We investigate the reconstruction of a conductive target using crosswell time-domain electromagnetic tomography in the diffusive limit. The work is a natural extension of our ongoing research in the modification of time-domain methods for the rugged marine mid-ocean-ridge environment, an environment characterized by extreme topography and pronounced variations in crustal conductivity on all scales. We have proved both in theory and in practice that 'traveltime', the time taken for an electromagnetic signal to be identified at a receiver following a change of current in the transmitter, is an excellent, robust estimator of average conductivity on a path between transmitter and receiver. A simple estimate of the traveltime for a parallel electric dipole-dipole system is the time at which the derivative of the electric field with respect to logarithmic time at the receiver reaches its maximum. We have derived the fundamental relationship between the traveltime and the conductivity of the medium for a uniform whole-space. We have applied the concept of the traveltime inversion to the related crosswell problem and demonstrated reconstructions of finite targets based on tomographic analyses. Results show that the crosswell time-domain electromagnetic tomography can supply useful information, such as the location and shape of a conductive target. 相似文献

A theoretical approach to the propagation of interacting cracks 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
We propose a scheme to compute interaction effects between two randomly oriented cracks under compressive stresses and we discuss the role crack interactions play in the crack coalescence process. Stress intensity factors are computed by using an iterative technique based on the method of successive approximations. Once crack propagation occurs, curved wing cracks grow from the initial crack tips. The stress intensity factors at the wing crack tips are calculated as the sum of two terms: a component for a single wing crack subjected to both the applied stresses and the interaction effect, and a component due to the sliding of the initial crack. We have applied our procedure to various crack geometries. Our results show that interaction effects act on the crack propagation path. For cracks under tension, our approach correctly predicts the curving, hook-shaped paths of interacting cracks that have been observed in various materials. For en echelon compressive cracks, interaction effects depend on the geometry of stepping. For right-stepping cracks, no mode I crack coalescence occurs. A mixedmode propagation criterion may be introduced to check whether coalescing secondary shear fractures initiate. For left-stepping cracks, depending on whether or not there is overlapping, crack coalescence is achieved by tension wing cracks at the inner crack tips. Without overlapping, the growing wing cracks delimit a region where a tensile secondary fracture may develop and lead to coalescence. These results are consistent with previous work and show that our procedure may be now extended to a population of cracks. 相似文献

A new traveltime tomographic method was developed with hierarchical shape functions of the finite element method as slowness or velocity interpolation functions. The degree of the approximation of velocity modelling is adjusted by selecting a set of hierarchical shape functions in each element. The ray density parameter of each element controls the selection to make the approximation fine or coarse in the high- or low-ray-density area. The proposed method is applied to both synthetic traveltime data and actual data. The AIC is used to determine the number of model parameters. The result of the synthetic data shows that low-resolution model parameters can be eliminated by the ray density parameter. The result of the actual data shows that the velocity pattern is approximately the same in the fine approximation area and that the velocity fluctuation is suppressed in the coarse approximation area, compared with that obtained from a full set of hierarchical shape functions. The number of model parameters is drastically reduced. The resolution can be estimated by the checkerboard restoration test. The result of the real data set was compared with that of the linear velocity grid model. 相似文献

Surface mass redistribution within the Earth system, especially in the atmosphere, oceans, continents and ice sheets, causes the position of the centre of mass to vary in a reference frame attached to the solid Earth. Space techniques are now precise enough to measure the centre of mass motion. Here we present a determination of the centre of mass coordinates at regular monthly intervals using DORIS data on SPOT‐2, SPOT‐3 and Topex–Poseidon (1993–1997) and laser data on Lageos‐1 and Lageos‐2 (1993–1996). The amplitude and phase of the space‐geodesy‐derived annual cycle for each coordinate are further compared to estimates based on surface mass redistribution at the Earth surface derived from various climatic data sources: surface pressure, soil moisture, snow depth and ocean mass variations. 相似文献

Delay-time tomography can be either linearized or non-linear. In the case of linearized tomography, an error due to the linearization is introduced. If the tomography is performed in a non-linear fashion, the theory used is more accurate from the physical point of view, but if the data have a statistical error, a noise bias in the model is introduced due to the non-linear propagation of errors. We investigate the error propagation of a weakly non-linear delay-time tomography example using second-order perturbation theory. This enables us to compare the linearization error with the noise bias. We show explicitly that the question of whether a non-linear inversion methods leads to a better estimation of the model parameters than a linearized method is dependent on the signal-to-noisc ratio. We also show that, in cases of poor data quality, a linearized inversion method leads to a better estimation of the model parameters than a non-linear method. 相似文献

The magnitude and frequency of normal-fault palaeoearthquakes are usually determined by trenching studies that ascertain the size and number of colluvial wedges along the fault. Such information can be invaluable in predicting the seismic hazard and potential for a future earthquake in that region. Digging trenches across normal faults, however, is environmentally intrusive, expensive and limited in the penetration depth. To overcome these problems we propose the use of 3-D seismic tomography as a means to identify the shapes and sizes of colluvial wedges along normal faults. As an example,2-D and 3-D seismic surveys were conducted across the Oquirrh fault, Utah with the purpose of imaging the normal-fault structure to a depth of about 10 m. Results show that the 3-D tomogram clearly delineates the fault zone and a colluvial wedge, both of which correlate extremely well with the geological cross-section interpreted from an adjacent trench. The thickness of the colluvial wedge image is used in conjunction with a seismic section to compute an estimate of a 6.8 moment magnitude earthquake for the most recent event on this fault, which is in close agreement with the 7.0 estimate based on a nearby trenching study. These tomographic results demonstrate, for the first time, that seismic imaging methods can be used in some cases to estimate unambiguously the shapes of colluvial wedges and the sizes of prehistoric earthquakes. Thus, seismic tomography has the possibility of providing cheaper, deeper and wider, but less resolved, images of fault systems than the intrusive excavation of trenches across faults. 相似文献
