Measured elastic moduli of single-crystal MgO up to 1800 K     

Donald G. Isaak  Orson L. Anderson  Takayasu Goto 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》1989,16(7):704-713

Using the rectangular parallelepiped resonance method we measured the temperature dependence of the adiabatic elastic moduli of single-crystal MgO over the temperature range 300–1800 K. The high temperature limit of our measurements extends by 500 K the upper limit over which elasticity data on MgO are now available. Although our measured temperature dependence of C _ij ^s are generally in good agreement with previous measurements over a more narrow range in temperature, we found that C ₄₄ ^s decreases more rapidly with temperature, for T > 1000 K, than previous studies suggest. We also found that each of the slopes (?C ₁₁ ^s /?T)_p, (?K_s/?T)_p, and (C ₄₄ ^s /?T)_p become less negative with increasing temperature for T > 1400 K. From our measurements on elasticity we are able to confirm that the Grüneisen parameter at zero pressure is nearly constant with temperature up to 1800 K, with only a slight decrease above 1000 K. Utilizing our new data we present calculations showing the temperature dependence of thermodynamic parameters important in studies of earth's interior.  相似文献   

Statistical analysis of peaks and directivity of earthquake ground motion     

Mehedi A. Ansary  Fumio Yamazaki  Tsuneo Katayama 《地震工程与结构动力学》1995,24(11):1527-1539

Conversion factors are useful for attenuation and damage estimation relationships. These factors among different definitions of peaks (i.e. larger, average and resultant) for peak ground motion indices and acceleration response spectrum were investigated. A large number of horizontal acceleration records recorded at 76 free-field sites of the Japan Meteorological Agency were used in this study. Two orthogonal horizontal components were combined in the time domain to get the maximum resultant peak ground motion indices and acceleration response spectrum in the horizontal plane. From the analysis, the means of the larger/resultant ratio were found to be 0·934 for acceleration, 0·926 for velocity, and 0·913 for displacement. A similar decreasing trend was observed for the means of the average/resultant ratio of the ground motion indices and acceleration response spectrum. The directivity of peak ground motion indices was also examined. It was found that the peak ground motion is more likely to occur in the transverse direction than in other directions. This trend is more prominent in the long-period contents of ground motion.  相似文献   

Streaming potential observations, using geothermal wells and in situ electrokinetic coupling coefficients under high temperature     

Tsuneo Ishido  Hitoshi Mizutani  Kenzo Baba 《Tectonophysics》1983,91(1-2)

In an attempt to detect streaming potentials induced by subsurface water flows, we have observed the horizontal electric field (self-potential) variations across stationary electric dipoles near geothermal wells in the Takinoue geothermal area, Japan. We observed variations of self-potential which seem to be associated with the water flows in the aquifer, induced by turning on and off the flow of the wells. Amplitudes of the variations are 3–5 mV across 60–200 m dipoles, and can be explained well with a proposed electrokinetic model: the streaming potential coefficient of − 15 mV/bar and/or the ζ-potential of −50 to −100 mV in the aquifer are appropriate to explain the observed data by the model. The obtained electrokinetic coupling coefficients are in situ ones and determined for crustal rock-water system under high temperature (˜200°C) condition. The present results, together with a laboratory study by Ishido and Mizutani (1981), give fundamental information on electrokinetic coupling coefficients in the earth's interior, and are very important when we make quantitative interpretations of self-potentials generated by geothermal activity on the basis of electrokinetic effects.  相似文献   

Soil amplification based on seismometer array and microtremor observations in Chiba,Japan     

Lin Lu  Fumio Yamazaki  Tsuneo Katayama 《地震工程与结构动力学》1992,21(2):95-108

Soil amplification characteristics of earthquake ground motion were investigated in terms of peak ground acceleration and transfer function based on the Chiba array observation records. The amplification of peak ground acceleration occurred mostly at the top soft layer and was similar for the three components. The effects of non-linear response of soil deposits on the transfer function were examined. Transfer functions calculated by ensemble average were close for the two horizontal components while those obtained from a smoothing operation were generally different. Both the transfer functions from the ensemble average and the smoothing operation underestimated the gain factor around the natural frequencies. A two-step smoothing procedure was proposed and a rotary spectrum was used to improve the estimation of the transfer function. Microtremors were observed at the locations of the boreholes where seismometers are buried. The power spectrum and spatial coherency of the microtremors were compared with those of the earthquake ground motion. Emphasis was placed on the wavetypes which dominated the peaks in the power spectra.  相似文献   

Orientation error estimation of buried seismographs in array observation     

Fumio Yamazaki  Lin Lu  Tsuneo Katayama 《地震工程与结构动力学》1992,21(8):679-694

Array observation is an efficient tool to investigate various characteristics of earthquake ground motion. However, seismographs used in arrays may involve unexpected errors in their orientations. Methods of orientation error estimation were developed in three-dimensional space by comparing recorded ground motions at a reference point with those at a checking point. A maximum cross-correlation method and a maximum coherence method were proposed and their accuracy was demonstrated. The earthquake ground motions recorded in the Chiba array and in two other arrays were used in numerical examples. Non-trivial orientation errors were detected for all these arrays. The cross-correlation coefficients and the coherence values between two points increased significantly by correcting the estimated orientation errors.  相似文献   

Empirical shear wave velocity equations in terms of characteristic soil indexes     

Yutaka Ohta  Noritoshi Goto 《地震工程与结构动力学》1978,6(2):167-187

An investigation to systematize empirical equations for the shear wave velocity of soils was made in terms of four characteristic indexes. The adopted indexes are the N-value of the Standard Penetration Test, depth where the soil is situated, geological epoch and soil type. As some of these indexes are variates belonging to interval scales while others belong to nominal or ordinal scales, the technique known as a multivariate analysis cannot be employed. A new approach to the theory of quantification, after C. Hayashi, was introduced and developed for solving this difficulty. Fifteen sets of empirical equations to estimate low strain shear wave velocity theoretically may be obtained by combining the above four indexes. All of these sets were derived by use of about 300 data, and their accuracies were evaluated by means of correlation coefficients between the measured and estimated shear wave velocities. The best equation was found to be the one which included all the indexes, and its correlation coefficient was 0.86. The empirical equation relating the standard penetration N-value to the shear wave velocity provided a correlation of only 0.72, and is one of the lowest ranking among the 15 sets of equations.  相似文献   

Absorption spectra of Cr3+ in Al2O3 under shock compression     

Tsuneaki Goto  Thomas J. Ahrens  George R. Rossman 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》1979,4(3):253-263

Unpolarized absorption spectra of single crystals of Cr³⁺ doped Al₂O₃ (synthetic ruby) have measured using a new, time-resolving, dispersive, streak photographic system over the range ～350 to ～700 nm during a series of shock loading experiments. The crystal field absorptions assigned to the transition ⁴ A _2g→⁴ T _2g were observed to shift in a series of experiments from 555±1 nm at atmospheric pressure to 503±5 nm at 46 GPa. In a single experiment at 32 GPa the ⁴ A _2g→⁴ T _1g transition was observed to shift from 405±1 to 386±5 nm. The present data extrapolate downwards in compression toward the 10 GPa data of Stephens and Drickamer (1961) although both crystal field absorption energies increase considerably less with compression than predicted by the simple ionic point charge model. The single datum observed for the Racah parameter B, 588±38 cm^?1 at 32 GPa, is consistant with previous results to 10 GPa and the trend of decreasing B, with compression expected from the divergence of the data from the point charge model due to increasing covalancy.  相似文献

Identifying Groundwater Potential in Crystalline Basement Rocks Using Remote Sensing and Electromagnetic Sounding Techniques in Central Western Mozambique     

Luís André Magaia  Tada-nori Goto  Alaa Ahmed Masoud  Katsuaki Koike 《Natural Resources Research》2018,27(3):275-298

Exploring for groundwater in crystalline rocks in semiarid areas is a challenge because of their complex hydrogeology and low potential yields. An integrated approach was applied in central western Mozambique, in an area covered by Precambrian crystalline basement rocks. The approach combined a digital elevation model (DEM), remote sensing, and a ground-based geophysical survey. The aim was to identify groundwater zones with high potential and to identify geological structures controlling that potential. Lineaments were extracted from the DEM that had been enhanced using an adaptive-tilt, multi-directional, shading technique and a non-filtering technique to characterize the regional fracture system. The shallowness and amount of stored groundwater in the fracture zones was assessed using vegetation indices derived from Landsat 8 OLI images. Then, 14 transient electromagnetic (TEM) survey profiles were taken in different geological settings across continuous lineaments that were considered to be aligned along inferred faults. In the central lineament zones, the TEM soundings gave resistivity values of less than 300 Ωm at a depth of 20–80 m. The values varied with location. Conversely, values greater than 400 Ωm were observed at the sites away from the central zones. This contrast is probably caused by the differences in permeability and degree of weathering along the fractured zones. These differences could be key factors in determining groundwater occurrence. By integrating five water-related factors (lineament density, slope, geology, vegetation index, and proximity to lineaments), high groundwater potential zones were located in the vicinity of the lineaments. In these zones, vegetation remains active regardless of the season.  相似文献
