Vibrations of corner point supported shallow shells of rectangular planform     

Yoshihiro Narita  Arthur W. Leissa 《地震工程与结构动力学》1984,12(5):651-661

The first known solution of the title problem is presented. The Ritz method is used, with algebraic polynomials forming the set of trial functions. The condition that all three components of displacement be zero at the four corners is straightforwardly enforced. Numerical studies show that the convergence is relatively slow, requiring more terms than for shells which are completely free. The class of problems studied includes independent, constant curvature in each of the directions parallel to the edges, yielding vibration modes which fall into one of four symmetry classes, with symmetry or antisymmetry of the displacements existing with respect to each of the two symmetry axes of the problem. Detailed results are given for the frequencies and mode shapes of the first two modes of each symmetry class for shells having square planform and circular cylindrical, spherical and hyperbolic paraboloidal curvatures. Accuracy of the results is partially established by comparison with other previously published, accurate results for the corner supported flat square plate.  相似文献   

Concentration of Gold(I) Thiosulfate Complex Ions on the Surface of Alumina Gel and their Change in Chemical State: Preliminary Experiment in the Elucidation of the Formation Mechanism of Epithermal Gold Deposits     

Kotaro Yonezu    Takushi Yokoyama    Yoshihiro Okaue    Akira Imai  Koichiro Watanabe 《Resource Geology》2007,57(4):400-408

In order to elucidate the formation mechanism of low‐sulfidation epithermal gold deposit, the adsorption of [Au(S₂O₃)₂]^3? (a model compound for gold(I) complex ion) on alumina gel (a model compound for the aluminum‐bearing minerals) and change in chemical state of [Au(S₂O₃)₂]^3? after adsorption on the surface of alumina gel were investigated as a basic model experiment. In the pH range from 4 to 6, the amount of [Au(S₂O₃)₂]^3? adsorbed on alumina gel decreased with increasing pH and decreased drastically between pH 6 and 7, and then approached zero above pH 8 at 30°C. At 60°C, the amount of gold adsorbed above pH 7 was enhanced compared with that at 30°C. This adsorption tendency indicates that [Au(S₂O₃)₂]^3? is mainly adsorbed by electrostatic interaction between negative charges of [Au(S₂O₃)₂]^3? and positive charges of alumina gel because of its isoelectric point around pH 9. The chemical state of gold after adsorption of [Au(S₂O₃)₂]^3? on alumina gel was examined using X‐ray absorption near edge structure (XANES). The result showed that [Au(S₂O₃)₂]^3? was spontaneously reduced to elemental gold even in the absence of specific reducing agents after adsorption on alumina gel. This reduction reaction might occur by two steps: (i) disproportionation of the adsorbed [Au(S₂O₃)₂]^3? at the surface of alumina gel, and (ii) spontaneous reduction of the resulting gold(III) complex ions on the surface of alumina gel. The experimental results suggest that aluminum plays an important role in the concentration of gold(I) complex ions and subsequent reduction of gold during the formation of low‐sulfidation epithermal gold deposits.  相似文献   

Zircon U-Pb dating,mineralogy and geochemical characteristics of the gabbro and gabbro-diorite bodies,Boein–Miandasht,western Iran

ABSTRACT

The Boein–Miandasht Complex (BMC) is a part of the Sanandaj–Sirjan metamorphic basement and is cut by gabbroic to granitoid bodies. These intrusive bodies comprise gabbro, gabbro–diorite associated with fine-grained, in part porphyritic leucocratic granitoids. Zircon U–Pb dating of representative gabbro–diorite samples yielded ages of 166.4 ± 1.8 Ma and 163.5 ± 6.3 Ma (Callovian, the latest stage of the Middle Jurassic). Mineral chemistry of the gabbro–diorites shows a homogeneous composition of the main minerals, main augite to diopside clinopyroxene and plagioclase (~An_17–59). Moreover, low Al_Z/TiO₂ ratios of the clinopyroxene grains suggest that the rocks were generated in a within-plate tectonic regime. The SiO₂ contents of the gabbro-diorite rocks are between 46.36 and 55.61 wt. %, Al₂O₃ ranges from 7.57 to 17.98 wt. %. The TiO₂ contents vary from 1.18 to 3.65 wt. %, Fe₂O₃ from 7.41 to 12.95 wt. %, the MgO ranges between 3.49 and 15.75 wt. %, Na₂O from 0.65 to 5.08 wt. % and K₂O from 0.48 to 1.08 wt. %. These rocks mostly plot in the alkali-gabbro field. Compared to chondrite are characterized by enrichment of LREEs over HREE, enrichment of LIL elements (e.g. Rb, Sr and Ba) and obvious positive anomalies of Nb and Ti. Based on the chemical composition, and mineral composition, this complex was generated in an extensional tectonic regime by partial melting of the hot asthenospheric mantle which is not more consistent with previous models which have suggested for SaSZ evolution in before.  相似文献   

Carbon isotope stratigraphy of Torinosu‐type limestone in the western Paleo‐Pacific and its implication to paleoceanography in the Late Jurassic and earliest Cretaceous     

Yoshihiro Kakizaki  Akihiro Kano 《Island Arc》2014,23(1):16-32

Carbon isotope stratigraphy of the Late Jurassic and earliest Cretaceous was revealed from Torinosu‐type limestone, which was deposited in a shallow‐marine setting in the western Paleo‐Pacific, in Japan. Two sections were examined; the Nakanosawa section of the late Kimmeridgian to early Tithonian age (Fukushima Prefecture, Northeast Japan), and the Furuichi section of the late Kimmeridgian to early Berriasian age (Ehime Prefecture, Southwest Japan). The age‐model was established using Sr isotope ratio and fossil occurrence. The limestone samples have a low Mn/Sr ratio (mostly <0.5) and lack a distinct correlation between δ¹³C and δ¹⁸O, indicating a low degree of diagenetic alteration. Our composite δ¹³C profile from the two limestone sections shows three stratigraphic correlation points that can be correlated with the profiles of relevant ages from the Alpine Tethyan region: a large‐amplitude fluctuation (the lower upper Kimmeridgian, ～152 Ma), a positive anomaly (above the Kimmeridgian/Tithonian boundary, ～150 Ma), and a negative anomaly (the upper lower Tithonian, ～148 Ma). In addition, we found that δ¹³C values of the Torinosu‐type limestone are ～1‰ lower than the Tethyan values in the late Kimmeridgian. This inter‐regional difference in δ¹³C values is likely to have resulted from a higher productivity and/or an organic burial in the Tethyan region. The difference gradually reduces and disappears in the late Tithonian, where the Tethyan and our δ¹³C records show similar stable values of 1.5–2.0‰. This isotopic homogenization is probably due to changes in the continental distribution and the global ocean circulation, which propagated the ¹³C‐depleted signature from the larger Paleo‐Pacific to the smaller Tethys Ocean during this time.  相似文献   

Assessment of turbulence closure models for resonant inertial response in the oceanic mixed layer using a large eddy simulation model   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Naoki Furuichi  Toshiyuki Hibiya  Yoshihiro Niwa 《Journal of Oceanography》2012,68(2):285-294

Large eddy simulation (LES) of the resonant inertial response of the upper ocean to strong wind forcing is carried out; the results are used to evaluate the performance of each of the two second-order turbulence closure models presented by Mellor and Yamada (Rev Geophys Space Phys 20:851–875, 1982) (MY) and by Nakanishi and Niino (J Meteorol Soc Jpn 87:895–912, 2009) (NN). The major difference between MY and NN is in the formulation of the stability functions and the turbulent length scale, both strongly linked with turbulent fluxes; in particular, the turbulent length scale in NN, unlike that in MY, is allowed to decrease with increasing density stratification. We find that MY underestimates and NN overestimates the development of mixed layer features, for example, the strong entrainment at the base of the oceanic mixed layer and the accompanying decrease of sea surface temperature. Considering that the stability functions in NN perform better than those in MY in reproducing the vertical structure of turbulent heat flux, we slightly modify NN to find that the discrepancy between LES and NN can be reduced by more strongly restricting the turbulent length scale with increasing density stratification.  相似文献   

Zircon U–Pb ages and Sr–Nd isotope ratios for the Sirstan granitoid body,NE Iraq: Evidence of magmatic activity in the Middle Cretaceous Period     

Imad Kadhim Abdulzahra  Ayten Hadi  Hossein Azizi  Yoshihiro Asahara  Koshi Yamamoto 《Comptes Rendus Geoscience》2017,349(2):53-62

The Sirstan granitoid (SG), comprising diorite and granodiorite, is located in the Shalair Valley area, in the northeastern part of Iraq within the Sanandaj–Sirjan Zone (SSZ) of the Zagros Orogenic Belt. The U–Pb zircon dating of the SG rocks has revealed a concordia age of 110 Ma, which is interpreted as the age of crystallization of this granitoid body during the Middle Cretaceous. The whole-rock Rb–Sr isochron data shows an age of 52.4 ± 9.4 Ma (MSWD = 1.7), which implies the reactivation of the granitoid body in the Early Eocene due to the collision between the Arabian and Iranian plates. These rocks show metaluminous affinity with low values of Nb, Ta and Ti compared to chondrite, suggesting the generation of these rocks over the subduction zone in an active continental margin regime. The SG rocks are hornblende-bearing I-type granitoids with microgranular mafic enclaves. The positive values of ?_Nd (t = 110 Ma) (+0.1 to +2.7) and the low (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr)_i ratios (0.7044 to 0.7057) indicate that the magma source of the SG granitoids is a depleted subcontinental mantle. The chemical and isotope compositions show that the SG body originated from the metasomatic mantle without a major role for continental contamination. Our findings show that the granitoid bodies distributed in the SSZ were derived from the continuous Neo-Tethys subduction beneath the SSZ in Mesozoic times and that the SSZ was an active margin in the Middle Cretaceous.  相似文献   

Stratigraphic records of tsunamis along the Japan Sea,southwest Hokkaido,northern Japan          下载免费PDF全文

The stratigraphy of tsunami deposits along the Japan Sea, southwest Hokkaido, northern Japan, reveals tsunami recurrences in this particular area. Sandy tsunami deposits are preserved in small valley plains, whereas gravelly deposits of possible tsunami origin are identified in surficial soils covering a Holocene marine terrace and a slope talus. At least five horizons of tsunami events can be defined in the Okushiri Island, the youngest of which immediately overlies the Ko‐d tephra layer (1640 AD) and was likely formed by the historical Oshima‐Ohshima tsunami in 1741 AD. The four older tsunami deposits, dated using accelerator mass spectrometry ¹⁴C, were formed at around the 12th century, 1.5–1.6, 2.4–2.6, and 2.8–3.1 ka, respectively. Tsunami sand beds of the 1741 AD and circa 12th century events are recognized in the Hiyama District of Hokkaido Island, but the older tsunami deposits are missing. The deposits of these two tsunamis are found together at the same sites and distributed in regions where wave heights of the 1993 tsunami (Hokkaido Nansei‐oki earthquake, Mw = 7.7) were less than 3 m. Thus, the 12th century tsunami waves were possibly generated near the south of Okushiri Island, whereas the 1993 tsunami was generated towards the north of the island. The estimated recurrence intervals of paleotsunamis, 200–1100 years with an average of 500 years, likely represents the recurrence interval of large earthquakes which would have occurred along several active faults offshore of southwest Hokkaido.  相似文献   

A new mineralogical approach for CO3 chondrite characterization by X-ray diffraction: Identification of primordial phases and thermal history          下载免费PDF全文

Naoya Imae  Yoshihiro Nakamuta 《Meteoritics & planetary science》2018,53(2):232-248

Using the in-plane rotation of polished thin section, the X-ray diffraction patterns exhibiting a high degree of randomness similar to powder pattern were obtained for 10 CO3 chondrites, which distinguished 130 reflections of olivine in the chondrules from that in the matrix, and showed systematic differences among subtypes based on the full width at half maximum intensity of two olivine 130 peaks. A lower petrologic subtype is characterized by sharp and strong peaks for forsteritic olivines in type I chondrules and by a weak and broad peak for ferroan matrices, and the higher petrologic subtypes are characterized by sharp and strong peaks for recrystallized matrices and a weakened or absent peak of magnesian olivines. The systematic change in the split peak of olivine 130 was linked with the mean diffusion length of Mg-Fe in olivine phenocrysts in type I chondrules. Fe-Ni diffusion in metals was considered to estimate the peak temperature of CO3.0, near the surface on the parent body. The peak metamorphic temperatures were estimated to be ~600–910 K using the onion-shell model when the cooling time was 10⁶–10⁸ yr on the parent body. A weak peak for ferroan olivine of CO3.0 suggests the amorphous silicate in matrices. The modal abundance of the amorphous Fe-silicate for subtype 3.0 (15% for Allan Hills [ALH] 77307 and 9% for Yamato [Y]-81020) was also evaluated from the deviation in trend of the relative peak ratios of the Fe-rich (≥Fa₂₅) and Mg-rich (<Fa₂₅) olivines for subtypes. The existence of martensites was suggested for ALH 77307. Amorphous silicate in matrices is a more resistant primordial component that produced the CO3 chondrites than martensite.  相似文献   

Compensatory response of the unicellular-calcifying alga <Emphasis Type="Italic">Emiliania huxleyi</Emphasis> (Coccolithophoridales,Haptophyta) to ocean acidification

Ocean acidification damages calcareous organisms, such as calcifying algae, foraminifera, corals, and shells. In this study, we made a device equipped with a Clark-type oxygen electrode and a pH-stat to examine how the most abundant calcifying phytoplankton, the coccolithophorid Emiliania huxleyi, responded to acidification and alkalization of the seawater medium. When E. huxleyi was incubated at pH 8.2, close to oceanic pH, the medium was alkalized during photosynthesis, and the alkalization rate [determined as μmol HCl added (mg Chl)⁻¹ h⁻¹] was identical to the activity of photosynthesis [determined as μmol O₂ evolved (mg Chl)⁻¹ h⁻¹]. When pH was maintained at 7.2 by the pH-stat, alkalization activity was stimulated and exceeded photosynthetic activity, resulting in an increase in the ratio of alkalization to photosynthesis (Alk/PS). On the other hand, no alkalization and photosynthesis were observed at pH 9.2. In contrast, acidification of seawater was observed in the dark because of the release of respiratory CO₂ from cells at pH 8.2–9.2, but not at pH 7.2. When orthophosphate was rapidly depleted within a day in the batch culture, intracellular calcification gradually increased, and both photosynthesis and alkalization decreased gradually. During the period the Alk/PS ratio also decreased gradually. These results indicate that E. huxleyi possesses an ability to compensate for the acidification of seawater when photosynthesis is more actively driven than respiration. These results suggest that the E. huxleyi cells may not be severely damaged by oceanic acidification during photosynthesis because of their homeostatic function to avoid negative effects on cellular activity. Finally, we concluded that E. huxleyi cells possess a buffering ability to reduce acidification effects when photosynthesis is actively driven.  相似文献   

Estimation of baroclinic tide energy available for deep ocean mixing based on three-dimensional global numerical simulations   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Yoshihiro Niwa  Toshiyuki Hibiya 《Journal of Oceanography》2011,67(4):493-502

The global distributions of the major semidiurnal (M₂ and S₂) and diurnal (K₁ and O₁) baroclinic tide energy are investigated using a hydrostatic sigma-coordinate numerical model. A series of numerical simulations using various horizontal grid spacings of 1/15–1/5° shows that generation of energetic baroclinic tides is restricted over representative prominent topographic features. For example, nearly half of the diurnal (K₁ and O₁) baroclinic tide energy is excited along the western boundary of the North Pacific from the Aleutian Islands down to the Indonesian Archipelago. It is also found that the rate of energy conversion from the barotropic to baroclinic tides is very sensitive to the horizontal grid spacing as well as the resolution of the model bottom topography; the conversion rate integrated over the global ocean increases exponentially as the model grid spacing is reduced. Extrapolating the calculated results in the limit of zero grid spacing yields the estimate of the global conversion rate to be 1105 GW (821, 145, 102, 53 GW for M₂, S₂, K₁, and O₁ tidal constituents, respectively). The amount of baroclinic tide energy dissipated in the open ocean below a depth of 1000 m, in particular, is estimated to be 500–600 GW, which is comparable to the mixing energy estimated by Webb and Suginohara (Nature 409:37, 2001) as needed to sustain the global overturning circulation.  相似文献
