Grain growth kinetics and the effect of crystallographic anisotropy on normal grain growth of quartz     

Katsuyoshi?MichibayashiEmail author  Hisashi?Imoto 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2012,39(3):213-218

Annealing experiments on agate were performed to investigate grain growth kinetics and the effect of crystallographic anisotropy on normal grain growth of quartz. The experiments were conducted using a piston-cylinder apparatus at 700–800°C and 0.5 GPa for 0–66 h. The grain growth rate was expressed by D ⁿ −D ₀ ⁿ  = kt with k = k ₀ exp(−H*/RT) where D ₀ is the initial grain size at t = 0, with n = 4.4 ± 0.3, and H* = 191.3 ± 11.0 kJ/mol is the activation enthalpy and logk ₀  = 19.8 ± 1.4. While the grain aspect ratios are nearly constant at ~0.7 (short/long) during grain growth, the longest axis in individual grains tends to be oriented parallel to their c-axis, indicating that a primary crystal-preferred orientation of c-axis of the agate could result in the development of a weak shape-preferred orientation during grain growth.  相似文献

Numerical analysis of overburden soil subjected to strike-slip fault: Distinct element analysis of Nojima fault     

Hisashi Taniyama 《Engineering Geology》2011,(3):194

A distinct element method analysis is carried out to examine the development of shear bands in overburden soil subjected to a strike-slip fault. About 2.3 million spherical particles are used in the analysis and the results are compared with the shears observed at the Nojima earthquake fault during the 1995 Hyogoken Nanbu earthquake. En echelon shears and secondary shears which strike at lower angles to the basement fault – typical in strike-slip faults – are observed in the numerical analysis. Simple shear in the horizontal plane and drag due to the dependence of velocity on depth are confirmed to control the helicoidal shape of Riedel shears. Rotation of the compressional direction toward the fault strike as a result of slip along Riedel shears is also verified. It is found that the compressional direction is more horizontal within the area enclosed by Riedel shears than in outside areas and that these compressional directions produce secondary lower-angle shears that are less helicoidal. It is shown that the formation of column-like structures of particles and their subsequent buckling play significant micromechanical roles in three-dimensionally wrenched shears. The results of the numerical analysis, such as shear intervals and striking angles, show a resemblance to observational results at sites where sediment contains coarse grains and is subjected to strike slip with a small dip component, although they are not exactly the same as those observed at locations with similar overburden thicknesses.  相似文献

Spectrophotometric scan of comet 1973 XII Kohoutek     

Hisashi S. Ishii  Tetsuo Yamamoto  Shin'ichi Tamura 《Earth, Moon, and Planets》1981,25(4):437-450

Photoelectric spectrophotometric scans of Comet 1973 XII Kohoutek were made on November 25.85 and 28.85 UT, 1973. The vibrational temperature of C₂, the total numbers of CN and of C₂, and the production rates for CN and C₂ are derived from the observed fluxes. The temperature of C₂ was 4900 K on 25.85 November and 4300 K on 28.85 November. Mean abundance ratio of C₂ to CN was about 2.7. From the variation of production rates with heliocentric distance, it is shown that there was an outburst on 25.85 November in both CN and C₂ productions. For C₂, the production rates are derived by using two coma models, i.e. the Haser's parent-daughter model and the model relevant to a proposition of Yamamoto (1981b) that C₂ is formed via two-step photodissociation of its parent molecules. By comparing the production rate derived from the two models, it can be supported that C₂ is formed via two-step photodissociation rather than one-step photodissociation. In consequence, it is shown that the variation of the production rate with heliocentric distance is largely modified compared with that derived from the Haser's model.  相似文献   

A deep section of accretionary complex: Susunai Complex in Sakhalin Island, Northwest Pacific Margin     

Gaku  Kimura Masayuki  Sakakibara Hisashi  Ofuka Hideo  Ishizuka Sumio  Miyashita Makoto  Okamura Olex A.  Melinikov Vilera  Lushchenko 《Island Arc》1992,1(1):166-175

Abstract A deep section of accretionary complex, the metamorphosed Susunai Complex, is observed on Sakhalin Is., Russia. High pressure part of pumpellyite-actinolite facies metavolcanics, metacherts and metapelites are well exposed and constitute a tectonic pile preserving primary structures related to underplating of the oceanic crust. Three stages of deformation, D₁ through D₃, suggest successive deformation during subduction, underplating and exhumation of the complex. Oceanic material in the complex is more abundant than other well documented ancient accretionary complexes (e.g. the Shimanto Belt in southwest Japan and the Ghost Rocks Formation in Alaska), which were shallowly underplated. At Susunai, deep down-stepping of a décollément has scraped off the upper part of the oceanic crust, primarily the pillowed basalt horizon. This down-stepping results from crustal weakening as overpressured water is released from the fractured oceanic crust during metamorphism.  相似文献   

A new technique for non‐destructive field measurement of rock‐surface strength: an application of the Equotip hardness tester to weathering studies     

Hisashi Aoki  Yukinori Matsukura 《地球表面变化过程与地形》2007,32(12):1759-1769

Tafone‐like depressions have developed on the Aoshima sandstone blocks used for a masonry bridge pier in the coastal spray zone. A thin layer of partial granular disintegration was found on the surface in depressions. To evaluate quantitatively the strength of the thin weathered layer, the hardness was measured at the surface of the sandstone blocks using both an Equotip hardness tester and an L‐type Schmidt hammer. Comparison of the two testing results indicates that the Equotip hardness value is more sensitive in evaluating the strength of a thin layer of weathered surface rock than the Schmidt hardness value. By applying two methods, i.e. both the repeated impact method and the single impact method, the Equotip tester can evaluate the strengths of fresh internal and weathered surficial portions of rocks having a thin weathering layer. Comparison of the two strengths enables evaluation of strength reduction due to weathering. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献   

Surface lowering rates of uplifted limestone terraces estimated from the height of pedestals on a subtropical island of Japan     

Yukinori Matsukura  Akira Maekado  Hisashi Aoki  Tetsuya Kogure  Yoshihiko Kitano 《地球表面变化过程与地形》2007,32(7):1110-1115

In Kikai‐jima, south‐western Japan, many pedestal rocks have developed on the surface of Holocene raised coral‐reef terraces with known dates of emergence. Pedestals are formed just under boulders, which are considered to have been transported by tsunami and settled on a reef flat before emergence. On the assumption that boulders protect the underlying limestone terrace from rainfall solution, the rate of surface lowering of these limestone terraces was evaluated from the height of pedestals and the period of their formation. The result showed that the mean lowering rate over 6000 years is 205 mm/ky. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献   

Calcium-alkalinity relationship in the North Pacific   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

Satoru Kanamori  Hisashi Ikegami 《Journal of Oceanography》1982,38(2):57-62

The dissolution of calcium carbonate in deep ocean water causes variation in calcium concentration (Ca) and alkalinity (TA) in the ratio of one to two. The decomposition of organic matter generates nitric acid, phosphoric acid and sulfuric acid. A proton flux which is derived from this process also changes alkalinity. Using the variation in nitrate concentration (NO₃) as an index of the proton flux, the relationship betweenCa,TA andNO₃ is expressed asCa=0.5TA+0.63NO₃ The values of Ca obtained from direct measurements in the North Pacific are in good agreement with the values estimated from this equation.  相似文献
