The crack-induced HTI anisotropy can be characterized by the weakly anisotropic parameters introduced by Thomsen. The seismic scattering theory can be utilized for the inversion for the anisotropic parameters in weakly aniso- tropic and heterogeneous HTI media. Based on the seismic scattering theory, we first derived the linearized PP- and PS-wave reflection coefficients in terms of P- and S-wave impedances, density as well as three anisotropic parameters in HTI media. Then, we proposed a novel Bayesian Mar- kov chain Monte Carlo inversion method of PP- and PS- wave for six elastic and anisotropic parameters directly. Tests on synthetic azimuthal seismic data contaminated by random errors demonstrated that this method appears more accurate, anti-noise and stable owing to the usage of the constrained PS-wave compared with the standards inver- sion scheme taking only the PP-wave into account.展开更多

Our results reveal that there is an offset limitation for both PP- and PS-waves in elliptical anisotropy fitting, and that PS-waves show a wider applicable offset range and larger observable azimuthal anisotropy than PP-waves. The major axis of the elliptical fit to the amplitudes of the R-component is perpendicular to the fracture strike, which is opposite to that in PP-wave analysis. The azimuthal interval travel time of PS-waves shows a nearly elliptical distribution and the major axis of the fit ellipse is perpendicular to the fracture strike, which is same as that in PP-wave analysis. For data within the applicable offset range, the anisotropic magnitude obtained from amplitude and travel time attributes of PP- and PS-waves exhibits a dependence on fracture density, and the major to minor axis ratio of the fit ellipse may be used to infer the relative distribution of fracture densities.展开更多

Merging different data to achieve a consistent model becomes an essential requirement. Based on the S-wave velocity and azimuthal anisotropy obtained from different contiguous regions, this paper introduces three kinds of methods for merging data. For data from different regions with partial overlapping areas, the merged results could be calculated by direct average weighting(DAW), linear dynamic weighting(LDW), and Gaussian function weighting(GFW), respectively. Data tests demonstrate that the LDW and GFW methods can effectively merge data by reasonably allocating data weights to capitalize on the data quality advantages in each zone. In particular, they can resolve the data smoothness at the boundaries of data areas, resulting in a consistent data model in larger regions. This paper presents the effective methods and valuable experiences that can be referred to as advancing data merging technology.展开更多

Then Mg alloy sheets with the thickness of 1 mm are achieved after five passes rolling at 300 ℃. A double peak and disperse basal texture is generated after pre- rolling at higher temperatures when the non-basal slips are more active. So, the texture intensity of pre-rolled samples is reduced. Moreover, the distribution condition of in-grain misorientation axes (a method to analyze the activation of slips) shows that the pyramidal slip is quite active during deformation. After annealing on final rolled sheets, the texture distributions are changed and the intensity of texture reduces obviously due to static recrystallization. In particular, the r-value and in-plane anisotropy of pre-rolled samples are obviously lower than those of sample without pre-rolling.展开更多

Many researchers have identified these faults as potential strong-earthquake risk zones. In this study, we leveraged a dense seismic array to investigate the high-resolution shallow crust shear wave velocity(Vs) structure beneath the junction of the Zemuhe Fault Zone and the Xiaojiang Fault Zone, one of the most complex parts of the eastern boundary of the South Chuan–Dian Block. We analyzed the distribution of microseismic events detected between November 2022 and February 2023 based on the fine-scale Vs model obtained. The microseismicity in the study region was clustered into three groups, all spatially related to major faults in this region. These microseismic events indicate near-vertical fault planes, consistent with the fault geometry revealed by other researchers.Moreover, these microseismic events are influenced by the impoundment of the downstream Baihetan Reservoir and the complex tectonic stress near the junction of the Zemuhe Fault Zone and the Xiaojiang Fault Zone. The depths of these microseismic events are shallower in the junction zone, whereas moving south along the Xiaojiang Fault Zone, the microseismic events become deeper.Additionally, we compared our fine-scale local Vs model with velocity models obtained by other researchers and found that our model offers greater detail in characterizing subsurface heterogeneity while demonstrating improved reliability in delineating fault systems.展开更多

The microstructure contained columnar grains with (111) texture in the vertical plane (90° sample), while a large equiaxed grain with (100) texture was produced in the horizontal plane (0° sample). As for 45° sample, a large number of equiaxed grains and a few columnar grains with (111) texture can be observed. The sample produced at a 0° orientation demonstrates the highest tensile strength, whereas the 90° sample exhibits the greatest elongation. Conversely, the 45° sample displays the least favorable overall performance. As the tests temperature increased from room temperature to 600℃, the anisotropy rate of ultimate tensile strength, yield strength and ductility between 0° and 45° samples, decreased from 8.98 to 6.96%, 2.36 to 1.28%, 19.93 to 12.23%, as well as between 0° and 90° samples decreased from 4.87 to 4.03%, 11.88 to 7.21% and 14.11 to 6.89%, respectively, because of the recovery of oriented columnar grains.展开更多

This study is based on the 3D fi nite-diff erence forward modeling of axis anisotropy using the reciprocity theorem to calculate the Jacobian matrix by applying the search method to automatically search for the Lagrange operator. The aim is to establish inversion iteration equations to achieve the axis anisotropic Occam's 3D inversion of tensor CSAMT in data space. Further, we obtain an underground axis anisotropic 3D geoelectric model by inverting the impedance data of tensor CSAMT. Two synthetic data examples show that using the isotropic tensor CSAMT algorithm to directly invert data in anisotropic media can generate false anomalies, leading to incorrect geological interpretations. Meanwhile, the proposed anisotropic inversion algorithm can eff ectively improve the accuracy of data inversion in anisotropic media. Further, the inversion examples verify the eff ectiveness and stability of the algorithm.展开更多

Aiming at the azimuthally anisotropic structure in the upper crust and seismogenic tectonics in the Hefei segment of this fault, we collected phase velocity dispersion data of fundamental mode Rayleigh waves from ambient noise cross-correlation functions of ~400 temporal seismographs in an area of approximately 80 × 70 km along the fault zone. The period band of the dispersion data was ~0.5–10 s. We inverted for the upper crustal three-dimensional(3-D) shear velocity model with azimuthal anisotropy from the surface to 10 km depth by using a 3-D direct azimuthal anisotropy inversion method. The inversion result shows the spatial distribution characteristics of the tectonic units in the upper crust. Additionally, the deformation of the Tan-Lu Fault Zone and its conjugated fault systems could be inferred from the anisotropy model. In particular, the faults that have remained active from the early and middle Pleistocene control the anisotropic characteristics of the upper crustal structure in this area. The direction of fast axes near the fault zone area in the upper crust is consistent with the strike of the faults, whereas for the region far away from the fault zone, the direction of fast axes is consistent with the direction of the regional principal stress caused by plate movement. Combined with the azimuthal anisotropy models in the deep crust and uppermost mantle from the surface wave and Pn wave, the different anisotropic patterns caused by the Tan-Lu Fault Zone and its conjugated fault system nearby are shown in the upper and lower crust. Furthermore,by using the double-difference method, we relocated the Lujiang earthquake series, which contained 32 earthquakes with a depth shallower than 10 km. Both the Vs model and earthquake relocation results indicate that earthquakes mostly occurred in the vicinity of structural boundaries with fractured media, with high-level development of cracks and small-scale faults jammed between more rigid areas.展开更多

文摘When inverting the S-wave velocity and azimuthal anisotropy from ambient noise data, it is always to obtain the partial overlapped inversion results in contiguous different regions. Merging different data to achieve a consistent model becomes an essential requirement. Based on the S-wave velocity and azimuthal anisotropy obtained from different contiguous regions, this paper introduces three kinds of methods for merging data. For data from different regions with partial overlapping areas, the merged results could be calculated by direct average weighting(DAW), linear dynamic weighting(LDW), and Gaussian function weighting(GFW), respectively. Data tests demonstrate that the LDW and GFW methods can effectively merge data by reasonably allocating data weights to capitalize on the data quality advantages in each zone. In particular, they can resolve the data smoothness at the boundaries of data areas, resulting in a consistent data model in larger regions. This paper presents the effective methods and valuable experiences that can be referred to as advancing data merging technology.

文摘As a prototypical half-metallic ferromagnet,La_(0.67)Sr_(0.33)MnO_(3)(LSMO)has been extensively studied due to its versatile physical properties and great potential in spintronic applications.However,the weak perpendicular magnetic anisotropy(PMA)limits the controllability and detection of magnetism in LSMO,thus hindering the realization of oxide-based spintronic devices with low energy consumption and high integration level.Motivated by this challenge,we develop an experimental approach to enhance the PMA of LSMO epitaxial films.By cooperatively introducing 4d Ru doping and a moderate compressive strain,the maximum uniaxial magnetic anisotropy in Ru-doped LSMO can reach 3.0×10^(5)J/m^(3)at 10 K.Furthermore,we find a significant anisotropic magnetoresistance effect in these Ru-doped LSMO films,which is dominated by the strong PMA.Our findings offer an effective pathway to harness and detect the orientations of magnetic moments in LSMO films,thus promoting the feasibility of oxide-based spintronic devices,such as spin valves and magnetic tunnel junctions.

文摘Although the plastic loading can enhance creep deformation and yield strength,the anisotropic Stress Relaxation Aging(SRA)behavior and mechanism under plastic loading remain unclear,which presents a significant challenge in accurately shaping aluminum alloy panels.In this study,the SRA behavior of 2195-T4 Al-Cu-Li alloys were thoroughly studied under initial loading stresses within the elastic(210/250 MPa)and plastic(380/420 MPa)ranges at 180℃by stress relaxation and tensile tests as well as microstructure characterization.The findings reveal that compared with those under elastic loadings,in-plane anisotropy(IPA)values of the stress relaxation amount,yield strength and fracture elongation under plastic loadings are reduced by 60%–80%,70%–90% and 72%–89%,respectively.Similarly,IPA values of precipitate size in grains and PrecipitationFree Zones(PFZ)width at grain boundaries under plastic loading decrease by 31.4%and 94.4%respectively.These results indicate plastic loading significantly weakens the anisotropic SRA behavior,owing to numerous uniformly distributed fine T1phases and small IPA values of both T1precipitates size and PFZ width in various loading directions.Compared with those of elastic loadingaged alloys,yield strength of plastic loading-aged alloys shows high strength-ductility because of the combined effect of closely dispersed fine T1precipitates,narrowed PFZ and numerous sheared and rotated T1phases at different locations during tensile process.The uniformly distributed larger Kernel Average Misorientation(KAM)and Schmidt factor values of the plastic loading-aged alloy,as well as the cross-slip generated,also help to enhance the strength and ductility of the alloy.

文摘To weaken the basal texture and in-plane anisotropy of magnesium alloy, non-basal slips are pre-enhanced by pre-rolling with a single pass larger strain reduction at elevated temperatures. Then Mg alloy sheets with the thickness of 1 mm are achieved after five passes rolling at 300 ℃. A double peak and disperse basal texture is generated after pre- rolling at higher temperatures when the non-basal slips are more active. So, the texture intensity of pre-rolled samples is reduced. Moreover, the distribution condition of in-grain misorientation axes (a method to analyze the activation of slips) shows that the pyramidal slip is quite active during deformation. After annealing on final rolled sheets, the texture distributions are changed and the intensity of texture reduces obviously due to static recrystallization. In particular, the r-value and in-plane anisotropy of pre-rolled samples are obviously lower than those of sample without pre-rolling.

文摘The Anninghe–Zemuhe Fault and the Xiaojiang Fault are critical active faults along the middle-eastern boundary of the South Chuan–Dian Block. Many researchers have identified these faults as potential strong-earthquake risk zones. In this study, we leveraged a dense seismic array to investigate the high-resolution shallow crust shear wave velocity(Vs) structure beneath the junction of the Zemuhe Fault Zone and the Xiaojiang Fault Zone, one of the most complex parts of the eastern boundary of the South Chuan–Dian Block. We analyzed the distribution of microseismic events detected between November 2022 and February 2023 based on the fine-scale Vs model obtained. The microseismicity in the study region was clustered into three groups, all spatially related to major faults in this region. These microseismic events indicate near-vertical fault planes, consistent with the fault geometry revealed by other researchers.Moreover, these microseismic events are influenced by the impoundment of the downstream Baihetan Reservoir and the complex tectonic stress near the junction of the Zemuhe Fault Zone and the Xiaojiang Fault Zone. The depths of these microseismic events are shallower in the junction zone, whereas moving south along the Xiaojiang Fault Zone, the microseismic events become deeper.Additionally, we compared our fine-scale local Vs model with velocity models obtained by other researchers and found that our model offers greater detail in characterizing subsurface heterogeneity while demonstrating improved reliability in delineating fault systems.

文摘Wire arc additive manufacturing(WAAM)is one of the most promising approaches to manufacturing large and complex metal components owing to its low cost and high efficiency.However,pores and coarse columnar grains caused by thermal accumulation in WAAM significantly decrease the strength and increase the anisotropy,preventing the achievement of both high strength and isotropy.In this study,the strength and anisotropy of AlMg-Sc-Zr alloys were improved by regulating heat input.The results indicated that as the heat input increased from 60 to 99 J/mm,all the components had lower porosity(lower than 0.04%),the size of the Al_(3)(Sc_(1-x),Zr_(x))phases decreased,and the number density increased.The average grain size gradually decreased,and the grain morphologies transformed from coarse equiaxed grain(CEG)+fine equiaxed grain(FEG)to FEG owing to the increase in Al_(3)(Sc_(1-x),Zr_(x))phases with increasing heat input.After heat treatment at 325℃for 6 h,high-density dispersed Al_(3)Sc phases(<10 nm)precipitated.The alloy possessed the highest strength at 79 J/mm,ultimate tensile strength(UTS)of approximately 423±3 MPa,and in-plane anisotropy of approximately 4.3%.At a heat input of 99 J/mm,the in-plane anisotropy decreased to 1.2%and UTS reached 414±5 MPa.The reduction in the CEG prolonged the crack propagation path,which improved the UTS in the vertical direction and reduced the anisotropy.Theoretical calculations indicated that the main strengthening mechanisms were solid solution and precipitation strengthening.This study lays the theoretical foundations for WAAM-processed high-strength and isotropic Al alloy components.

文摘This work investigated the anisotropy tensile properties of Inconel 625 alloy fabricated by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) under various tests temperature, focusing the anisotropy evolution during the high temperature. The microstructure contained columnar grains with (111) texture in the vertical plane (90° sample), while a large equiaxed grain with (100) texture was produced in the horizontal plane (0° sample). As for 45° sample, a large number of equiaxed grains and a few columnar grains with (111) texture can be observed. The sample produced at a 0° orientation demonstrates the highest tensile strength, whereas the 90° sample exhibits the greatest elongation. Conversely, the 45° sample displays the least favorable overall performance. As the tests temperature increased from room temperature to 600℃, the anisotropy rate of ultimate tensile strength, yield strength and ductility between 0° and 45° samples, decreased from 8.98 to 6.96%, 2.36 to 1.28%, 19.93 to 12.23%, as well as between 0° and 90° samples decreased from 4.87 to 4.03%, 11.88 to 7.21% and 14.11 to 6.89%, respectively, because of the recovery of oriented columnar grains.

文摘As geological exploration conditions become increasingly complex, meeting the requirements of precise geological exploration necessitates the development of a controlled-source audio magnetotelluric (CSAMT) inversion method that considers anisotropy to improve the effectiveness of inversion accuracy and interpretation accuracy of data. This study is based on the 3D fi nite-diff erence forward modeling of axis anisotropy using the reciprocity theorem to calculate the Jacobian matrix by applying the search method to automatically search for the Lagrange operator. The aim is to establish inversion iteration equations to achieve the axis anisotropic Occam's 3D inversion of tensor CSAMT in data space. Further, we obtain an underground axis anisotropic 3D geoelectric model by inverting the impedance data of tensor CSAMT. Two synthetic data examples show that using the isotropic tensor CSAMT algorithm to directly invert data in anisotropic media can generate false anomalies, leading to incorrect geological interpretations. Meanwhile, the proposed anisotropic inversion algorithm can eff ectively improve the accuracy of data inversion in anisotropic media. Further, the inversion examples verify the eff ectiveness and stability of the algorithm.

文摘The Tan-Lu Fault Zone is a large NNE-trending fault zone that has a substantial effect on the development of eastern China and its earthquake disaster prevention efforts. Aiming at the azimuthally anisotropic structure in the upper crust and seismogenic tectonics in the Hefei segment of this fault, we collected phase velocity dispersion data of fundamental mode Rayleigh waves from ambient noise cross-correlation functions of ~400 temporal seismographs in an area of approximately 80 × 70 km along the fault zone. The period band of the dispersion data was ~0.5–10 s. We inverted for the upper crustal three-dimensional(3-D) shear velocity model with azimuthal anisotropy from the surface to 10 km depth by using a 3-D direct azimuthal anisotropy inversion method. The inversion result shows the spatial distribution characteristics of the tectonic units in the upper crust. Additionally, the deformation of the Tan-Lu Fault Zone and its conjugated fault systems could be inferred from the anisotropy model. In particular, the faults that have remained active from the early and middle Pleistocene control the anisotropic characteristics of the upper crustal structure in this area. The direction of fast axes near the fault zone area in the upper crust is consistent with the strike of the faults, whereas for the region far away from the fault zone, the direction of fast axes is consistent with the direction of the regional principal stress caused by plate movement. Combined with the azimuthal anisotropy models in the deep crust and uppermost mantle from the surface wave and Pn wave, the different anisotropic patterns caused by the Tan-Lu Fault Zone and its conjugated fault system nearby are shown in the upper and lower crust. Furthermore,by using the double-difference method, we relocated the Lujiang earthquake series, which contained 32 earthquakes with a depth shallower than 10 km. Both the Vs model and earthquake relocation results indicate that earthquakes mostly occurred in the vicinity of structural boundaries with fractured media, with high-level development of cracks and small-scale faults jammed between more rigid areas.

文摘Three-dimensional printing(3DP)offers valuable insight into the characterization of natural rocks and the verification of theoretical models due to its high reproducibility and accurate replication of complex defects such as cracks and pores.In this study,3DP gypsum samples with different printing directions were subjected to a series of uniaxial compression tests with in situ micro-computed tomography(micro-CT)scanning to quantitatively investigate their mechanical anisotropic properties and damage evolution characteristics.Based on the two-dimensional(2D)CT images obtained at different scanning steps,a novel void ratio variable was derived using the mean value and variance of CT intensity.Additionally,a constitutive model was formulated incorporating the proposed damage variable,utilizing the void ratio variable.The crack evolution and crack morphology of 3DP gypsum samples were obtained and analyzed using the 3D models reconstructed from the CT images.The results indicate that 3DP gypsum samples exhibit mechanical anisotropic characteristics similar to those found in naturally sedimentary rocks.The mechanical anisotropy is attributed to the bedding planes formed between adjacent layers and pillar-like structures along the printing direction formed by CaSO_(4)·2H_(2)O crystals of needle-like morphology.The mean gray intensity of the voids has a positive linear relationship with the threshold value,while the CT variance and void ratio have concave and convex relationships,respectively.The constitutive model can effectively match the stress–strain curves obtained from uniaxial compression experiments.This study provides comprehensive explanations of the failure modes and anisotropic mechanisms of 3DP gypsum samples,which is important for characterizing and understanding the failure mechanism and microstructural evolution of 3DP rocks when modeling natural rock behavior.

文摘This article presents a micro-structure tensor enhanced elasto-plastic finite element(FE)method to address strength anisotropy in three-dimensional(3D)soil slope stability analysis.The gravity increase method(GIM)is employed to analyze the stability of 3D anisotropic soil slopes.The accuracy of the proposed method is first verified against the data in the literature.We then simulate the 3D soil slope with a straight slope surface and the convex and concave slope surfaces with a 90turning corner to study the 3D effect on slope stability and the failure mechanism under anisotropy conditions.Based on our numerical results,the end effect significantly impacts the failure mechanism and safety factor.Anisotropy degree notably affects the safety factor,with higher degrees leading to deeper landslides.For concave slopes,they can be approximated by straight slopes with suitable boundary conditions to assess their stability.Furthermore,a case study of the Saint-Alban test embankment A in Quebec,Canada,is provided to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed FE model.
