Buckling‐restrained braces (BRBs) are widely used as ductile seismic‐resistant and energy‐dissipating structural members in seismic regions. Although BRBs are expected to exhibit stable hysteresis under cyclic axial loading, one of the key limit states is global flexural buckling, which can produce an undesirable response. Many prior studies have indicated the possibility of global buckling of a BRB before its core yields owing to connection failure. In this paper, BRB stability concepts are presented, including their bending‐moment transfer capacity at restrainer ends for various connection stiffness values with initial out‐of‐plane drifts, and a unified simple equation set for ensuring BRB stability is proposed. Moreover, a series of cyclic loading tests with initial out‐of‐plane drifts are conducted, and the results are compared with those of the proposed equations. © 2013 The Authors.

Roles of methane and carbon dioxide in geological processes on Mars

We discuss in this paper possible roles of methane and carbon dioxide in geological processes on Mars. These volatiles in the martian crust may migrate upward from their sources either directly or via various traps (structural, sedimentary, ground ice, gas hydrates). They are then likely emitted to the atmosphere by seepage or through diverse vent structures. Though gas hydrates have never been directly detected on Mars, theoretical studies favor their presence in the crust and polar caps; they could have played an important role as significant gas reservoirs in the subsurface. The martian gas hydrates would possibly be a binary system of methane and carbon dioxide occupying clathrate cavities. Landforms such as mud volcanoes with well-known linkage to gas venting are extensively distributed on Earth, and methane is the primary gas involved. Thus, identification of these landforms on Mars could suggest that methane and possibly carbon dioxide have contributed to geological processes of the planet. For example, we present a newly identified field in Chryse Planitia where features closely resembling terrestrial mud volcanoes occur widely, though with no observable activity. We also present results of a preliminary search for possible recent or present-day, methane-emission zones in the regions over which enrichments of atmospheric methane have been reported.  相似文献   

Large-eddy simulations of convection-driven dynamos using a dynamic scale-similarity model     

Hiroaki Matsui  Bruce A. Buffett 《地球物理与天体物理流体动力学》2013,107(3):250-276

Dynamo simulations require sub-grid scale (SGS) models for the momentum and heat flux, the Lorentz force, and the magnetic induction. Previous large eddy simulations (LES) using the scale similarity model have represented many aspects of the SGS motion. However, discrepancies are observed due to interchanging the order of filtering operation and spatial differentiation. In this study, we implement a correction term for this commutation error specifically for the scale-similarity model. Furthermore, we implement a dynamic scheme to evaluate time-dependent coefficients for the SGS models. We perform dynamo simulations in a rotating plane layer with different spatial resolutions, and compare results for the time dependence of the large-scale magnetic field. Simulations are performed at two different Rayleigh numbers, using constant values for the other dimensionless numbers (Ekman, Prandtl, and magnetic Prandtl numbers). Both cases show that the dynamic LES can accurately represent the large-scale magnetic field, whereas the dynamo failed in the direct simulations without the SGS terms at the same spatial resolutions. We conclude that the dynamic versions of the SGS and commutation error correction are essential for successful dynamos on coarser grids.  相似文献

Role of Acoustic Emission for Solving Rock Engineering Problems in Indonesian Underground Mining   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

In situ stress measurement is not well accepted yet in Indonesia due to the unavailability of technology, high costs and because it is impractical in remote regions. Alternatively, the Kaiser effect of acoustic emission (AE) can be used as a method for determining the stress-state at depth, without creating induced stress and is practical in remote areas. This paper is focused on the development of the AE test. The research has started to study the phenomenon of stress memory in a rock sample, the factors influencing the phenomenon, and finally, to determine the in situ stresses around underground excavations by applying the AE method. It is expected that knowledge in gaining the most important input parameters for maintaining the stability of underground excavations can be well understood and be reliably conducted at a reasonable cost.  相似文献   

Periodic response of a rigid block resting on a footing subjected to harmonic excitation     

Kunihito Matsui  Masashi Iura  Toshimi Sasaki  Iku Kosaka 《地震工程与结构动力学》1991,20(7):683-697

This study presents the dynamic behaviour of a rigid block which rests on a footing supported by a spring and a dashpot on a rigid base. The response of the rigid body is examined carefully when the base is excited by a harmonic force. It is found that a periodic motion appears in three different modes: stick-stick, stick-slip and slip-slip. The conditions that initiate the stick-stick and slip-slip modes are derived in explicit forms and the maximum sliding displacement is also obtained analytically. Useful dimensionless parameters are proposed for the presentation of the dynamic behaviour. The accuracy of results is confirmed by the response history computed by the Nigam-Jennings method.  相似文献   

Interannual salinity variations in the Tsushima Strait and its relation to the Changjiang discharge   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Tomoharu Senjyu  Hirofumi Enomoto  Takeshi Matsuno  Sigeaki Matsui 《Journal of Oceanography》2006,62(5):681-692

Interannual salinity variations in the Tsushima Strait are investigated on the basis of historical hydrographic data. The EOF analysis revealed that the most dominant mode is the in-phase salinity variation between the eastern and western channels. The time coefficients of the EOF first mode in summer show a negative correlation with the Changjiang discharge, which indicates that salinity in the Tsushima Strait tends to decrease over summer, related to a large discharge of the Changjiang. The eigenvectors of the first mode are larger in the eastern channel than those in the western channel, though the low salinity water mainly flows through the western channel. This is because the low salinity water spreads into the eastern channel as well as the western channel over summers with a large discharge of the Changjiang. The out-of-phase salinity variation between the channels is extracted as the EOF second mode; this is the predominant variation in the western channel. The time coefficients of the second mode in summer show no significant correlations to the volume transports through the western channel and the transport differences between channels. A relationship between the EOF second mode and variations in the wind stress over the East China Sea is suggested.  相似文献   

Evolutionary tracks of the terrestrial planets     

Takafumi Matsui  Yutaka Abe 《Earth, Moon, and Planets》1987,39(3):207-214

On the basis of the model proposed by Matsui and Abe, we will show that two major factors — distance from the Sun and the efficiency of retention of accretional energy — control the early evolution of the terrestrial planets. A diagram of accretional energy versus the optical depth of a proto-atmosphere provides a means to follow the evolutionary track of surface temperature of the terrestrial planets and an explanation for why the third planet in our solar system is an aqua-planet.  相似文献   

Degassing history and carbon cycle of the Earth: From an impact-induced steam atmosphere to the present atmosphere     

Eiichi Tajika  Takafumi Matsui 《Lithos》1993,30(3-4):267-280

The recent theoretical studies on the formation and evolution of the atmosphere and oceans of the Earth are reviewed. Impact degassing during accretion of the Earth would probably generate an impact-induced steam atmosphere on the proto-Earth. At the end of accretion, the steam atmosphere became unstable and condensed to form the proto-ocean with almost the present mass of ocean. The steam atmosphere would have thus evolved to the proto-CO₂ atmosphere during the earliest history of the Earth because CO in the proto-atmosphere may be photochemically converted to CO₂. However, CO₂ in the proto-atmosphere has decreased with time through the global carbon cycle which may have stabilized the terrestrial environment against an increase in the solar luminosity. The continental growth during Hadean and Archean would therefore have a significant influence on the carbon cycle and the surface temperature. It is also suggested that the continental growth is a necessary condition for the terrestrial environment to evolve to the present state. Both the impact degassing and the subsequent continuous degassing are suggested to have played a major role in the formation and evolution of the atmosphere and ocean. In particular, most of N₂ may have been produced by the impact degassing during accretion, and the contribution of the subsequent continuous degassing is at most 10% for N₂. As a consequence, after the CO₂ level decreased to less than 1 bar, the atmosphere may have been at about 1 bar and composed mainly of N₂ for most of the subsequent history of the Earth.  相似文献   

High-pressure transformations in silicates,germanates, and titanates with ABO3 stoichiometry     

Eiji Ito  Yoshito Matsui 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》1979,4(3):265-273

High-pressure phase transformations were investigated for two silicates, MgSiO₃ and ZnSiO₃; six germanates, MGeO₃ and six titanates, MTiO₃ (M=Ni, Mg, Co, Zn, Fe, and Mn) at about 1,000°C and pressures up to ca. 30 GPa. CoGeO₃ was found to assume the ilmenite form. The ilmenite phases were confirmed to transform in the following schemes: to perovskite in MgSiO₃ and MnGeO₃, to corundum in MgGeO₃ and ZnGeO₃, to rocksalt plus rutile in ZnSiO₃ and CoGeO₃ and to rocksalt plus TiO₂ (possibly of some denser structure) in NiTiO₃, MgTiO₃, CoTiO₃, ZnTiO₃ and FeTiO₃. In the case of FeTiO₃, the corundum form appeared as an intermediate phase. The possibility that the corundum type MnTiO₃ might transform to some denser modification could not be excluded. The compound NiGeO₃ was nonexistent throughout the pressure range studied. High-pressure phases of ABO₃ (A=Ni, Mg, Co, Zn, Fe, and Mn; B=Si, Ge and Ti) are summarized, and those stabilized at pressures higher than 20 GPa are discussed.  相似文献
