加载破裂和卸载破裂的焦散阴影区动态特征的实验研究

以实时全息干涉计量方法和焦散阴影光学法，用有机玻璃试样直观、形象地研究加载过程和卸载过程破裂时的应力（应变）场、塑性区或成核区（阴影区）不同地动态特征变化．结果发现，在低应力时，预制裂缝端点先出现应变核（条纹密集区），进而形成焦散阴影区．这些核和阴影区会随荷载增加变大，随卸载而减小．在一定的压力范围内重复加载卸载（循环加载），焦散阴影区则反复增大缩小；但在高应力时，尤其在将出现大破裂时，加载和卸载的焦散阴影区变化是不可逆的，其变化也完全不同．加载破裂时的焦散阴影区由慢到快迅速扩展；而卸载时的焦散阴影区则扩展较慢，并且在尖角形前方有一圆形阴影．      

Experimental Study of the Process Zone,Nucleation Zone and Plastic Area of Earthquakes by the Shadow Optical Method of Caustics

-- On a plexiglass sample, a penetrating crack was prefabricated by laser. The crack is inclined towards the major principal stress †₁(†_y) at an angle of about 30°. Using this sample and by means of shadow optical method of caustics and microcrack location, the process zone, nucleation zone and plastic area of earthquakes were studied experimentally, and the strain variation in the shadow area was monitored. From the result, we comprehend the following. When the stress †_y was increased to a certain value, shadow areas were formed around the prefabricated crack and at its tips, with that at the tips being larger. These shadow areas become larger with the increase of load and smaller with unloading. In the shadow area the strain was inhomogeneous: it was very large in some places but very small in others. When the shadow area reached a critical state, microcracks appeared at the tips of the prefabricated crack. Microcracks appeared on one side of the prefabricated crack where the strain and the shadow were both smaller. The zone with concentrated microcracks, or the process zone, was always located at the crack tip; this zone together with a half length of the original crack formed the nucleation zone which fell into the shadow area but was smaller than it. The shadow optical area of caustics bears a certain quantitative relation with the plastic area. Therefore, if an appropriate method is available to obtain the shadow optical area of caustics, it would be possible to detect the area with strong differential deformation change, and hence to determine the zone where strong fracture (an earthquake) would take place.

A study on relation between acoustic emission and characteristic displacement field on the sample with multi en echelon structures — The theoretic and experimental explorations of strain gap

Based on the phenomena that the deformation gap was observed before the great Tangshang earthquake, this paper discusses the strain gap according to test and theory. The (strain) patterns were recorded photographically by realtime holographic interferometry and shadow optical method of caustics, as soon as the loading process started. In the meantime, the AE (acoustic emission) signals were recorded by a micro crack information storage-analysis system. According to damage theory and location of micro fracture, we have studied the stain gap and gained: a) It is necessary that strain gap appears under the condition of linear elasticity theory, and its situation is relatively stable, corresponding to stress concentration. b) Micro fractures, which appear initially at area of high stress, occur rarely at the strain gap, and their locations are finally in the zone between the stress concentration area and the strain gap, which indicate the clusters or groups. However, the major macro fracture (final rupture) started from the shadow areas, and then grew quickly towards the strain gaps, which resulted in failure of sample.

Experimental Study of the Earthquake Recurrence Period and the Trend of Post-seismic Development

In order to study the earthquake recurrence and the characteristics of earthquake series, rupture tests of rock samples and plexiglass samples were made. On rock samples, a number of acoustic emission (AE) and strain measuring points were deployed; the load was one side direct shear. The variation characteristics of AE and strain at different detecting points around the extra large fracture were observed and studied. On plexiglass samples, a series of inclined cracks were prefabricated by a small-scale compressive testing machine. The samples were then loaded on a shockproof platen, when the samples were loaded, the stress intensity factor (SIF) was determined by the laser interferometric technique and shadow optical method of caustics. The fracture conditions such as material toughness around the extra large fracture were also studied. From those experimental results and the theory of fracture mechanics, the earthquake recurrence period and the trend of post-seismic development were studied.

Effect of overconsolidation ratio on dynamic properties of binary mixtures of silica particles

Overconsolidated soils are ubiquitous in nature due to multiple mechanisms; however, the stress-history-based studies of small strain stiffness on binary mixtures, such as silty sand, are limited even though natural sand deposits are commonly mixtures of sand particles with varying amounts of fines. Consequently, this study quantified the stress-history-based dynamic properties of binary mixtures, such as sand-sand mixtures with different size small particles, and silty sand mixtures with small amounts of non-plastic fines, up to the critical fines content. By performing bender element tests on those mixtures according to fines content, size ratio, and overconsolidation ratio, the stress-history-based G_max of binary mixtures was evaluated. For the relevant data analysis, the OCR (overconsolidation ratio) exponent in the G_max formulation was expressed in terms of stress exponents during loading and unloading. It was found that the effect of OCR on the estimation of G_max increased with a decrease in size ratio (or increase in size difference), since the stress exponents during loading increased more significantly with a decrease in size ratio due to the pronounced change in interparticle coordination between large grains. However, the variation of stress exponents during unloading of different mixtures was relatively small due to the prevalent elastic deformation. It was demonstrated that the maximum stress history effect of tested mixed soils was observed at a fines content of approximately 5%, which was smaller than critical fines content of silty sand. This behavior was attributable to the delay in critical fines content observed during unloading, when compared to that observed during loading.

南京河西淤泥质粉质粘土卸荷回弹变形研究

通过大量室内固结回弹试验,研究了南京河西地区淤泥质粉质粘土的卸荷回弹变形规律。固结-回弹-再压缩曲线表明该地区淤泥质粉质粘土的弹性变形要比其塑性变形量小得多,卸荷再压缩后,土体的压缩性也明显降低;通过分析卸荷比和回弹率、回弹应变以及回弹模量的关系曲线,确定了该地区淤泥质粉质粘土的临界卸荷比和极限卸荷比指标,从而可以确定开挖卸荷的影响深度范围。卸荷回弹变形随着卸荷滞留时间的增长,有先增大后减小的特点。试验结果表明,在卸荷与加荷作用下,土体的变形特性、变形模量有着明显差别。

Nonlinear behavior of high-damping rubber bearings under horizontal bidirectional loading: full-scale tests and analytical modeling

Horizontal bidirectional loading tests are conducted for real-sized high-damping rubber (HDR) bearings with diameters of 700 mm (HDR700) and 1300 mm (HDR1300). The hysteresis loops of these bearings under bidirectional horizontal loadings are compared with those under unidirectional loadings. The results show that the bearing force measurement in the primary direction of loading increases when there is displacement in the orthogonal direction. Unusually, the maximum restoring force in the orthogonal direction to the primary loading direction occurs near zero displacement. On the basis of the observations of the restoring forces, a rate-independent model is proposed. This model simulates well the test results under both bidirectional loading and unidirectional loading. It can reproduce the irregular restoring forces characteristics around zero displacement as described above. Bidirectional loading induced twist deformation in the HDR bearings that increased local shear strains. This phenomenon results in an early failure as observed in HDR700. The additional shear strain is estimated based on the twist deformation measured by video image analysis. The comparison of the nominal total shear stress demonstrates that the increase of shear stress because of bidirectional loading occurs when the average shear strain is larger than about 200%. The larger the shear strain, the greater the bidirectional effect. It is shown that the nominal total shear stress of average strain of 350% under bidirectional circular loading pattern is approximately the same as the average shear strain of 400% under unidirectional loading. This means that the average shear strain of 350% under a bidirectional circular loading corresponds to a local shear strain of 400%. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Effects of the Nepal MS8.1 Earthquake in 2015 on Seismic Activity in the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

We obtained the displacement and deformation caused by the 2015 Nepal M_S8.1 earthquake adopting the finite element method, and analyzed the displacement and deformation characteristics and effect of three large earthquakes on seismic activity in the Qinghai-Tibetan block. Our primary results suggest southward movement of the Qinghai-Tibetan block is caused by a large earthquake occurring on thrust fault in the Himalayan zone, the displacement direction is reverse to the background displacement. The occurrence of these large earthquakes will result in stress unloading and earthquake activity will be weakened in stress unloading areas. Through the simulation results, we can detect the distribution area of stress loading and unloading caused by large earthquakes. Simultaneously, it provides a fundamental evidence for determination of earthquake activity trend.

龙滩库区库水加卸载过程深部电阻率变化与水库地震

广西龙滩库区于2009年度至2010年2个年度库水加卸载及渗透过程中,在交比屯、坪上、中良坪和向阳4个地点进行了5期次大地电磁定点测量,观测频段为320 Hz~1000 s.结合区域深部电性结构探测研究成果分析.结果显示,4个测点位于不同的岩性和深部电性结构区域,4个测点上观测的5期次视电阻率值发生变化的频段不同,位于库区中游的坪上、中良坪和向阳3个测点上5期次测量的视电阻率数值在频率1 Hz以下频段在高水位时段测量值小、在低水位时段测量值大,位于库首区域的交比屯测点在最高水位时段视电阻率数值最小,说明库水在加卸载及渗透过程中对地下介质有明显影响,库区上游库水渗透影响深度可达7 km左右,在坝首区域可达10 km.龙滩水库区4个地震丛集区中的3个地震丛集区的震源区位于具有低阻特性的二迭系下统和石炭系地层的下部,以岩溶水体诱发地震为主;位于坝首地震丛集区的震源区位于上宽下窄似"铆钉状"的高阻体下部,推测是因水库蓄水后水体压力增大和库水渗透作用下,在聚集高变形能的脆性高电阻体内部发生的地震.电磁探测结果说明库水渗透对龙滩水库区地震孕育和发生起着重要、直接的作用.     

大理岩试件中裂缝的逆向共轭剪破裂

本文介绍了以激光全息干涉法观测单轴压缩下,大理岩岩样表面的变形位移场。全息干涉图可以反映出由于岩石内部微裂隙丛集激增所导致的变形局部化,实验采用板状大理岩试件,在中心处预制了不同角度的裂缝,实验在MTS伺服压机中加载直至宏观破坏,观测了裂隙的发展过程。实验表明:当裂缝角小于45时,先在裂缝尖端处的张应力集中部位出现新裂纹,它的起裂角(与原裂缝的交角)90,裂纹弯向压力方向并趋于稳定。当>45时,在上述张裂纹稳定后,在裂缝尖端附近再次发生张裂,其起裂角60,同样弯向压力方向后稳定。在这些前期张破裂稳定后,在张裂的相反方向,也即裂缝的共轭方向上,出现内部微裂隙的丛集,并随后发生宏观的剪破坏,我们认为此逆向剪切破坏与大理岩的多晶组构有关,与应变弱化过程中变形和应力的调整有关。      

Experimental Study on the Stick-slip Phenomenon of Intact Granite under Solid Confining Pressure

In this paper,compression tests of intact granite samples have been made in a triaxial testing machine with solid confining pressure.From the tests,the influences of confining pressure and loading rate(axial strain rate)on the deformation and fracture process of rock samples,on the stress drop and recurrence interval of stick-slip events,and on the geometric distribution of the main fracture have been studied.The experimental results show that the loading rate influences the stress drop and recurrence interval of stick-slip events greatly.At lower loading rates,the stress drop of stick-slip events is greater,their recurrence interval is longer and shows no regularity in distribution.When the loading rate goes higher,the stress drop will become smaller and the recurrence interval will tend to be constant and stick-slip events show a quasi-periodicity.At lower confining pressures and strain rates,the main fracture may evolve into 2 X-shaped conjugate shear faults; whereas at higher confining pressures and     

Evolving Towards a Critical Point: A Review of Accelerating Seismic Moment/Energy Release Prior to Large and Great Earthquakes

—There is growing evidence that some proportion of large and great earthquakes are preceded by a period of accelerating seismic activity of moderate-sized earthquakes. These moderate earthquakes occur during the years to decades prior to the occurrence of the large or great event and over a region larger than its rupture zone. The size of the region in which these moderate earthquakes occur scales with the size of the ensuing mainshock, at least in continental regions. A number of numerical simulation studies of faults and fault systems also exhibit similar behavior. The combined observational and simulation evidence suggests that the period of increased moment release in moderate earthquakes signals the establishment of long wavelength correlations in the regional stress field. The central hypothesis in the critical point model for regional seismicity is that it is only during these time periods that a region of the earth’s crust is truly in or near a "self-organized critical" (SOC) state, such that small earthquakes are capable of cascading into much larger events. The occurrence of a large or great earthquake appears to dissipate a sufficient proportion of the accumulated regional strain to destroy these long wavelength stress correlations and bring the region out of a SOC state. Continued tectonic strain accumulation and stress transfer during smaller earthquakes eventually re-establishes the long wavelength stress correlations that allow for the occurrence of larger events. These increases in activity occur over longer periods and larger regions than quiescence, which is usually observed within the rupture zone of a coming large event. The two phenomena appear to have different physical bases and are not incompatible with one another.
