Cenozoic lithospheric extension induced magmatism in Southwest Japan     

Kozo Uto  Nguyen Hoang  Kazunori Matsui 《Tectonophysics》2004,393(1-4):281

Island chains off western Kyushu are the surface exposure in the northern margin of the Taiwan–Sinzi Folded Zone that spreads along the arc–trench system in the back-arc side from SW Japan to Taiwan. Intermittent igneous activity between the Middle Miocene and Holocene occurred on these islands and widely covered or intruded sedimentary rocks of Early–Middle Miocene. Geochemistry of the volcanic rocks from the Hirado, Ikitsuki and Takushima islands believed to relate to the back-arc opening along the East China and Japan Seas shows a temporal change in source material. Submarine to sub-aerial volcanism occurred on Hirado Island at 15 Ma during the final opening stage of the East China Sea producing tholeiitic basalt and associated andesite–dacite. These eruptives show low incompatible element contents and high FeO*/MgO ratios and reflect a tholeiitic differentiation trend. High Sr and Pb and low Nd isotopic ratios suggest the involvement of EM2-like lithospheric mantle and crustal material in the formation of these syn-opening volcanic rocks. Post-opening alkali basalt volcanism occurred at 9–6 Ma on the islands is characterized by OIB-like higher large ionic lithophile elements (LILE) and high field strength elements (HFSE) compared to 15 Ma basalts in this region and Quaternary basalts along the volcanic front. They have variable range of incompatible element concentrations and ratios along with variable Sr, Pb and Nd isotopic ratios suggesting the involvement of both lithospheric and asthenospheric sources at variable melting degrees (from 4% to less than 15%). The observation that the isotopic compositions of Quaternary alkali basalts south of the studied area are even more depleted suggests an increase in the involvement of asthenospheric source with time.  相似文献

Verification of two-dimensional non-linear analysis of sand-structure system by examining the results of the shaking-table test     

Akira Ohtsuki  Masanori Hirota  Kikuo Ishimura  Kazutomo Yokoyama  Kiyoshi Fukutake 《地震工程与结构动力学》1992,21(7):591-607

The verification of a two-dimensional non-linear analysis based on a hybrid constitutive model, which consists of the Ramberg-Osgood model extended to two-dimensional problems and a dilatancy model, is discussed through a comparison of the shaking-table test results for a one-storey structure standing on a dry sandy deposit with those for the same on a saturated sandy deposit. Since the relationships G vs. γ and h vs. γ for shear strains of 10^?5?10^?3 can be obtained accurately by an inversion analysis of the resonance curve of the sandy deposit the proposed non-linear method can represent well the observed non-linear response of the dry or the saturated sandy deposit including the structure. This method, however, should be applied carefully to assess the response of a soil-structure system when the three-dimensional interaction affects significantly the response of the model. An equivalent linear analysis using a sway-rocking model is applied to simulate the non-linear ground motion including the three-dimensional interaction, and it is found that the sway-rocking model can also represent well the non-linear response of the system.  相似文献   

Molecular dynamics study of the structures and bulk moduli of crystals in the system CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2     

Masanori Matsui 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》1996,23(6):345-353

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been used to calculate the structures and bulk moduli of crystals in the system CaO-MgO-Al₂O₃-SiO₂ (CMAS) using an interatomic potential model (CMAS94), which is composed of pairwise additive Coulomb, van der Waals, and repulsive interactions. The crystals studied, total of 27, include oxides, Mg meta- and ortho-silicates, Al garnets, and various Ca or Al bearing silicates, with the coordination number of cations ranging 6 to 12 for Ca, 4 to 12 for Mg, 4 to 6 for Al, and 4 and 6 for Si. In spite of the simplicity of the CMAS94 potential and the diversity of the structural types treated, MD simulations are quite satisfactory in reproducing well the observed structural data, including the crystal symmetries, lattice parameters, and average and individual nearest neighbour Ca-O, Mg-O, Al-O, and Si-O distances. In addition MD simulated bulk moduli of crystals in the CMAS system compare well with the observed values.  相似文献

Molecular dynamics study of pressure-induced transformation of quartz-type GeO2     

T. Tsuchiya  T. Yamanaka  M. Matsui 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2000,27(3):149-155

We simulated quartz-type GeO₂ and investigated its high-pressure transformation using the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation method with a model potential. The calculated results under hydrostatic compression indicated that a pressure-induced amorphization of quartz-type GeO₂ originated from the mechanical instability of the quartz lattice as, in previous theoretical studies of SiO₂. Furthermore, quartz-type GeO₂ directly transformed to a rutile-like structure with only subtle displacements of ions under σ _{x y} imposed shear stressed decompression. This is the first reproduction of the quartz-to-rutile transformation. A possible pathway of this transition is proposed in this study.

Out‐of‐plane stability assessment of buckling‐restrained braces including connections with chevron configuration          下载免费PDF全文

Toru Takeuchi  Ryota Matsui  Saki Mihara 《地震工程与结构动力学》2016,45(12):1895-1917

One of the key limit states of buckling‐restrained braces (BRBs) is global flexural buckling including the effects of the connections. The authors have previously proposed a unified explicit equation set for controlling the out‐of‐plane stability of BRBs based on bending‐moment transfer capacity at the restrainer ends. The proposed equation set is capable of estimating BRB stability for various connection stiffnesses, including initial out‐of‐plane drift effects. However, it is only valid for symmetrical end conditions, limiting application to the single diagonal configuration. In the chevron configuration, the out‐of‐plane stiffness in the two ends differs because of the rotation of the attached beam. In this study, the equation set is extended to BRBs with asymmetric end conditions, such as the chevron configuration. Cyclic loading tests of the chevron configuration with initial out‐of‐plane drifts are conducted, and the results are compared with the proposed equation set, which is formulated as a function of the normalized stiffness of the attached beam. © 2016 The Authors.

Velocity distributions of high-velocity ejecta from regolith targets     

Satoru Yamamoto  Toshihiko Kadono  Takafumi Matsui 《Icarus》2005,178(1):264-273

We measured the velocity distributions of impact ejecta with velocities higher than ∼100 m s⁻¹ (high-velocity ejecta) for impacts at variable impact angle α into unconsolidated targets of small soda-lime glass spheres. Polycarbonate projectiles with mass of 0.49 g were accelerated to ∼250 m s⁻¹ by a single-stage light-gas gun. The impact ejecta are detected by thin aluminum foils placed around the targets. We analyzed the holes on the aluminum foils to derive the total number and volume of ejecta that penetrated the aluminum foils. Using the minimum velocity of the ejecta for penetration, determined experimentally, the velocity distributions of the high-velocity ejecta were obtained at α=15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 90°. The velocity distribution of the high-velocity ejecta is shown to depend on impact angle. The quantity of the high-velocity ejecta for vertical impact (α=90°) is considerably lower than derived from a power-law relation for the velocity distribution on the low-velocity ejecta (less than 10 m s⁻¹). On the other hand, in oblique impacts, the quantity of the high-velocity ejecta increases with decreasing impact angle, and becomes comparable to those derived from the power-law relation. We attempt to scale the high-velocity ejecta for oblique impacts to a new scaling law, in which the velocity distribution is scaled by the cube of projectile radius (scaled volume) and a horizontal component of impactor velocity (scaled ejection velocity), respectively. The high-velocity ejecta data shows a good correlation between the scaled volume and the scaled ejection velocity.  相似文献   

Equations of state of CaSiO3 Perovskite: a molecular dynamics study     

Yigang Zhang  Dapeng Zhao  Masanori Matsui  Guangjun Guo 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2006,33(2):126-137

The molar volumes and bulk moduli of CaSiO₃ perovskite are calculated in the temperature range from 300 to 2,800 K and the pressure range from 0 to 143 GPa using molecular dynamics simulations that employ the breathing shell model for oxygen and the quantum correction in addition to the conventional pairwise interatomic potential models. The performance of five equations of state, i.e., the Keane, the generalized-Rydberg, the Holzapfel, the Stacey–Rydberg, and the third-order Birch–Murnaghan equations of state are examined using these data. The third-order Birch–Murnaghan equation of state is found to have a clear tendency to overestimate the bulk modulus at very high pressures. The Stacey–Rydberg equation of state degrades slightly at very high pressures along the low-temperature isotherms. In comparison, the Keane and the Holzapfel equations of state remain accurate in the whole temperature and pressure range considered in the present study. K ₀′ derived from the Holzapfel equation of state also agrees best with that calculated independently from molecular dynamics simulations. The adiabatic bulk moduli of CaSiO₃ perovskite along lower mantle geotherms are further calculated using the Keane and the Mie-Grüneisen–Debye equations of state. They are found to be constantly higher than those of the PREM by ~5%, and also very similar to those of the MgSiO₃ perovskite. Our results support the view that CaSiO₃ perovskite remains invisible in the Earth’s lower mantle.  相似文献
