A mathematical model to predict the inelastic response of a steel frame: Formulation of the model     

Hugh D. McNiven  Vernon C. Matzen 《地震工程与结构动力学》1978,6(2):189-202

The purpose of this research is to use data from experiments to formulate a mathematical model that will predict the non-linear response of a single-storey steel frame to an earthquake input. The process used in this formulation is system identification. The form of the model is a second-order non-linear differential equation with linear viscous damping and Ramberg—Osgood type hysteresis. The damping coefficient and the three parameters in the hysteretic model are to be established. An integral weighted mean squared error function is used to evaluate the [goodness of fit] between the model's response and the structure's response when both are subjected to the same excitation. The function includes errors in displacement and acceleration and is integrated from zero to a time T, which may be the full duration of the recorded response or only a portion of it. The parameters are adjusted using a modified Gauss-Newton method until the error function is minimized. The computer program incorporating these steps in the system identification process is verified with simulated data. Results given in the paper show that in every case the program converges in few iterations to the assigned set of parameters.  相似文献   

A mathematical model to predict the inelastic response of a steel frame: Establishment of parameters from shaking table experiments     

Vernon C. Matzen  Hugh D. McNtven 《地震工程与结构动力学》1978,6(2):203-219

The purpose of this research is to use data from experiments to formulate a mathematical model that will predict the non-linear response of a single-storey steel frame to an earthquake input. The process used in this formulation is system identification. In experiments performed on a shaking table, the frame was subjected to two earthquake motions at several intensities. In each case the frame underwent severe inelastic deformation. A computer program which incorporates the concepts of system identification makes use of the recorded data to establish four parameters in a non-linear mathematical model. When different amounts of data are used in the program, parameter sets are established which give the best model response for that amount of test data. The resulting sets of parameters reflect the way in which the properties of the structure change during the excitation. However, when the full durations of the different excitations are used, the sets of parameters are almost identical. For each of these sets of parameters, the correlation of the computed accelerations with the measured is excellent, and the shape of the computed displacement response compares very well with the measured response, although the permanent offset of the displacements is not computed exactly. Suggestions are given on how to overcome this deficiency in the mathematical model.  相似文献   

Chromite in the mantle section of the Oman ophiolite: A new genetic model   总被引：9，自引：0，他引：9  

Hugh  Rollinson 《Island Arc》2005,14(4):542-550

Abstract   This paper reviews the compositional data (major elements, platinum group element [PGE] concentrations, Os- and O-isotopes) for chromites from the mantle section of the Oman ophiolite. Chromites in chromitite from the Oman ophiolite lie on a compositional spectrum between high-Cr♯, boninite-like and low-Cr♯, mid-oceanic ridge basalt-like end-members. The high-Cr♯ end-member is low in Ti, has a fractionated PGE pattern and is enriched in iridium group-platinum group elements (IPGE). The low-Cr♯ end-member has higher Ti and an unfractionated PGE pattern. The compositional variation in the chromitites reflects their crystallization from a range of different melt compositions. It is proposed that this wide variation in melt compositions was produced by the process of a melt–rock reaction, whereby a basaltic melt has reacted with harzburgitic mantle to yield successively more Cr-rich melts. In contrast to previous models, this approach does not require a change in the tectonic environment to explain the different chromite types.  相似文献   

O/O mapping and hydrogeology of a short-lived (≈10 years) fumarolic (>500°C) meteoric–hydrothermal event in the upper part of the 0.76 Ma Bishop Tuff outflow sheet, California     

Elizabeth Warner Holt  Hugh P. Taylor Jr. 《Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research》1998,83(1-2)

¹⁸O/¹⁶O data from the 200-m-thick, 0.76 Ma Bishop Tuff outflow sheet provide evidence for a vigorous, short-lived (≈10 years), high-temperature, fumarolic meteoric–hydrothermal event. This is proved by: (1) the juxtaposition in the upper, partially welded Bishop Tuff of low-¹⁸O groundmass/glass (δ¹⁸O=−5 to +3) with coexisting quartz and feldspar phenocrysts having magmatic δ¹⁸O values (+8.7±0.3; +7.5±0.3); and (2) the fact that these kinds of ¹⁸O/¹⁶O signatures correlate very well with morphological features and mapped zones of fumarolic activity. Profiles of δ¹⁸O with depth in the Bishop Tuff within the fumarole area define a 40- to 50-m-thick, low-¹⁸O, stratigraphic zone that is sandwiched between the essentially unwelded near-surface portion of the tuff and an underlying, densely welded black tuff that displays magmatic ¹⁸O/¹⁶O values. Shallow-dipping columnar joints and other fumarolic features (i.e., subhorizontal tubular conduits and steep fissures) correlate very well with these pervasively devitrified, low-¹⁸O zones. The base of the low-¹⁸O zone is extremely sharp (3‰ per meter) and is located directly above the transition from partially welded tuff to densely welded black tuff. The observed average whole-rock ¹⁸O-depletions within this low-¹⁸O zone are about 6–7‰, requiring meteoric water/rock ratios in excess of 0.24 in mass units. Rainfall on the surface of the tuff would not have been high enough to supply this much H₂O in the short lifetime of fumarolic activity, suggesting that some recharge must have been from groundwater flow through the upper part of the tuff, above the sloping (1°–5°) top of the impermeable lower zone. This is compatible with the observation that the fumarolic areas roughly correlate with the preeruptive regional drainage pattern. Some of this recharge may in part have been from the lake that filled Long Valley caldera, which was dammed by the Bishop Tuff up to the level of this boundary between the partially and densely welded zones (≈7000 ft, the elevation of the highest Long Valley Lake shorelines). Gazis et al. had previously shown that the 2.8-Ma intracaldera Chegem Tuff from the Caucasus Mountains exhibits exactly the same kind of ¹⁸O-signature that we have correlated with fossil fumaroles in the Bishop Tuff outflow sheet. Although not recognized as such by McConnell et al.; ¹⁸O/¹⁶O data from drill-hole samples from the intracaldera Bishop Tuff in Long Valley also display this characteristic ¹⁸O signature (i.e., analogous δ¹⁸O-depth profiles, as well as low-¹⁸O groundmass coexisting with high-¹⁸O feldspar phenocrysts). This fumarolic ¹⁸O/¹⁶O signature is observed to much greater depths (≈650–750 m) in the intracaldera tuffs (≈1500 m thick) than it is in the ≈200-m-thick Bishop Tuff outflow sheet (≈80 m depth).  相似文献   

Non-equilibrium,metasomatic18O/16O effects in upper mantle mineral assemblages     

Robert T. Gregory  Hugh P. Taylor Jr. 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1986,93(1):124-135

Kyser, O'Neil, and Carmichael (1981, 1982) measured the ¹⁸O values of coexisting minerals from peridotite nodules in alkali basalts and kimberlites, interpreting the nodules as equilibrium assemblages. Based mainly on the systematics revealed in ¹⁸O-olivinevs. ¹⁸O-pyroxene diagrams, we have re-interpreted the Kyser et al. data as non-equilibrium phenomena. On such- diagrams, the mantle nodules exhibit data arrays that cut across the ¹⁸O=zero line; these arrays strongly resemble the non-equilibrium quartz-feldspar and feldspar-pyroxene ¹⁸O arrays that we now know arediagnostic of hydrothermally altered plutonic igneous rocks. Thus, the peridotites appear to have been open systems that underwent metasomatic exchange with an external, oxygen-bearing fluid (CO₂ magma, H₂O, etc.); during this event, the relatively inert pyroxenes exchanged at a much slower rate than did the coexisting olivines and spinels. This accounts for the correlation between ¹⁸O pyroxene-olivine and the whole-rock ¹⁸O of the peridotites, which is a major difficulty with the equilibrium interpretation. The metasomatic¹⁸O-enrichments of the peridotites can be related to metasomatic enrichments in LIL elements and the development of amphibole and phlogopite. This type of precursor metasomatic activity can explain the development of alkali basalt magmas, as well as leucitites and nephelinites (all of which tend to be slightly¹⁸O-rich relative to MORB, with ¹⁸O=+6 to +7.5). Fluids with appropriate ¹⁸O values to explain the open-system metasomatic effects can be produced by exchange with ancient subducted oceanic crust (eclogite). However, fluid/rock ratios of about 0.4 to 2.5 are required, indicating that this cannot be a mantle-wide phenomenon. Also, these non-equilibrium effects are apparently transient phenomena, probably associated with the eruptive events that brought the nodules to the surface; at characteristic mantle temperatures, the effects would likely disappear in a few tens of millions of years, or less, implying that the ultramafic nodules are not typical samples of the upper mantle.Contribution No. 4156, Publications of the Division of Geological and Planetary Sciences, California Institute of Technology  相似文献   

Possible non-equilibrium oxygen isotope effects in mantle nodules,an alternative to the Kyser-O'Neil-Carmichael18O/16O geothermometer     

Robert T. Gregory  Hugh P. Taylor Jr.  T. Kurtis Kyser  James R. O'Neil  Ian S. E. Carmichael 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1986,93(1):114-119

Kyser, O'Neil, and Carmichael (1981, 1982) measured the ¹⁸O values of coexisting minerals from peridotite nodules in alkali basalts and kimberlites, interpreting the nodules as equilibrium assemblages. Using Ca-Mg-Fe element-partition geothermometric data, they proposed an empirical¹⁸O/¹⁶O geothermometer: T(°C)=1,151–173–68 ², where is the per mil pyroxene-olivine fractionation. However, this geothermometer has an unusual crossover at 1,150 °C, and in contrast to what might be expected during closed-system equilibrium exchange, the most abundant mineral in the nodules (olivine) shows a much greater range in ¹⁸O (+4.4 to +7.5) than the much less abundant pyroxene (all 50 pyroxene analyses from spinel peridotites lie within the interval +5.3 to +6.5). On ¹⁸O-olivinevs. ¹⁸O-pyroxene diagrams, the mantle nodules exhibit data arrays that cut across the ¹⁸O=zero line. These arrays strongly resemble the non-equilibrium quartzfeldspar and feldspar-pyroxene ¹⁸O arrays that we now know are diagnostic of hydrothermally altered plutonic igneous rocks. Thus, we have re-interpreted the Kyser et al. data as non-equilibrium phenomena, casting doubt on their empirical geothermometer. The peridotite nodules appear to have been open systems that underwent metasomatic exchange with an external, oxygen-bearing fluid (CO₂, magma, H₂O, etc.); during this event, the relatively inert pyroxenes exchanged at a much slower rate than did the coexisting olivines and spinels, in agreement with available exchange-rate and diffusion measurements on these minerals. This accounts for the correlation between ¹⁸O pyroxene-olivine and the whole-rock ¹⁸O of the peridotites, which is a major difficulty with the equilibrium interpretation.Contribution No. 3978, Publications of the Division of Geological and Planetary Sciences, California Institute of Technology  相似文献   

Fe-Mn partitioning between garnet and ilmenite: experimental calibration and applications   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Mark I. Pownceby  Victor J. Wall  Hugh St. C. O'Neill 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1987,97(1):116-126

A new mineralogic geothermometer based on the partitioning of Fe and Mn between garnet and ilmenite has been calibrated by reversal experiments in the P-T range 600–900° C, 2 and 5 kbars and for fO₂=QFM. The results constitute a sensitive geothermometer applicable over a broad range of composition and conditions. Garnetilmenite thermometry has advantages relative to existing geothermometers because of its accurate calibration, marked temperature sensitivity and the chemical and structural simplicity of the crystalline solutions involved. Application to natural assemblages reveals that the garnet-ilmenite geothermometer yields temperatures that agree well with other estimates. The reactivity of, and relatively rapid Fe-Mn diffusion in ilmenite may lead to retrograde resetting of high temperature partition values, but these factors may be useful for estimating rock cooling rates. Analysis of the experimental data indicates minor positive deviations from ideality for Fe-Mn garnets and ilmenites. Absolute magnitudes of interaction parameters (W _AB) derived from a regression analysis are subject to considerable uncertainty. The partition coefficient is, however, strongly dependent on the difference between solution parameters. These differences are well constrained with a magnitude of W _FeMn ^ilm –W _FeMn ^gar 300 cal mol^–1. The accuracy and applicability of garnet-ilmenite thermometry will improve with the availability of better thermodynamic data for garnet crystalline solutions.Abbreviations and symbols used in text R universal gas constant (cal/mol/°K) - T absolute temperature (°K or °C) - P pressure (kbars) - V ⁰ volume change of reaction (1) - H _{1, T} ⁰ standard state enthalpy change of reaction (1) at 1 bar and the T of interest, in cal/mole - S _T ⁰ entropy change of reaction (1) at T of interest, in cal/mole/°K - G _P,T ⁰ standard free energy change of reaction (1) at the T and P of interest, in cal/mole - distribution coefficient for Fe-Mn partitioning between garnet and ilmenite - K apparent equilibrium coefficient for reaction (1) - _i ^j activity of component i in phase j - W _A-B binary A-B interaction (Margules) parameter - gar garnet - ilm ilmenite - biot biotite - ol olivine - opx orthopyroxene  相似文献   

A linear mathematical model for the seismic inplane behaviour of brick masonry walls part 2: Determination of model parameters through optimization using experimental data     

Haluk Sucuolu  Yalcin Mengi  Hugh D. McNiven 《地震工程与结构动力学》1984,12(3):327-346

The parameters appearing in the mixture and effective modulus models proposed in Part 1 are determined through optimization by matching theoretical and experimental responses. The optimization analysis is performed in frequency space. The response quantities chosen to be matched are the complex frequency response functions (experimental and theoretical) relating the Fourier transforms of top and base accelerations of the wall. Computations in optimization analysis are carried out by introducing an object (error) function and minimizing it using the Gauss-Newton method. The results show that the mixture model is capable of predicting accurately the dynamic response of masonry walls up to a frequency which is well above the second modal frequency, whereas the effective modulus model describes the wall behaviour only up to the first modal frequency. Furthermore, it is shown that the mixture model is still valid when micro cracks, which may exist between the mortar and brick constituents, are present.  相似文献   

Vertical profile of artificial radionuclide concentrations in the Central Arctic Ocean     

Hugh D. Livingston  Stuart L. Kupferman  Vaughan T. Bowen  R.M. Moore 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1984,48(11):2195-2203

The artificial radionuclides ⁹⁰Sr, ¹³⁷Cs, ²³⁸Pu, ^239,240Pu and ²⁴¹Am have been measured in eight water samples collected in 1979, at intervals from surface to bottom, through the ice at the LOREX satellite camp SS near the North Pole. Differences in the concentrations and ratios of these nuclides, compared with values measured, over time, in the various water masses that flow into the Arctic Ocean, can be used as semi-independent checks on rates of flow to the LOREX stations and on residence times in the Arctic Ocean. An unexpected finding was that water labelled with low-level liquid waste from the Windscale plant on the Irish Sea is a major component of the 1500 m LOREX sample, and has reached there in no more than eight to ten years. Even from this one station in the Polar Ocean, estimation of the inventories of the various radionuclides is good enough to emphasize the importance of horizontal advection of the various supply terms to the Arctic.  相似文献
