Cohesive Crack Analysis of Toughness Increase Due to Confining Pressure     

Kazushi Sato  Toshiyuki Hashida 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》2006,163(5-6):1059-1072

Apparent fracture toughness in Mode I of microcracking materials such as rocks under confining pressure is analyzed based on a cohesive crack model. In rocks, the apparent fracture toughness for crack propagation varies with the confining pressure. This study provides analytical solutions for the apparent fracture toughness using a cohesive crack model, which is a model for the fracture process zone. The problem analyzed in this study is a fluid-driven fracture of a two-dimensional crack with a cohesive zone under confining pressure. The size of the cohesive zone is assumed to be negligibly small in comparison to the crack length. The analyses are performed for two types of cohesive stress distribution, namely the constant cohesive stress (Dugdale model) and the linearly decreasing cohesive stress. Furthermore, the problem for a more general cohesive stress distribution is analyzed based on the fracture energy concept. The analytical solutions are confirmed by comparing them with the results of numerical computations performed using the body force method. The analytical solution suggests a substantial increase in the apparent fracture toughness due to increased confining pressures, even if the size of the fracture process zone is small.  相似文献   

Stress Sensitivity of Seismic and Electric Rock Properties of the Upper Continental Crust at the KTB     

Axel Kaselow  Katharina Becker  Serge A. Shapiro 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》2006,163(5-6):1021-1029

We test the hypothesis that the general trend of P-wave and S-wave sonic log velocities and resistivity with depth in the pilot hole of the KTB site Germany, can be explained by the progressive closure of the compliant porosity with increasingly effective pressure. We introduce a quantity θ_c characterizing the stress sensitivity of the mentioned properties. An analysis of the downhole measurements showed that estimates of the quantitiy θ_c for seismic velocities and electrical formation factor of the in situ formation coincide. Moreover, this quantity is 3.5 to 4.5 times larger than the averaged stress sensitivity obtained from core samples. We conclude that the hypothesis mentioned above is consistent with both data sets. Moreover, since θ_c corresponds approximately to the inverse of the effective crack aspect ratio, larger in situ estimates of θ_c might reflect the influence of fractures and faults on the stress sensitivity of the crystalline formation in contrast to the stress sensitivity of the nearly intact core samples. Finally, because the stress sensitivity is directly related to the elastic nonlinearity we conclude that the elastic nonlinearity (i.e., deviation from linear stress-strain relationship i.e., Hooke's law) of the KTB rocks is significantly larger in situ than in the laboratory.  相似文献

在利用双差定位法对2003年7月21日、 10月16日云南大姚先后发生的6.2级、6.1级地震序列进行精定位的基础上，采用互相关系数法测量了两个地震序列的快波偏振方向和快慢波的延迟时间. 结果表明:① 两个地震序列的S波分裂现象较明显，除三台乡台以外，大部分台站记录到的地震快波平均偏振方向与区域最大水平主压应力方向基本一致，三台乡台的偏振方向出现两个峰值，平均偏振方向是N80deg;E，表现出与区域最大水平主压应力方向不一致的现象；② 序列延迟时间与震源深度之间没有明显规律性关系，但不同延迟时间范围内偏振方向表现出不同的规律；③ 两次地震序列S波分裂结果对比发现，6.2级地震序列快波的偏振方向明显较分散，快波平均偏振方向比6.1级地震序列大20deg;，而延迟时间方面二者相差不大；④S波分裂快波偏振方向所表现出的空间差异性，可能是由于在区域背景应力场的基础上叠加了两次6级主震产生的应力扰动引起的.   相似文献

Inversion of coseismic stress-triggered fault slips using borehole strainmeter observations     

邱泽华  阚宝祥唐磊  张超凡宋茉 《地震学报(英文版)》2006,19(6):643-649

Coseismic stress-triggering is becoming a new hot spot of research. Coseismic strain steps recorded by borehole strainmeters are particularly valuable in studying coseismic stress-triggered fault slips. Based on the theory of dis location, one can invert the triggered fault slips with such data if he/she has a well understanding about the local faults. Genetic algorithm can be applied to significantly raise the efficiency of searching a best solution among all possibilities in this kind of inversion. A testifying check of the program and analyses of each parameter＇s influence may further enhance the reliability of inversion results. Taking complexity of geological structure into account, the inversion results should be regarded as the predominant property or a comprehensive effect of triggered local faults＇ activities. As an attempt, we inverted the assumingly active faults＇ slips triggered by the Ms=8.1 Kunlun Mountain earthquake over Beijing area.  相似文献

山西黄土塬区三维地震勘探的实际应用   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：2

寿阳平头镇三维地震勘探区位于寿阳-阳泉构造堆积盆地的西北部，属黄土丘陵地貌，梁、峁比较发育，相对高差一般在30～50m。本区第四系覆盖较厚，纵横向变化大，且该地层中夹有砾石层和钙质结核层，难以成孔。地震激发与接收困难较大。通过多次的试验工作，最终确定采用变观措施来解决表浅层地震地质条件极差问题：避开黄土覆盖较厚地段，将炮点变观到较薄地段或者是基岩出露地段，并尽可能加深炮孔到理想激发层位。通过变观处理，记录品质明显提高。  相似文献
