Néel temperature (TmNof α-Fe2SiO4 (fayalite) was measured as a function of pressure by means of Mössbauer spectroscopy in the pressure range 0–16 Gpa. High pressure was generated using a clamp-type miniature diamond anvil cell which was inserted into a cryostat. The Néel temperature increased linearly with increasing pressure at a rate of dTN/dp=2.2±0.2 K/GPa. The result is discussed on the basis of the model proposed for the magnetic structure of fayalite by Santoro et al. (1966). The observed dTN/dp suggests that the superexchange interactions vary as the ?10/3 power of the volume while the volume dependence of the direct exchange interactions is positive and small. 相似文献
We describe in detail the deformation structures and textures of a large-scale landslide body that developed in the Betto-dani
Valley in northern central Japan. We studied the shape-preferred orientation of clasts and clay flakes and the development
of internal shear planes within the slip zone of the landslide. The slip has an average rate of 5–10 cm/year under the overburden
pressure of approximately 1.6 MPa; these values are similar to those of the proto-decollement zone of the Nankai accretionary
prism in SW Japan. The anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility of samples obtained from the slip zone reveals that the long
axes of clay flakes define an imbricate structure. The slip was due to a long-term periodical creep, which occurs during the
thaw seasons with an average slip rate of 0.16–0.32 μm/min. During the creep, the long axes of grains including clay flakes
in the slip zone are developed from parallel to perpendicular to the slip direction. The observed textures provide a clue
to elucidate the deformation textures and process in the decollement zone of the Nankai prism. 相似文献
High-pressure Raman studies of methane hydrate were performed using a diamond anvil cell in the pressure range of 0.1–86 GPa
at room temperature. Raman spectra of the methane molecules revealed that new softened intramolecular vibration mode of ν1 appeared at 17 GPa and that the splitting of vibration mode of ν3 occurred at 15 GPa. The appearance of these two modes indicates that an intermolecular attractive interaction increases between
the methane molecules and the host water molecules and between the neighboring methane molecules. These interactions might
result in the exceptional stability of a high-pressure structure, a filled ice Ih structure (FIIhS) for methane hydrate, up
to 40 GPa. At 40 GPa, a clear change in the slope of the Raman shift versus pressure occurred, and above 40 GPa the Raman
shift of the vibration modes increased monotonously up to 86 GPa. A previous XRD study showed that the FIIhS transformed into
another new high-pressure structure at 40 GPa. The change in the Raman spectra at 40 GPa may be induced by the transition
of the structure. 相似文献
Bentonite clay is a micro-inhomogeneous material, which consists of clay minerals (mainly montmorillonite), macro-grains (mainly quartz), water, air and others. Properties of the saturated bentonite clay are essentially characterized by the montmorillonite and water (i.e. montmorillonite hydrate). We analyze the molecular behavior of sodium montmorillonite hydrate Na1/3Al2[Si11/3Al1/3]O10(OH)2·nH2O by applying a molecular dynamics (MD) simulation method. And by using the MD results we calculate the swelling property of the montmorillonite hydrate, and compare with an experimental result. Next, by using the same MD procedure we treat a montmorillonite mineral with a large number of external water molecules to check the properties of the water. Here we treat pure- and salt-water. Then we calculate the diffusivity and viscosity of water molecules and Na+ and Cl− ions.
For extending the microscopic characteristics of constituent materials to a macroscopic seepage behavior of the micro-inhomogeneous material we apply a homogenization analysis (HA). That is, starting with the Navier–Stokes equation with distributed viscosity that is calculated by the former MD procedure we determine macroscopic permeability characteristics of bentonite for both cases of pure- and salt-water. Then, by using the permeability property we calculate long-term consolidation behavior of buffering clay, which is planed to be used for high-level radioactive waste (HLRW) management. Here the deformation is treated under the well-defined Cam clay model. 相似文献
The Resonance Capacity Method is proposed for the earthquake response analysis of hysteretic structures. Resonance Capacity is a physical quantity of structures which is related to the hysteretic energy absorbed by structures in one cycle and is equated to the acceleration, velocity and displacement amplitudes α0, d0 and d0 of earthquake ground motions at resonance.1 According to the idealized trapezoidal approximation of earthquake ground motions in the logarithmic period–velocity plane as proposed by Veletsos and Newmark,8 the Resonance Capacity property applies in each period range, short, medium and long, where α0, v0 and d0 respectively are approximately constant. In the medium range of periods, the energy dissipated in hysteretic loops and the deformation amplitudes of a single-degree system with elasto–plastic force–deformation relationships are calculated for the case of El Centro 1940, 18 May earthquake, by this Resonance Capacity Method. The result is compared with results from conventional numerical response analyses obtained by Berg and Thomaides,14 Kato and Akiyama12 and Veletsos and Newmark,8 and the general agreement is seen to be good. Therefore, it may be possible to apply this Resonance Capacity Method over the entire range of periods. By means of this method the earthquake response analysis of hysteretic systems can be performed easily, and the hysteretic energy and fatigue characteristics of structures may be taken into account directly, up to the point of fracture. 相似文献
A pattern of slick streaks winding into a spiral, known as a spiral eddy, was identified in 5 images taken by the ERS-1/2
synthetic aperture radar (SAR) in Mutsu Bay (Japan); dynamic and kinematic models of these spiral eddies have been proposed.
Common characteristics of the five spiral eddies are: 1) an eddy diameter of about 15 km; 2) their location in the western
part of the bay; and 3) their cyclonic direction of rotation. Moreover, the wind conditions over the bay were common: prior
to acquiring the images, a strong easterly wind continued blowing for more than one day. The wind field on the bay is known
to be orographically steered and has strong windstress vorticity, which generates cyclonic circulation. The diameter and location
of the circulation simulated with a numerical ocean model corresponded well to those of the identified spiral eddies. Based
on these facts, we propose a dynamic model for the movement of a slick streak, and a kinematic model for the formation of
a spiral eddy. We have assumed calm air, a microlayer and seawater with a cyclonic circulation in the dynamic model. The balance
of forces is established in the microlayer among the frictional force from the seawater, the frictional force from the calm
air, the gravitational force, and the Coriolis force. As a result, the velocity vector of the microlayer deflects slightly
towards the center of the cyclonic circulation. We have assumed a point source of the microlayer in the kinematic model. The
shapes of a slick streak simulated with the models agree well with the identified patterns in the SAR images. 相似文献
A multi-spectral classification scheme is proposed to identify water with red tide(s) using satellite ocean color imagery
obtained by the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS). The study area was the eastern Seto Inland Sea in Japan,
where serious red tides frequently occur. “Background Ocean Colors” (BOCs hereafter), or colors of water around a red tide
or those of the water before/after a red tide, are calculated as the monthly climatological average of normalized water-leaving
radiances (nLw) with 0.01 degree spatial resolution with SeaWiFS imagery. Criteria for detecting red-tide pixels are established
from analyses of characteristics of the nLws (in the 443, 490, 510, and 555 nm bands) anomalies from BOCs and the nLw spectra
together with the red-tide records in Osaka Bay. The proposed scheme can efficiently indicate the presence or absence of red
tides for independent match-ups with 83% accuracy. Additional validations of specific events indicate that the algorithm performed
well in the study area. These results suggest that the scheme is appropriate to detect red tides in the optically complex
coastal water of the eastern Seto Inland Sea. 相似文献
