Influence of object concentration on finite strain and effective viscosity contrast: insights from naturally deformed packstones     

Stefano Vitale  Stefano Mazzoli 《Journal of Structural Geology》2005,27(12):2135-2149

Deformed conglomerates and ooidal/oncoidal packstones are commonly used to evaluate finite strain in deformed sedimentary successions. In order to obtain a correct estimate of finite strain, it is necessary to consider not only the different behaviour of matrix and objects, but also object concentration. The analysis of two-component rocks characterised by high values of packing commonly results in a substantial underestimate of bulk strain and of viscosity contrast between objects and matrix. In this study, the effects of the volumetric fraction of competent inclusions on both object and bulk measured finite strain, as well as on apparent viscosity contrast, have been investigated in naturally deformed packstones characterised by variable object concentration on the scale of the hand specimen (and hence for homogenous viscosity contrast). Object finite strain has been obtained by Rf/ analysis, whereas the Fry method provides a measure of whole-rock strain that is also a function of inclusion concentration. Therefore, the finite strain measured by the Fry method is better termed effective bulk strain. In order to investigate the role of object concentration, this parameter has been plotted against object and effective bulk strain, and also against viscosity contrast. These diagrams show that: (i) for high values of packing, measured object and effective bulk strain show values that are significantly lower with respect to the calculated maximum value (that would result in the ideal case of no particle interaction and represents therefore the real bulk strain of the samples); (ii) the viscosity contrast shows lower values with respect to the calculated maximum one (that is equal for the three principal sections of the finite strain ellipsoid), and as packing reaches the maximum value, the viscosity contrast approaches a unit value. Empirical equations have also been found that link object concentration with both object and effective bulk finite strain.  相似文献   

Viscous Energy Dissipation and Strain Partitioning in Partially Molten Rocks   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

We develop a steady-state fluid-mechanical analysis describingthe effect of strain partitioning on viscous energy dissipation.As observed in experimental studies of shear deformation ofpartially molten rocks, strain partitions when melt segregatesbecause viscosity is reduced in regions of elevated melt fraction.The equations derived here are based on parameters measuredin experiments, describing the evolution of melt distributionand rheological properties. We find that the dissipation dependsstrongly on the configuration of the melt-rich network of shearzones, including the average angle, volume fraction of meltand amplification of strain rate in the melt-rich bands. Minimain energy dissipation as a function of band angle develop, correspondingto configurations of melt networks that minimize the differencein mean stress between the band and the non-band regions. Wepropose that the organization of band networks occurs by theinterplay between strain localization and viscosity variationsassociated with melt segregation. The band networks maintaina steady-state angle during shear by continuously pumping meltthrough the network. The development of strain partitioningin melt-rich networks will modify the energetics of meltingand melt transport by efficiently extracting melt and reducingeffective viscosity.

The structure of SrTiOGeO4 and its solid solution with CaTiOGeO4     

Rikke Ellemann-Olesen  Thomas Malcherek 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2005,32(8-9):531-545

Solid solubility and structural phase transitions in (Ca _x Sr_1-x )TiOGeO₄have been studied by means of in situ high temperature X-ray powder diffraction. The displacive A2/a–P2₁/a phase transition analogous to titanite has been followed across the solid solution. Strain analysis indicates a transition temperature of T _c=594 ± 10 K for SrTiOGeO₄ and the additional occurrence of an isosymmetric anomaly at T _i =800 ± 25 K, in analogy to the isomorphous compound CaTiOGeO₄. Lattice parameters as a function of temperature and composition have been determined by X-ray powder diffraction between room temperature and a maximum temperature of 1123 K. The e ₁₁ and e ₁₃ components dominate the strain tensor. All compositions across the solid solution exhibit close to tricritical phase transitions P2₁/a–A2/a. The critical temperature remains almost unaffected by substitution of Sr for Ca, but the magnitude of the spontaneous strain drops significantly with even small amounts of Sr present.  相似文献

The Contemporary Tectonic Strain Rate Field of Continental China Predicted from GPS Measurements and its Geodynamic Implications   总被引：7，自引：0，他引：7

In Appling studies, the strain rate in China has been computed from using different methods, resulting in quite different estimates of the strain rate the geo-statistics from GPS velocity field of Chinese continent, we obtain the velocity value at each little regularly spaced grid point, by kriging interpolation and the component of strain rate for each volume element, using a method similar to the derivation of shape functions in the finite element algorithm. Therefore the distribution of the strain rate field in whole for the Chinese continent is presented. The result shows that the orientations of principal strain rates are consistent with those of the P and T axes of focal mechanisms. The distribution of maximum shear strain rate clearly delineates some major active fault zones surrounding the Tibetan Plateau. The maximum shear strain rate is comparable with that obtained from analysis of seismic moment release. In part of the Tibetan Plateau containing normal faults and pull-apart grabens, we obtain an extensional state of strain. The absolute value of the strain rate in West China is approximately 5 times larger than that of East China, and the pattern of the strain rate field in most of the Chinese continent is controlled by the India/Eurasia collision.  相似文献   

Decelerating precursory seismicity in Vrancea     

E.M. Scordilis   《Tectonophysics》2006,420(3-4):509-517

Preshock seismic excitation followed by seismic quiescence has been observed in the seismogenic region of strong shallow mainshocks. The strain released by such preshocks is decelerating with the time to the mainshock and is fitted by a power-law with a power value larger than unit. This model is tested in the present work for the intermediate-depth earthquakes of the Vrancea region, generated in an isolated seismogenic zone proper for such testing. A backward application of this “decelerating preshock strain” model for the case of 4.3.1977 (M = 7.5) earthquake, for which reliable data are available, shows a good fit of the power-law pattern to the seismic activity preceding the main shock. The occurrence rate of recent intermediate-depth shocks in Vrancea indicates that this region is currently in a state of decelerating seismic deformation, which may lead to the generation of a strong intermediate-depth mainshock there at about the beginning of the third decade of the present century. The respective uncertainties are unknown due to lack of previous relative studies.  相似文献   

Experimental evidence of a unique flow rule of non-cohesive soils under high-cyclic loading     

T. Wichtmann  A. Niemunis  Th. Triantafyllidis 《Acta Geotechnica》2006,1(1):59-73

The presented results of cyclic triaxial tests on sand demonstrate that the cumulative effects due to small cycles obey a kind of flow rule. It mainly depends on the average stress ratio about which the cycles are performed. This so-called “cyclic flow rule” is unique and can be well approximated by flow rules for monotonic loading. Amongst others it is shown that the cyclic flow rule is only moderately influenced by the average mean pressure, by the strain loop (span, shape, polarization), the void ratio, the loading frequency, the static preloading and the grain size distribution curve. A slight increase of the compactive portion of the flow rule with increasing residual strain (due to the previous cycles) was observed. These experimental findings prove that the cyclic flow rule is an essential and indispensable concept in explicit (N-type) accumulation models.  相似文献
