A general form of a “fracture function” for isotropic brittle materials is expressed in terms of the three invariants of the stress tensor. The coefficients in the function are determined by use of the small number of experimental data under specific conditions. This function is applicable to an estimate of the fracture condition of brittle rocks under a general stress state i.e., σ1σ2σ3. The application of this function is attempted for the data of three brittle rocks i.e., Dunham dolomite, Mizuho trachyte, and Westerly granite, reported by previous workers. For the first two, this criterion gives a good estimation of the effect of the intermediate principal stress σ2 on failure. For the last, the fracture strength at high confining pressure is estimated by use of the several data obtained under very low confining pressures, and the agreement with experimental data is also satisfactory.  相似文献

The metamorphic complex of the Western Gneiss Region (WGR), Norway, constitutes the root of the Caledonian mountain belt and experienced temperatures of 700–800 °C and pressures in excess of 20 kbar during peak metamorphism. Mafic bodies surrounded by strongly banded felsic gneisses commonly exhibit variable reequilibration to granulite and eclogite facies conditions and locally preserve igneous minerals and textures. The Kråkeneset gabbro, located on the island of Vågsøy in the mixed HP/UHP zone of the western WGR, display evidence for extensive metastability through the entire prograde and retrograde P, T histories. Eclogite constitutes less than a few percent of the total volume of the body and high-pressure assemblages typically form thin coronas around magmatic phases or occur along localized zones of brittle deformation and fluid infiltration. The gabbro displays pseudotachylyte vein networks that define subparallel brittle fault zones, <50 cm wide, transecting the gabbro body. The pseudotachylytes contain μm- to mm-scale amoeboid and dendrite-like textures of garnet and plagioclase with inclusions of the eclogite facies minerals orthopyroxene, omphacite, amphibole, and dolomite, suggesting rapid disequilibrium growth of minerals during high-pressure conditions. Textural and petrological evidence from pseudotachylytes and corona structures show that the growth of these unusual textures occurred shortly after pseudotachylyte crystallization by a process of rapid solid-state alteration of a microcrystalline pseudotachylyte matrix. The pseudotachylyte-lined fault zones are in close spatial association with numerous amphibole±carbonate-filled hydrofractures with conspicuous fracture-parallel alteration zones defined by hydrous eclogite facies assemblages. These eclogite facies hydrofractures testify to the existence of high fluid pressures and to fluid infiltration following brittle failure during high-grade metamorphic conditions. Geothermobarometric estimates (ca. T=650–700 °C, P=20 kbar) and petrological data imply that hydrofracturing, pseudotachylyte crystallization, and the subsequent pseudotachylyte alteration process must have occurred during high-pressure metamorphism. Our observations are suggestive of a deep-crustal earthquake scenario where a high-pressurized fluid phase plays a double role by causing both seismic failure through the embrittlement effect and facilitating eclogitization of the metastable anhydrous gabbro. Metamorphic reaction along hydrofractures and fault planes led to the development of eclogite facies foliation fabrics and illustrate the rheological change from brittle to plastic behavior associated with the gabbro to eclogite transition. The formation of weak deep-crustal shear zones following brittle failure represents an arrested initiation of the physical breakup and metamorphic reequilibration of the Kråkeneset gabbro during its residence deep in the former Caledonian collision zone.  相似文献

深部地下围岩常常处于复杂的地质环境下,这些复杂的地质环境造就了岩石多变的物理力学行为,本文对取自某矿井的黏土岩开展温度-渗流-应力耦合特性及声发射试验研究,对黏土岩在不同地质环境下的变形特征、渗透特性、损伤及声发射演化特征进行分析。研究结果表明:温度和围压对试件的变形具有明显的损伤劣化和抑制作用,温度越高,围压越大,试件逐渐由脆性断裂向脆延性破坏转变;渗透率的变化对应于岩石体积变化出现降低-平衡-上升-回落四个阶段,体变和环向应变突变点为渗透性加速增大分界点;高围压和温度作用下,岩石的声发射呈高能高幅值特征,渐变特征不明显,最活跃值越滞后,低温和低围压下,声发射具有明显的渐变特征,最大值出现在峰值附近;同等围压下,渗透损伤值随温度的升高而增加,围压越大,渗透损伤值越小,温度越高围压越大,损伤发展越均匀。  相似文献

揭示致密砂岩的破裂机制对致密油气储层压裂设计和压裂缝网改造具有重要的指导意义。本文采用鄂尔多斯盆地延长组长6储层致密砂岩试样,开展了不同围压下的常规三轴压缩试验,分析了围压对岩石力学性质的影响。采用声发射定位技术研究了试样破裂过程,分析了不同围压下声发射定位事件的信号特征及其时空演化序列。此外,对破裂后试样进行了CT扫描,基于CT切片图像观测了试样内部破裂特征。得到以下几点认识:(1)不同围压下,声发射时空演化差异主要表现在压密阶段。随着围压的增加,声发射事件主要发生时段后移。(2)围压对声发射特征参数累计振铃计数的影响主要表现在压密阶段,其他阶段累计振铃计数呈相似变化趋势。不同围压下均可将累计振铃计数快速增加的瞬间作为岩石即将破裂的标志。(3)随着围压的增加,岩石破裂形态趋于简单化,由拉张破裂为主的复杂形态逐渐转变为单一的剪切破裂形态。(4)CT扫描切片直观地反映了试样的破裂形态,与声发射定位所得试样整体破裂形态相吻合,并且在声发射定位的基础上进一步刻画了裂纹分布情况与各裂纹相互作用过程。采用声发射定位技术与CT扫描双重方法,研究试样破裂过程,对于深入研究岩石破裂机制具有一定的意义。  相似文献

Ultrasonic compressional wave velocities (Vp) and shear wave velocities (Vs) were measured with varying pressure up to 1.0 GPa in a temperature range from 25 to 400 °C for a suite of tonalitic–gabbroic rocks of the Miocene Tanzawa plutonic complex, central Japan, which has been interpreted as uplifted and exposed deep crust of the northern Izu–Bonin–Mariana (IBM) arc. The Vp values of the tonalitic–gabbroic rocks increase rapidly at low pressures from 0.1 to 0.4 GPa, and then become nearly constant at higher pressures above 0.4 GPa. The Vp values at 1.0 GPa and 25 °C are 6.3–6.6 km/s for tonalites (56.4–71.1 wt.% SiO2), 6.8 km/s for a quartz gabbro (53.8 wt.% SiO2), and 7.1–7.3 km/s for a hornblende gabbro (43.2–47.7 wt.% SiO2). Combining the present data with the P wave velocity profile of the northern IBM arc, we infer that 6-km-thick tonalitic crust exists at mid-crustal depth (6.1–6.3 km/s Vp) overlying 2-km-thick hornblende gabbroic crust (6.8 km/s Vp). Our model shows large differences in acoustic impedance between the tonalite and hornblende gabbro layers, being consistent with the strong reflector observed at 12-km-depth in the IBM arc. The measured Vp of Tanzawa hornblende-bearing gabbroic rocks (7.1–7.3 km/s) is significantly lower than that Vp modeled for the lowermost crustal layer of the northern IBM arc (7.3–7.7 km/s at 15–22 km depth). We propose that the IBM arc consists of a thick tonalitic middle crust and a mafic lower crust.  相似文献

The transitional pressure of quartz-coesite under the differential stress and highly-strained conditions is far from the pressure of the stable field under the static pressure. Therefore, the effect of the differential stress should be considered when the depth of petrogenesis is estimated about ultrahigh pressure metamorphic (UHPM) rocks. The rheological strength of typical ultrahigh pressure rocks in continental subduction zone was derived from the results of the laboratory experiments. The results indicate the following three points. (1) The rheological strength of gabbro, similar to that of eclogite, is smaller than that of clinopyroxenite on the same condition. (2) The calculated strength of rocks (gabbro, eclogite and clinopyroxenite) related to UHPM decreases by nearly one order of magnitude with the temperature rising by 100 ℃ in the range between 600 and 900 ℃. The calculated strength is far greater than the faulting strength of rocks at 600 ℃, and is in several hundred to more than one thousand mega-pascals at 700-800 ℃, which suggests that those rocks are located in the brittle deformation region at 600 ℃, but are in the semi-brittle to plastic deformation region at 700-800 ℃. Obviously, the 700 ℃ is a brittle-plastic transition boundary. (3) The calculated rheological strength in the localized deformation zone on a higher strain rate condition (1.6×10-12 s-l) is 2-5 times more than that in the distributed deformation zone on a lower strain rate condition (1.6×10-14 s-1). The average rheological stress (1 600 MPa) at the strain rate of 10-12 s-1 stands for the ultimate differential stress of UHPM rocks in the semi-brittle flow field, and the average rheological stress (550-950 MPa) at the strain rate of l0-14 -10-13 s-l stands for the ultimate differential stress of UHPM rocks in the plastic flow field, suggesting that the depth for the formation of UHPM rocks is more than 20-60 km below the depth estimated under static pressure condition due to the effect of the differential stress.  相似文献

The observed microfracturing before faulting in rocks provides a basis for a physical model for the internal friction and the cohesive stress of the Coulomb criterion. Based on recent experimental results in the literature, the applicability of the Coulomb criterion is reexamined. The pressure dependence of strength of brittle rocks can be predicted approximately by the Coulomb criterion using measured values of sliding friction, except for a low-pressure region for certain rocks and near the brittle-ductile transition pressure. Deviation at low pressure seems to be explained either by the effect of cracked state or by different fracture mechanisms at low confining pressures, and deviation near the transition pressure is attributed to the increase of local yielding or fracturing before faulting.  相似文献

The experimental study on the melting of potassic basalt and eclogite with about 2% waterat 800-1300℃ and 1.0-3.5 GPa shows that the solidi of both rocks are significantly lower thanthose obtained from the previous experiments of the same type of rocks under dry conditions,and the former which is enriched in potassium has a lower melting point than the latter. It is con-sistent with the previous study. The melting temperature of eclogite increases with pressure,whereas potassic basalt has similar properties only at 1.5—2.5 GPa and>3.0 GPa, and at 2.5—3.0 GPa the melting temperature decreases with pressure. This can be explained as follows: (1)eclogite only has one hydrous mineral amphibole and the dehydous temperature is lower than thewet solidus of the rock. (2) Amphibole exists in potassic basalt at the pressures lower than 2.5GPa and phlogopite exists at pressures higher than 2.5 GPa, and the special compositions of bothminerals determine that amphibole has a dehydration temperature higher than or close to that ofthe wet solidus of the rocks, while phlogopite has a dehydration temperature lower than that ofthe wet solidus. On the other hand the features of the continuous solidus in the experiment ofhydrous eclogite were produced by the fact that the dehydration temperature of its amphibolelower than or close to the melting temperature of the hydrous conditions. So the melting tempera-ture lowers at higher pressures. Therefore, the composition of the rocks in the lithosphere and thetypes of hydrous minerals and their stable P-T conditions are the important factors controllingthe solidi of rocks. It can quite well explain the partial melting of rocks and the origin of the lowvelocity zone in the deep lithosphere.  相似文献

通过对珊瑚骨架灰岩在不同围压条件下的声发射监测试验,获取珊瑚骨架灰岩三轴压缩力学特性及其声发射(AE)基本特征。研究表明,珊瑚骨架灰岩强度特性符合Mohr-Coulomb强度准则。珊瑚骨架灰岩在三轴压缩作用下的宏观破坏特征表现出较明显的围压效应,即单轴压缩表现为劈裂式张拉断裂面;随着围压的增大,由两级台阶式宏观断口逐渐过渡呈现为单斜面剪切带。珊瑚骨架灰岩在三轴压缩作用下的AE时序演化规律与其应力-应变曲线特征基本吻合,等效破坏时间所对应的累计振铃计数、累计能量计数与围压之间呈良好的对数函数关系。峰前累计振铃计数、累计能量计数在长期强度?cd之前表现出稳定的平缓现象,符合岩石的线弹性变形特征,并在约90%处呈现剧增现象,即为岩石内部微裂纹快速不稳定扩展的开始。珊瑚骨架灰岩在单轴压缩作用下的峰前能量演化规律与其应力?应变曲线特征基本吻合,峰前弹性能、峰前耗散能同样在约90%处出现转折现象。  相似文献

Samples of San Marcos gabbro were deformed to both pre- and post-failure stages at confining pressures of 100, 250 and 350 MPa. Scanning electron microscope observations were performed on the samples after ion-milling. The unstressed gabbro has insignificant crack porosity but a high volume fraction of healed and sealed cracks. Extensive stress-induced cracking at high angles to the maximum compressive stress is observed at the two higher pressures. Such high-angle cracks are mostly associated with the pre-existing healed cracks or cleavage planes, and they control the geometry and length scale of crack networks in plagioclase. Intensive kinking in biotite is widely observed at 350 MPa pressure, which together with the crack networks control the brittle fracture process. Stress-induced cracks in samples deformed at 100 MPa pressure are predominantly subparallel to the maximum compressive stress, and their coalescence leads to shear localization.Quantitative measurements of crack density as a function of differential stress indicate that crack interaction is appreciable beyond about 90% peak stress for all three pressures. The data also show significant decreases in stress-induced anisotropy as pressure increases, suggesting that there may be a threshold pressure beyond which stress-induced anisotropy vanishes with the onset of cataclasis.  相似文献

Eclogites formed by the Lufilian (post-Katanga) metamorphism of gabbros intruded into rocks of the Katanga System (Upper Proterozoic) occur in the Central Province of Zambia. Typical constituents of these rocks are omphacite, almandine garnet with significant contents of the pyrope and grossular components, kyanite and rutile. Eclogites from some localities display well preserved, relict ophitic texture inherited from the original gabbro. Hornblende-scapolite metagabbro and coronite metagabbro often accompany the eclogites, and metalherzolite and serpentinite occur at a few localities. The Zambian eclogites are broadly associated with a variety of relatively high-pressure, kyanite-bearing mineral assemblages some of which are possibly in the eclogite facies. It is suggested that, in addition to temperature and load pressure, fluid pressure, fluid composition (H2O, CO2, Cl, SO3) and permeability of the gabbro due to deformation were important factors for the transformation of gabbro to eclogite in the environment of the Lufilian Arc.  相似文献

Compressional wave velocities have been measured in granite, granulite, amphibolite and peridotite specimens under conditions of high temperature up to 700°C and confining pressures up to 6 kbar. In general, velocity increases with pressure and decreases with temperature.Quartz-bearing rocks show an anomalous behavior of their compressional wave velocities. The velocity—temperature relations exhibit a velocity-“deep” due to the high—low inversion of the constituent quartz crystals. The intrinsic effect of temperature on velocities is hard to determine due to thermal expansion and consequent loosening of the structure. The opening of new cracks and the widening of old cracks causes a large decrease in compressional wave velocities. The minimum pressure to prevent damage at a given temperature should, therefore, be about 1 kbar/100°C.The values obtained at these conditions are considered to be most nearly correct as intrinsic properties of the compact aggregates. Velocity anisotropies at high confining pressures and high temperatures correlate with preferred lattice orientation of the constituent minerals. The effect of dimensional orientation and microcracks on seismic anisotropy seems to be of minor importance in dry rocks. It is the more eliminated the higher the confining pressure. The data do not support the concept of a velocity maximum in depth of 10–20 km.  相似文献

The role of aqueous fluid in fracturing in subducting slabs was investigated through a series of deformation experiments on dunite that was undersaturated (i.e., fluid-free) or saturated with water (i.e., aqueous-fluid bearing) at pressures of 1.0–1.8 GPa and temperatures of 670–1250 K, corresponding to the conditions of the shallower regions of the double seismic zone in slabs. In situ X-ray diffraction, radiography, and acoustic emissions (AEs) monitoring demonstrated that semi-brittle flow associated with AEs was dominant and the creep/failure strength of dunite was insensitive to the dissolved water content in olivine. In contrast, aqueous fluid drastically decreased the creep/failure strength of dunite (up to ~?1 GPa of weakening) over a wide range of temperatures in the semi-brittle regime. Weakening of the dunite by the aqueous fluid resulted in the reduction of the number of AE events (i.e., suppression of microcracking) and shortening of time to failure. The AE hypocenters were located at the margin of the deforming sample while the interior of the faulted sample was aseismic (i.e., aseismic semi-brittle flow) under water-saturated conditions. A faulting (slip rate of ~?10?3 to 10?4 s?1) associated with a large drop of stress (Δσ?~?0.5 to 1 GPa) and/or pressure (ΔP?~?0.5 GPa) was dominant in fluid-free dunite, while a slow faulting (slip rate?<?8?×?10?5 s?1) without any stress/pressure drop was common in water-saturated dunite. Aseismic semi-brittle flow may mimic silent ductile flow under water-saturated conditions in subducting slabs.  相似文献

Summary A study of strength and deformation measurements for basaltic rocks, along with consideration of the influence of fracturing using a rock mass classification system, documents the range of brittle response for basaltic rock masses. Although basalts vary widely in composition and other physical factors, many of the properties of a basaltic rock mass appear to vary within a factor of about 10. Typical values of strength parameters for intact basalt at ambient temperature (20°C) and negligible confining pressure are Young's modulus, 78±19 GPa; Poisson's ratio, 0.25±0.05; tensile strength, –14.5±3.3 MPa; unconfined compressive strength, 266±98 MPa; and conhesion, 66 MPa. Corresponding values for a basaltic rock mass that incorporate the weakening effects of scale are deformation modulus, 10–40 GPa; Poisson's ratio, 0.3; tensile strength, –0.1 to –2.5 MPa; uniaxial compressive strength, 10–90 MPa; and cohesion, 0.6–6 MPa. A measured deformation modulus for ambient pressure in the vertical direction, 20 GPa, is 1.5–3 times larger than that in the horizontal directions, 13.5 and 6.5 GPa, reflecting strength anisotropy due to column or block geometry for one particular basalt. Values of tensile and cohesive strength for the basaltic rock mass are generally one to two orders of magnitude lower than corresponding values for intact basalt. The shear strength of joints appears to vary considerably from flow to flow.  相似文献

We have conducted high-pressure experiments on a natural oceanic gabbro composition (Gb108). Our aim was to test recent proposals that Sr-enrichment in rare primitive melt inclusions from Mauna Loa, Hawaii, may have resulted from melting of garnet pyroxenite formed in the magma source regions by reaction of peridotite with siliceous, Sr-enriched partial melts of eclogite of gabbroic composition. Gb108 is a natural, Sr-enriched olivine gabbro, which has a strong positive Sr anomaly superimposed on an overall depleted incompatible trace element pattern, reflecting its origin as a plagioclase-rich cumulate. At high pressures it crystallises as a coesite eclogite assemblage, with the solidus between 1,300 and 1,350°C at 3.5 GPa and 1,450 and 1,500°C at 4.5 GPa. Clinopyroxenes contain 4–9% Ca-eskolaite component, which varies systematically with pressure and temperature. Garnets are almandine and grossular-rich. Low degree partial melts are highly siliceous in composition, resembling dacites. Coesite is eliminated between 50 and 100°C above the solidus. The whole-rock Sr-enrichment is primarily hosted by clinopyroxene. This phase dominates the mode (>75 wt%) at all investigated PT conditions, and is the major contributor to partial melts of this eclogite composition. Hence the partial melts have trace element patterns sub-parallel to those of clinopyroxene with ≈10× greater overall abundances and with strong positive Sr anomalies. Recent studies of primitive Hawaiian volcanics have suggested the incorporation into their source regions of eclogite, formerly gabbroic material recycled through the mantle at subduction zones. The models suggest that formerly gabbroic material, present as eclogite in the Hawaiian plume, partially melted earlier than surrounding peridotite (i.e. at higher pressure) because of the lower solidus temperature of eclogite compared with peridotite. This produced highly siliceous melts which reacted with surrounding peridotite producing hybrid pyroxene + garnet lithologies. The Sr-enriched nature of the formerly plagioclase-rich gabbro was present in the siliceous partial melts, as demonstrated by these experiments, and was transferred to the reactive pyroxenite. These in turn partially melted, producing Sr-enriched picritic liquids which mixed with normal picritic partial melts of peridotite before eruption. On rare occasions these mixed, relatively Sr-rich melts were trapped as melt inclusions in primitive olivine phenocrysts.

Experimental study of gabbro–norite eclogitization and melting at P = 4 GPa has made it possible to reveal the effective influence of fluid and temperature on the phase relationships. The melt composition varies from andesite–dacite in “dry conditions” to phonolite and carbonate in the presence of a fluid. The Grt-containing melting curve is replaced by the Cpx-containing liquidus as the temperature changes or a fluid is added. Hence, the possible presence of “garnetitite” and “clinopyroxenite” in the upper mantle was proved experimentally. The ultimate pressure of the spinel facies at the depth of the eclogite upper mantle is controlled by the stability of Cht ≤ 4 GPa. The revealed similarity of the spectra of REE-adakite, tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite (TTG), and melts formed under the partial melting of eclogitized gabbro–norite does not contradict the existing ideas of the eclogite source of the TTG rocks. Wide variations in the interphase microelement distribution factors D (Grt, Cpx)/L are indicative of effective fractionation of the microelements in the course of eclogite melting and differentiation.  相似文献

Room-temperature torsional-shear strengths of 1.27-cm-diameter × 0.25-cm-high disks of Nevada Test Site “Hardhat” granodiorite and a Mt. Burnette, Alaska, dunite were determined to about 90 kbar. Tests, for the most part, were run under linearly increasing pressure at constant rates of applied twist: about 3–30° at 5.73 · 10−4–10−2 degr./sec for granodiorite, and 18° at 5.73 · 10−3 and 10−2 degr./sec for dunite. Transitions are observed in the rate of shear-strength change for the granodiorite at about 15, 35 and 80 kbar. Minor and recoverable instabilities in strength occur over the pressure range 15–80 kbar. Beyond about 80 kbar, the shear strength increases sharply and is terminated with a strain-release of explosion-like violence. Strain rate showed some influence on strength and magnitude of energy-release at higher pressures. Residual microstructures showed that, below 15 kbar, intragranular extensional fracturing, intergranular sliding, and bulk consolidation mainly occur. Between 15 and 35 kbar, intragranular undulatory extinction, random and crystallographic ruptures, and initial intragranular slip are observed. The predominant mechanisms between 35 and 80 kbar are an increasing frequency of intragranular slip, and networks of short, irregular, intragranular ruptures. Bulk fracturing and faulting were not observed. Samples stressed to explosion-like failure showed extensive crystal fragmentation, and series of parallel bands. Alternate bands were birefringent and isotropic, respectively, and extended over a considerable part of the samples. Dunite showed a transition from diminishing to increasing shear strength at about 80 kbar, but no explosion-like release of strain energy to 95 kbar. Comparative data to 70 kbar also are given for a slightly serpentinized dunite, a granite, a gneiss, three extrusive porphyries, and a marble. X-ray diffraction powder patterns of all stressed samples revealed only a broadening of peaks and a reduction of intensities from higher levels of stress.  相似文献
