Electromechanical effects associated with earthquakes     

Renata Dmowska  Andrzej Hanyga  Roman Teisseyre 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1977,115(4):1033-1046

Summary A theoretical model of an electroelastic continuum has been applied in this paper to the problem of electrodynamic phenomena (piezoelectricity, electrostriction, etc.) associated with earthquakes. In such a model the coupling between electric and mechanical fields expresses itself by a change of scale of mechanical effects along the electric field, as well as by the additional electric charge created by the earthquake source.The electrokinetic phenomena associated with earthquakes and caused by the diffusion of fluids into the dilatant region have been considered using the theory of porous media with interstitial fluid flow. General relations describing electrokinetic effects caused by the deformation processes in an earthquake source have been obtained.  相似文献   

The kinematic inverse problem for weakly laterally inhomogeneous anisotropic media     

Andrzej Hanyga 《Tectonophysics》1982,90(1-2)

We derive a dynamic ray tracing system for seismic waves in an anisotropic medium. It consists of ten equations and can be solved numerically. For isotropic media it does not reduce to the DRT systems derived by other authors.  相似文献   

Sulphate Sources in the Sava and Ljubljanica Rivers, Slovenia, Inferred from Sulphur and Oxygen Isotope Compositions

Measurements were made of sulphur and oxygen isotope ratios of sulphate in some Slovenian rivers, lakes and tap waters. δ³⁴S ranged from −0.2 to + 13.3‰, δ¹⁸O ranged from +4.9 to + 13.6‰, and the sulphate content varied from 0.8 to 41.4 mg/L. Rivers flowing from the Julian Alps contain a very low amount of sulphate that is leached from a thin horizon of soil by rain. As confirmed by their low δ¹⁸O values, these sulphates do not enter the rivers directly in rain, but arise from biochemical cycling in the soil. The low δ³⁴S of this sulphate indicates that it originates from the oxidation of sedimentary sulphides. The evolution of sulphates along the river course was investigated for the Sava and Ljubljanica rivers. The variations observed in sulphate from the waters studied result from variations in the contribution of sulphates of different origin. Downstream the Sava River sulphate is depleted in the heavy isotopes of both sulphur and oxygen, with δ-values gradually tending toward the δ-values of groundwater sulphates in the watershed. In contrast, the δ-values of sulphate in the Ljubljanica River are almost constant and similar to those of sulphate in local groundwater. Introduction of water from Italian and Slovenian mines was recorded in the Soča River, where the lowest δ³⁴S value of sulphate sulphur (−0.2‰) was observed. In addition, the influence of sulphate from the oxidation of sedimentary sulphides was recorded in the Sotla River. No evidence was found for introduction of sulphate from factories.  相似文献   

Parametric-historic Procedure for Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis Part I: Estimation of Maximum Regional Magnitude mmax   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

A. Kijko  G. Graham 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1998,152(3):413-442

—A new methodology for probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) is described. The approach combines the best features of the "deductive" (Cornell, 1968) and "historical" (Veneziano et al., 1984) procedures. It can be called a "parametric-historic" procedure.¶The maximum regional magnitude m _max is of paramount importance in this approach and Part I of our work presents some of the statistical techniques which can be used for its evaluation. The work is an analysis of parametric procedures for the evaluation of m _max, when the form of the magnitude distribution is specified. For each of the formulae given there are notes on its origin, assumptions made of its derivation, and some comparisons. The statistical concepts of bias and variance are considered for each formula, and appropriate expressions for these are also given. Also, following Knopoff and Kagan (1977), we shall demonstrate why there must be a finite upper bound to the largest seismic event if the Gutenberg-Richter frequency-magnitude relation is accepted.  相似文献   

Maximum likelihood estimation of Gutenberg-Richterb parameter for uncertain magnitude values     

Andrzej Kijko 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1988,127(4):573-579

The maximum likelihood estimation of theb parameter in the Gutenberg-Richter relation is extended to the case of uncertain magnitude. An interval which contains the real unknown magnitude is used rather than the uncertain magnitude itself. The proposed approach is very flexible, it allows for the combination of the parts of a catalog of different quality into a single minimally biased set of recurrence parameters.On leave from the Institute of Geophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences, 00-973 Warsaw, Pasteura 3, Poland  相似文献

Optimal design of a regional seismological network for the Arab countries     

Hafidh A. A. Ghalib  David R. Russell  Andrzej Kijko 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》1984,122(5):694-712

The Arab countries cover a large portion of the African and Arabian plates, a region characterized by seismic activity along complex continental collision zones, active seafloor spreading, rifting, and intraplate earthquakes. Establishing a standardized regional seismic network in these countries, then, is of great importance. Considerable effort of some Arab countries and UNESCO under project PAMERAR is under way to achieve this goal. A design for the spatial distribution of a regional seismic network in the area, based on a D-optimal planning criterion, is proposed in this paper. The method, which involves optimizing the geographical locations of stations, is based on the probability of earthquake occurrence at a given point in the seismic region, travel times of seismic waves, and minimization of the ellipsoid volume of earthquake location errors.  相似文献   

A Lower Palaeozoic shallow water sequence in the eastern European Variscides (SW Poland): provenance and depositional history     

Kryza  Ryszard  Turniak  Krzysztof  Muszyński  Andrzej  Zalasiewicz  Jan A. 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1994,83(1):5-19

The Gackowa Formation of inferred Cambrian —Ordovician age is part of the metamorphosed pre-Variscan basement of the southern Kaczawa Mountains of the Sudetes region, south-west Poland. Previously variously interpreted as lavas, tuffs and sandstones, it is shown to consist of about 200 m of originally well-sorted siliclastic sedimentary rocks within a sequence of predominantly mafic volcanic rocks. Four facies have been distinguished based on relict sedimentary structures and textures and these suggest that deposition took place on a storm-dominated shelf, mostly above the wave base. The petrography, detrital zircon morphologies and geochemistry suggest affinity with, and derivation in large part from, acid volcanic rocks at a comparable stratigraphic position in a separate tectonostratigraphic unit to the south. The Gackowa Formation and its acid volcanic source rocks have a clear continental geochemical signature, in contrast with the mantle-derived basic/bimodal volcanic rocks below and above; it is suggested that the parent acid magma originated by crustal melting during the ascent of these mantle-derived magmas. A continental crust setting is inferred for the deposition of the Gackowa Formation sandstones, thus suggesting a continental setting for the associated within-plate basalts. The entire volcanic/sedimentary succession resembles elements of the Lower Palaeozoic of Germany, and all may have formed in an initial rift setting during Late Precambrian to Ordovician times.  相似文献   

Liapunov instability of the hypoplastic model for soils     

Andrzej Niemunis  Theodor Triantafyllidis 《Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering》2004,24(1):35-48

The hypoplastic constitutive model is known for its numerous application to the problems of soil mechanics and also for its excessive ratcheting. The paper shows that this deficiency can be interpreted as Liapunov instability in dynamic case. This is demonstrated with a simple one-dimensional swinger. Infinitesimally small as well as finite oscillations are analytically examined and the variability of stiffness upon a single cycle is considered. Several methods to circumvent the problem of ratcheting are discussed: implementation of ‘elastic’ range by means of so-called intergranular strain, usage of overlay modelling with parallel coupling of hypoplastic materials as originally proposed by Valanis in his endochronic theory and a special coupling of hypoplastic models based on comparison of partial stiffnesses.  相似文献   

Three-Dimensional Geographically Weighted Inverse Regression (3GWR) Model for Satellite Derived Bathymetry Using Sentinel-2 Observations     

Andrzej Chybicki 《Marine Geodesy》2018,41(1):1-23

Current trends of development of satellite derived bathymetry (SDB) models rely on applying calibration techniques including analytical approaches, neuro-fuzzy systems, regression optimization and others. In most of the cases, the SDB models are calibrated and verified for test sites, that provide favorable conditions for the remote derivation of bathymetry such as high water clarity, homogenous bottom type, low amount of sediment in the water and other factors. In this paper, a novel 3-dimensional geographical weighted regression (3GWR) SDB technique is presented, it binds together methods already presented in other studies, the geographically weighted local regression (GWR) model, with depth dependent inverse optimization. The proposed SDB model was calibrated and verified on a relatively difficult test site of the South Baltic near-shore areas with the use of multispectral observations acquired by a recently launched Sentinel-2 satellite observation system. By conducted experiments, it was shown that the proposed SDB model is capable of obtaining satisfactory results of RMSE ranging from 0.88 to 1.23[m] depending on the observation and can derive bathymetry for depths up to 12m. It was also shown, that the proposed approach may be used operationally, for instance, in the continuous assessment of temporal bathymetry changes, for areas important in the context of ensuring local maritime safety.  相似文献
