本逻辑的梳理,可以为适应新时代的人地关系的制度调节和新型城镇化道路的顺利实践提供理论借鉴。
