A new method of modelling the rock micro-fracturing process in double-torsion experiments using neural networks

Microfracturing of rock is a complicated damage evolution process. Inaccurate prediction of micro-fracturing behaviours suggests a need for the development of a better modelling method. Analysis of acoustic emission (AE) measurements in double-torsion tests indicates that micro-fracturing behaviours during the loading stage have fractal time structures. This fractal behaviour can be described by C(t) ∝ t^D, where D is the correlation exponent, t is the time and C(t) is the correlation integral. Furthermore, by utilizing measured AE data, a new method has been developed to model the AE behaviours of micro-fracturing in rock, in air, and following soaking in water and in a chemical solution of DTAB. The neutral models NN (10,21,2) and NN (10,20,2) were found to describe reasonably well the AE behaviours of micro-fracturing in rock under air and DTAB conditions, and water conditions, respectively. The cumulative AE events and the cumulative AE counts predicted by the neural models agreed well with those measured in experiments. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献   

Dynamical evolution of two-component star clusters     

Masahiro Saito  Masanori Yoshizawa 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1976,41(1):63-77

The dynamical evolution of two-component star clusters, each of which is enclosed within a perfectly reflecting sphere, is investigated by numerically solving moment equations derived from the Boltzmann equation. One of the two adopted model clusters evolves, starting from a state of no mass segregation, toward an equilibrium state at a quite slow rate. The other one evolves away from an equilibrium state and its central density increases without limit. The different evolutionary behaviors of the two model clusters are explained by the fact that there exists no equilibrium state for such clusters if the total energy is less than a certain critical value. The critical value increases with increasing total mass fraction of the heavier stars. This is qualitatively the same as Spitzer's theorem (1969) expressed in another way.  相似文献   

Mineralogical Associations of Arsenic and Antimony in Thirty Five Geochemical Reference Materials by Sequential Extraction with Hydride Generation and Atomic Absorption Spectrometry   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

A method is described to estimate the chemical forms of arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) in a variety of geochemical reference materials, combining a sequential extraction scheme with hydride generation and atomic absorption spectrometry (HG-AAS). The fractions dissolved by sequential extraction are empirically defined as the exchangeable, EDTA soluble, oxide, sulfide and residual fractions. The amount of As and Sb in the EDTA soluble fraction have been derived mainly from oxide phases, and partly from carbonate minerals. Most sulfide minerals in common geological samples were considered to be dissolved with the digestion of 0.7 mol l⁻¹ NaOCl, but only small fraction of arsenopyrite and loellingite in ores could be dissolved in this way. Satisfactory agreement was observed between the sum of the As or Sb values from exchangeable to residual fractions and the reported total As or Sb values, with a few exceptions. Analytical results of As and Sb for thirty five geochemical reference materials are tabulated, and geochemical and mineralogical features are discussed.  相似文献   

Laboratory experiment and digital simulation of multiple fill-cut terrace formation     

Takeshi Mizutani 《Geomorphology》1998,24(4):353-361

The formation mechanism of multiple erosional terraces which develop in the dissection process of sedimentary valley fills was investigated by laboratory experiments and computer simulations. Sequences of unpaired terraces were produced on experimental fan-like deposits under conditions of constant water discharge, no base-level change, and no sediment supply. The terraces developed as a result of the repetition of lateral shifting and stillstand of the stream channel at each cross-section during continuous downcutting. This mode of channel migration was caused by meander growth during which amplitude and wavelength increased with time. The terrace formation process was well-reproduced by computer simulations using a meander model having a similar wave mode.  相似文献   

Temporal changes in benthic communities of seagrass beds impacted by a tsunami in the Andaman Sea,Thailand

Seagrass beds are susceptible to various natural and human-induced disturbances. Disturbances affect not only seagrasses, but also the abundance and diversity of associated macrofaunal communities. The Andaman Sea coast of Thailand was heavily affected by the tsunami of December 26, 2004. To examine its impact on seagrass macrofaunal communities, we compared the abundance, diversity and taxa composition by quantitative samplings in 2001 (before the tsunami) and in 2005 and 2006 (after the tsunami). Macrobenthic animals and sediments were collected from vegetated and nonvegetated areas of two sites that had received different levels of tsunami disturbances. A large decline in abundance and diversity was observed in the nonvegetated areas after the tsunami, whereas an increase was observed in the vegetated areas. The magnitude of decline and subsequent recovery of abundance and diversity of macrobenthic animals in nonvegetated areas were similar between the two sites, suggesting that their temporal changes were not solely related to the magnitude of the tsunami disturbance. Similarity of the benthic animals differed greatly between 2001 and 2005–2006 at the nonvegetated areas, whereas it varied less among the 3 years at the seagrass-vegetated areas. This study demonstrated that the presence of seagrass vegetation alters the patterns of temporal variation in macrofaunal assemblages and subsequent recovery processes following a tsunami.  相似文献

Accretion process of the moon     

Hitoshi Mizutani  Takahumi Matsui  Hitoshi Takeuchi 《Earth, Moon, and Planets》1972,4(3-4):476-489

Recent geochemical and geophysical data suggest that the initial temperature of the Moon was strongly peaked toward the lunar surface. To explain such an initial temperature distribution, a simple model of accretion process of the Moon is presented. The model assumes that the Moon was formed from the accumulation of the solid particles or gases in the isolated, closed cloud. Two equations are derived to calculate the accretion rate and surface temperature of the accreting Moon. Numerical calculations are made for a wide range of the parameters particle concentration and particle velocity in the cloud. A limited set of the parameters gives the initial temperature profiles as required by geochemical and geophysical data. These models of the proto-moon cloud indicate that the lunar outershell, about 400 km thick, was partially or completely molten just after the accretion of the Moon and that the Moon should have been formed in a period shorter than 1000 yr. If the Moon formed at a position nearer to the Earth than its present one, the Moon might have been formed in a period of less than one year.On leave from Geophysical Institute, University of Tokyo.Contribution No. 2104, Division of Geological and Planetary Sciences, California Institute of Technology.  相似文献   

Cathodoluminescence microscopy and spectroscopy of forsterite from Kaba meteorite: An application to the study of hydrothermal alteration of parent body

Highly forsteritic olivine (Fo: 99.2–99.7) in the Kaba meteorite emits bright cathodoluminescence (CL). CL spectra of red luminescent forsterite grains have two broad emission bands at approximately 630 nm (impurity center of divalent Mn ions) in the red region and above 700 nm (trivalent Cr ions) in the red–IR region. The cores of the grains show CL blue luminescence giving a characteristic broad band emission at 400 nm, also associated with minor red emissions related to Mn and Cr ions. CL color variation of Kaba forsterite is attributed to structural defects. Electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA) analysis shows concentrations of Ca, Al, and Ti in the center of the forsterite grain. The migration of diffusible ions of Mn, Cr, and Fe to the rim of the Kaba meteoritic forsterite was controlled by the hydrothermal alteration at relatively low temperature (estimated at about 250 °C), while Ca and Al ions might still lie in the core. A very unusual phase of FeO (wüstite) was also observed, which may be a terrestrial alteration product of FeNi‐metal.  相似文献
