A detailed analysis of high-resolution seismic data (Chirp, 2–7 kHz) in the Ulleung Basin reveals spatial variation in echo characteristics and geometry of large-scale debris lobes. In the proximal part, the debris lobes are dominated by hummocky surface echoes and gradually transitional downslope to seafloor-tangent hyperbolic and smooth prolonged bottom echoes, reflecting progressive decrease in size, spacing, and relief of surface forms. The strongly convex-upward upper surface with steep blunt margins in the proximal part is gradually transitional downslope to slightly convex- upward or nearly flat form with less blunt margins. The gradual downslope decrease in both scale and spacing of surface forms and convexity of upper surface within each debris lobe is suggestive of progressive dilution in flow concentration within a debris flow, probably due to mixing of ambient water and removal of suspended sediment by deposition during downslope movement.

Influence of frequency‐dependent soil–structure interaction on the fragility of R/C bridges          下载免费PDF全文

Bridge performance under earthquake loading can be significantly influenced by the interaction between the structure and the supporting soil. Even though the frequency dependence of the interaction mentioned in this study has long been documented, the simplifying assumption that the dynamic stiffness is dominated by the mean or predominant excitation frequency is still commonly made, primarily as a result of the associated numerical difficulties when the analysis has to be performed in the time domain. This study makes use of the advanced lumped parameter models recently developed 1 in order to quantify the impact of the assumption on the predicted fragility of bridges mentioned in this study. This is achieved by comparing the predicted vulnerability for the case of a reference, well studied, actual bridge using both conventional, frequency‐independent, Kelvin–Voigt models and the aforementioned lumped parameter formulation. Analysis results demonstrate that the more refined consideration of frequency dependence of soil–structure interaction at the piers and the abutments of a bridge not only leads to different probabilities of failure for given intensity measures but also leads to different hierarchy and distribution of damage within the structure for the same set of earthquake ground motions even if the overall probability of exceeding a given damage state is the same. The paper concludes with the comparative assessment of the effect for different soil conditions, foundation configurations, and ground motion characteristics mentioned in this study along with the relevant analysis and design recommendations.

A new type of troposphere zenith path delay product of the international GNSS service   总被引：3，自引：2，他引：1  

Sung H. Byun  Yoaz E. Bar-Sever 《Journal of Geodesy》2009,83(3-4):1-7

The International GNSS Service (IGS) has been producing the total troposphere zenith path delay (ZPD) product that is based on combined ZPD contributions from several IGS Analysis Centers (AC) since GPS week 890 in 1997. A new approach to the production of the IGS ZPD has been proposed that replaces the direct combination of diverse ZPD products with point positioning estimates using the IGS Combined Final orbit and clock products. The new product was formally adopted in 2007 after several years of concurrent production with the legacy product. We describe here the advantages of the new approach for the IGS ZPD product, which enhance the value of the new ZPD product for climate studies. We also address the impact the IGS adoption in November 2006 of new GPS antenna phase center standards has had on the new ZPD product. Finally we describe plans to further enhance the ZPD products.  相似文献   

A comparative study for the fatigue assessment of a ship structure by use of hot spot stress and structural stress approaches     

Myung Hyun Kim  Seong Min Kim  Sung Geun Kim  Gyeong Rae Kim 《Ocean Engineering》2009,36(14):1067-1072

Recently, a mesh-size insensitive structural stress definition (Battelle structural stress method) has been proposed. This method gives a stress state at a weld toe with a relatively coarse mesh, such as up to 2t (t=plate thickness) or irregular mesh shapes. The structural stress definition is based on the elementary structural mechanics theory and provides an effective measure of a stress state in front of a weld toe. In this present study, a fatigue strength assessment was carried out for a side shell connection of a container vessel using both the hot spot stress and the structural stress methods. A consistent approach to computing extrapolated hot spot stress for design purposes based on converged hot spot stresses is described and current fatigue guidance is evaluated. Fatigue strength predicted by the two methods, i.e. hot spot stress and structural stress approaches, at hot spot locations of a typical ship structure are compared and discussed.  相似文献   

Recent Advancement in Modeling Seafloor Dissipative Mechanism in Shallow Water     

Philip L.-F.LIU  Yong Sung PARK 《中国海洋工程》2008,22(1):1-10

In this paper, the recent development in modeling seabed dissipative mechanisms in shallow water is reviewed. Specifically, laminar and turbulent boundary layer solutions as well as viscous mud flow solutions under transient waves are presented. These analytical solutions are compared with experimental data for both solitary waves and cnoidal waves. Very goed agreement is ohtained. The Boussinesq equations with boundary layer effects and the muddy seabed effects are also shown.  相似文献   

Identification of Albula sp. (Albulidae: Albuliformes) Leptocephalus Collected from the Southern Coastal Waters of Korea using Cytochrome b DNA Sequences     

Byung-Jik Kim  Sung Kim  Hyun-Seok Seo  Jina Oh 《Ocean Science Journal》2008,43(2):101-106

A single specimen ofAlbula leptocephalus (55.7 mm SL) was collected from the southern coastal waters of Korea using an aquatic lamp. It is characterized by having a ribbonlike body with a small head and a well-forked caudal fin. Although the general appearance was similar to the leptocephalus ofA. vulpes including myomere counts and fin ray counts, the melanophore deposition was different from that ofA. vulpes. This leptocephalus specimen was confirmed withA. forsteri using the cytochrome b mtDNA (Cytb) analysis. The genetic distance ofCytb between the present leptocephalus andA. forsteri is 0.006-0.038, which falls into the cutoff point separatingAlbula species into eight deep lineages including the four valid species. Its genetic characteristic have more similarities to those of Fiji than those of Hawaii and the Northern territory of Australia.  相似文献
