文摘Strong seismic excitation and fault dislocation are likely to occur simultaneously in high-intensity seismic zones,causing severe damage to tunnels crossing active fault zones.This paper aims to develop a novel analytical solution to determine the longitudinal mechanical responses of tunnels subjected to the combined effects of seismic waves and strike-slip faulting.Adopting the elastic springbeam model,the seismic waves are modelled as shear horizontal(SH)waves and the fault dislocation follows an S-shaped pattern;the superposition principle for free-fielddisplacements caused by both effects is assumed.In addition,the transmission and reflectionof seismic waves at the fault-rock geological interface and the tangential contact conditions at the tunnel-rock interface are considered.The analytical model is validated against numerical simulations,confirmingits accuracy in calculating tunnel responses.Moreover,a parametric study is conducted to evaluate the impact of key factors,including fault displacement,fault zone width,fault dip angle,earthquake frequency,rock conditions,tunnel lining stiffness,and tangential contact conditions,on tunnel responses.Compared with each effect alone,the combined effects of seismic waves and strike-slip faulting significantlychange the tunnel deformation and internal forces,leading to increased tunnel responses,especially within the fault zone and near the fault-rock interfaces.Depending on specificparameters,tunnel responses can be classifiedinto seismic-dominated,faulting-dominated,and seismic-faulting coupled responses on the basis of the relative contributions of each effect.The proposed analytical solution can be applied to quickly predict the longitudinal mechanical behaviour of tunnels under such combined effects in engineering applications.

文摘The trade-offbetween strength and ductility remains a persistent obstacle in the development of advanced structural materials.In the present study,a novel dual-heterogeneous structure with a bimodal grain distribution in both ferrite and austenite phases was fabricated via cold rolling and partial recrystallization annealing on solution-treated 2205 duplex stainless steel(DSS).The processed steel exhibited superior mechanical properties,with the yield strength increasing from 586 MPa to 903 MPa,and the ultimate tensile strength from 796 MPa to 1082 MPa,while maintaining a high total elongation of 35.3%.Based on in-situ electron backscatter diffraction(EBSD)and scanning electron microscope(SEM)analyses,the microstructural deformation behavior and strengthening mechanisms of the dual-heterostructured 2205 DSS were elucidated.The outstanding combination of strength and ductility was ascribed to the synergistic effects of grain refinement,dislocation strengthening,and hetero-deformation induced(HDI)strengthening.Moreover,the high ductility in DSS was attributed to the coactivation of cross-slip systems in ferrite{110}and{112}along with the single-slip systems in austenite{111}.These findings provide a new strategy for the design and development of high-strength and ultra-high-strength DSSs.

文摘Traditional metals often exhibit a trade-offbetween strength and plasticity,limiting their wide application of metals in aerospace,transportation,energy industry and other fields[1-3].In order to overcome this dilemma,high-entropy alloys(HEAs),proposed by Yeh et al.and Cantor et al.,are currently of great interest in the materials community due to their excellent mechanical properties[4-7].To further promote the wide application of HEAs in industrial production,Lu et al.developed a new eutectic high-entropy alloy(EHEAs)by combining the potential advantages of traditional eutectic alloys and HEAs[8-11].

文摘In the ultra-deep strata of the Tarim Basin,the vertical growth process of strike-slip faults remains unclear,and the vertical distribution of fractured-cavity carbonate reservoirs is complex.This paper investigates the vertical growth process of strike-slip faults through field outcrop observations in the Keping area,interpretation of seismic data from the Fuman Oilfield,Tarim Basim,NW China,and structural physical simulation experiments.The results are obtained mainly in four aspects.First,field outcrops and ultra-deep seismic profiles indicate a three-layer structure within the strike-slip fault,consisting of fault core,fracture zone and primary rock.The fault core can be classified into three parts vertically:fracture-cavity unit,fault clay and breccia zone.The distribution of fracture-cavity units demonstrates a distinct pattern of vertical stratification,owing to the structural characteristics and growth process of the slip-strike fault.Second,the ultra-deep seismic profiles show multiple fracture-cavity units in the strike-slip fault zone.These units can be classified into four types:top fractured,middle connected,deep terminated,and intra-layer fractured.Third,structural physical simulation experiments and ultra-deep seismic data interpretation reveal that the strike-slip faults have evolved vertically in three stages:segmental rupture,vertical growth,and connection and extension.The particle image velocimetry detection demonstrates that the initial fracture of the fault zone occurred at the top or bottom and then evolved into cavities gradually along with the fault growth,accompanied by the emergence of new fractures in the middle part of the strata,which subsequently connected with the deep and shallow cavities to form a complete fault zone.Fourth,the ultra-deep carbonate strata primarily develop three types of fractured-cavity reservoirs:flower-shaped fracture,large and deep fault and staggered overlap.The first two types are larger in size with better reservoir conditions,suggesting a significant exploration potential.
文摘Super duplex stainless steels(SDSSs)and hyper duplex stainless steels(HDSSs),with more alloying elements content,are more corrosion resistant than the standard grades.Progresses of research works on weldability of SDSSs and HDSSs in recent years are reviewed in this paper.If proper heat input is provided,SDSSs and HDSSs can be welded with most fusion welding processes,while tungsten inert gas welding is the most popular process.SDSSs and HDSSs are more prone to secondary phases precipitation than the standard and lean grades,and heat input for SDSSs and HDSSs welding is restricted to a smaller range.Matching filler materials are usually recommended for SDSSs and HDSSs welding,rather than Ni-riched ones for standard and lean grades.Nitrogen addition in shielding gas is always beneficial.Post weld heat treatment with slow cooling rate will be harmful.Hot cracking tendency of SDSSs and HDSSs joints is not high,but sometimes they can suffer from hydrogen induced stress cracking.

文摘Natural fractures controlled by faults in ultradeep carbonate strata play substantial roles as both fluid migration channels and storage spaces.However,characterizing the heterogeneous distribution of underground fractures within the complex three-dimensional geometry of strike-slip fault zones remains challenging.This study investigates the characteristics of natural fractures controlled by strike-slip faults in the fractured Middle and Lower Ordovician reservoirs of the central and northern Tarim Basin,China.Seismics,cores,and image logs were integrated to quantitatively analyze the intensity and dip angle of natural fractures and findings were verified using published sandbox simulations.The carbonate reservoir contains three main types of natural fractures:tectonic fractures,abnormal high-pressure-related fractures,and stylolites.Strike-slip faults control the distribution and characteristics of tectonic fractures across various scales.Generally,both fracture intensity and porosity exhibit a decreasing trend as the distance from the main fault surface increases.Compared with those in non-stepover zones along a strike-slip fault,natural fractures and faults in stepover zones are more developed along the fault strike,with significantly greater development intensity in central stepover regions than that at its two ends.Furthermore,strike-slip faults influence the dip angles of both natural fractures and secondary faults.The proportion of medium-to-low-dip angle fractures and faults in the stepover zone is greater than that in the non-stepover zone.Additionally,the proportion of medium-to low-dip angle fractures and faults in the middle of the stepover is greater than that at both ends.Therefore,strike-slip fault structures control the dip angle of natural fracture and the heterogeneity of secondary fault and fracture intensity.The linking damage zone in the stepover contains a larger volume of fractured rocks,making it a promising petroleum exploration target.The development of stepovers and the orientation of present-day in-situ stress substantially influence the productivity of fractured reservoirs controlled by strike-slip faults.The analysis in this study reveals that reservoir productivity increases as the angle between the strike-slip fault segment and the maximum horizontal principal stress decreases.This study provides valuable insights for quantitatively evaluating fracture heterogeneity in fractured reservoirs and establishing optimized selection criteria for favorable targets in fault-related fractured reservoirs.

文摘The precipitation behavior,corrosion,and passivation performance of solutionized and severely sensitized SAF 2507 super-duplex stainless steel subjected to a temperature of 900℃for 10 h are investigated in a twofold concentrated seawater at 60℃.The sensitized alloy exhibits 66.1%γphases and 33.9%σphases,and the originalαphases have completely decomposed through eutectoid transformation,resulting in a microstructure characterized by coarse blockyσ/γ2 aggregates.High defect densities and an increased amount of oxyhydroxides and hydroxides are present in the passive film on the sensitized alloy,thereby enhancing n-type semiconducting character.The inferior performance of the passive film on the sensitized alloy is ascribed to the increased potential drop across the film/solution interface,the high defect densities,and the pronounced n-type character of the passive film resulting from the variations in its constituents.The precipitation ofσphase during sensitization significantly increases intergranular corrosion susceptibility and decreases critical pitting temperature,breakdown potential,and polarization resistance in hot concentrated seawater.

文摘Recent exploration has highlighted the critical role of strike-slip faults in shaping ultra-deep carbonate reservoirs in the Tarim Basin.This study integrates satellite imagery,UAV photogrammetry,outcrop surveys and microscopic analysis to investigate the architecture of these faults and their impact on reservoir petrophysical properties.The strike-slip faults exhibit cores consisting of calcite bands,fault breccias and fractures,while the damage zones are predominantly fractured.Thicker fault cores and fault zones are associated with more extensive reservoir development.Individual strike-slip fault zones are primarily characterized by two sets of fractures intersecting the fault at small angles.When two fault systems interact,the dominant pattern is two sets of fractures intersecting the main fault at small angles and one set at larger angles,facilitating the formation of large-scale reservoirs.We propose a model for the fault core,which primarily consists of a calcite band and fault breccias.These breccias are composed of original host rock,calcite cement and quartz,which exhibit poor physical properties,while fractures and vugs show favorable reservoir characteristics.This model offers valuable insights into the development of fault-controlled reservoirs,particularly in the Tarim Basin.

文摘Fault container and shaking table tests are crucial for studying co-seismic dislocation in cross-fault tunnels,with the design and functionality of the container significantly affecting the accuracy of dynamic response analyses of tunnel linings.This research introduces a fault container developed as part of a significant active fault-crossing tunnel project in the high-intensity seismic zone of western China.The container is designed to simulate both strike-slip and dip-slip fault characteristics with adjustable fault angles.Extensive testing,including shaking table tests under strong seismic conditions,three-dimensional(3D)finite element numerical simulations,and hammer tests,were conducted to evaluate the modal characteristics of the container under various conditions.The study highlights the resonance characteristics of the soil-container system,the signal consistency across different dislocations,and the dynamic response patterns both with and without pulse-like seismic motions and varying intensities.The results indicate that the natural frequencies of the container and the model soil,determined through white noise scanning,are 23.74 Hz and 6.355 Hz,respectively,suggesting no resonance in the model soil-container structure.The dynamic response characteristics of the empty container show good integrity and versatility under various seismic excitations.The consistency of the free-field time history curve confirms that the newly developed fault container effectively simulates the continuity and boundary conditions of the free-field.Time domain analysis conducted before and after fault dislocation demonstrates the capability of the container to accurately replicate the coupling effects of fault and seismic motions.

文摘Over the past few years,the Cu element has attracted much attention in duplex stainless steels.It undoubtedly holds advantageous in regulating the two-phase proportion and austenite stability and is also one of the crucial factors affecting the corrosion resistance.However,the systematic research on the impact of Cu addition to lean duplex stainless steels remains insufficient.In this study,a novel Cu-alloyed Mn-N-type 20Cr lean duplex stainless steel was developed and the effect of Cu on the strain hardening capacity and corrosion resistance was analyzed.The results show that the Cu addition increases the volume fraction and stability of the austenite,retards the martensitic transformation,and extends the transformation-induced plasticity effect to a wider strain range.Compared to the Cu-free steel,the plasticity of Cu-containing steel can be increased by~26%.Additionally,the addition of Cu redistributes the Cr and N elements in the ferrite and austenite phases,thereby improving the corrosion resistance of the lean duplex stainless steel.
文摘Passive-roof duplexes accommodate shortening at the mountain front of many fold-and-thrust belts worldwide.These structures typically manifest at the surface by hinterland-verging backthrusts that decouple thin-skinned thrust sheets from underlying foreland-verging duplexes.Although the main fac-tors controlling the development of passive-roof duplexes have mostly been identified,some of their intrinsic characteristics are still poorly defined.These relate to their spatio-temporal relationships to thrust faults located further inland in orogens,and their ability to transport younger rocks over older ones.This study explores these issues in the Casentino-Romagna axial sector of the Northern Apennines,which expose regional forethrusts and backthrusts.Detailed field mapping and analysis of superposed tectonic structures were integrated with apatite fission-track dating for constraining the tim-ing of rock exhumation and correlated tectonic events.Collectively,the results have allowed us to inter-pret the evolution of the study area in terms of two main deformation stages.Specifically,a first,long phase(D_(1))progressed from NE-directed,in-sequence thrusting(∼18 to∼10-9 Ma)to late out-of-sequence thrusting(∼8-5 Ma).A successive deformation phase,that we refer to as D_(2)(∼4-2 Ma),con-sisted of backthrusts and associated folds that were ubiquitous and systematically overprinted onto the foreland-verging D_(1)structures.Such retrovergent structures identify a late deformation phase dom-inated by the development of passive-roof duplexes that propagated hinterlandward into the orogen up to beyond the primary watershed ridge.Orogen-scale processes controlled the evolution of forelandward D_(1)-phase thrusts,although late erosion could have played a major role by bringing the Apennine thrust wedge toward an undercritical state.The latter conditions could have contributed to keeping the out-of-sequence thrusts active,and eventually promoted the development of the D_(2)passive-roof duplexes.

文摘The hot deformation behavior of 2707 hyper duplex stainless steel(HDSS)was investigated through a hot compression test at 950℃ to 1,250℃ at strain rates of 0.01 s^(-1) to 10 s^(-1).Observations from the flow stress curves reveal a balance between work hardening and dynamic recovery at the beginning of the deformation and subsequently demonstrate various softening mechanisms with the increase of strain.At high strain rates,dynamic recovery is the prevailing mechanism,whereas,at medium and low strain rates,dynamic recrystallization becomes dominant.The constitutive equation was constructed,and the deformation activation energy was calculated to be 645.46 kJ·mol^(-1).The hot processing map was drawn based on the dynamic material model at a strain of 0.8.The results indicate that the hot workability of 2707 HDSS decreases due to its high alloying content.The microstructure evolution of 2707 HDSS at 1,050℃ was identified by means of electron backscatter diffraction and transmission electron microscopy.The results demonstrate that the ferrite completes dynamic recrystallization at the strain rate of 1 s^(-1).The softening process of austenite is influenced by ferrite and mainly experiences dynamic recovery.The austenite located at the α/γ phase boundaries tends to undergo dynamic recrystallization.

文摘Focusing on the geochronological issues related to the matching relationship between the strike-slip fault activity and the stages of hydrocarbon generation,reservoir formation,and hydrocarbon accumulation,this study aims to quantitatively constrain the tectonic-burial history,hydrocarbon generation history,reservoir porosity evolution history,and hydrocarbon accumulation history by determining the isotopic ages and temperatures of multiphase calcites(particularly the calcites which contain hydrocarbon-bearing fluid inclusions)and quartzs filling the fractures in the Ordovician strata within the non-foreland area of Tarim Basin.Three major findings have been obtained.(1)According to the tectonic-burial history restored under the constraint of the isotopic ages and temperatures,the non-foreland area of the Tarim Basin experienced a continuous burial process during the Cambrian-Ordovician period,with only a minor uplift at the end of the Silurian.Overall,the area was characterized by continuous hydrocarbon generation and a gradual increase in vitrinite reflectance(Ro).(2)While mechanical compaction and pressure-solution during burial progressively reduced the matrix porosity,the strike-slip fault activity during the Middle Caledonian Ⅱ and Ⅲ episodes induced physical fragmentation,which created extensive interbreccia pores,fault cavities,and structural fractures as seepage pathways for surface runoff,and,in conjunction with interlayer karstification,led to the development of widespread dissolution vugs.The formation of fracture-vug system in the Ordovician limestone provided effective storage space for hydrocarbons generated during the Late Caledonian and subsequent periods.(3)The Ordovician fault-karst limestone reservoirs underwent four stages of hydrocarbon accumulation:low-medium maturity liquid hydrocarbons during the Middle-Late Caledonian,medium-high maturity liquid hydrocarbons during the Middle-Late Hercynian,high maturity liquid hydrocarbons during the Indosinian,and high-over maturity gas during the Middle Yanshanian.Variations in hydrocarbon accumulation among different strike-slip faults or different segments of the same fault are controlled by differences in source rock maturity across structural units,as well as by the timing of fault activity and fault-related connectivity to hydrocarbon sources.This research also establishes a geochronological framework for investigating strike-slip faultcontrolled reservoir formation and hydrocarbon accumulation,facilitating a more accurate determination of the reservoir formation and hydrocarbon accumulation stages,and providing critical insights for evaluating hydrocarbon enrichment zones in fault-controlled reservoirs.

文摘An alternating magnetic field(AMF)was introduced into the narrow gap laser-arc hybrid welding process for 2205 duplex stainless steel thick plates.The corrosion performance of the welded joints was evaluated through electrochemical studies.The results revealed that joints welded with the application of AMF had a lower corrosion current density compared to those welded without an external AMF.Additionally,these joints showed higher pitting potential and polarization resistance.Microscopic electrochemical analysis indicated that joints subjected to AMF exhibited minimal cathodic current in simulated seawater,with only slight fluctuations in the anodic current peak.Overall,the corrosion levels on the joint surfaces were relatively low.After 4 h of immersion in the corrosive medium,the average impedance of joints exposed to AMF increased by 60.7%compared to those not influenced by a magnetic field.These findings suggest that applying AMF during the narrow gap laser-arc hybrid welding process can significantly improve the corrosion resistance of duplex stainless steel welded joints,reducing their susceptibility to stress corrosion in seawater-like environments.

文摘Based on the data of reservoir rock cores and 3D seismic inversion for reservoir,a comprehensive analysis was conducted using in-situ U-Pb dating of calcite cements,fluid inclusions,and geochemical data of fractured-vuggy reservoirs to investigate the key controls on the formation of reservoirs along the ultra-deep strike-slip fault zone in the depression,northern Tarim Basin,and establish the reservoir development model.The Middle Ordovician Yijianfang Formation contains tight matrix reservoirs and strike-slip faults with small displacement but relatively wide damage zone,forming a series of fault-fracture and fault-karst reservoirs which are distributed contiguously along the fault zone.Strike-slip faulting occurred during the deposition of the Yijianfang Formation,giving rise to penecontemporaneous atmospheric freshwater dissolved pores/vugs.The U-Pb ages of 440-468 Ma obtained from calcite cements in the fractures/vugs indicate that the reservoirs along the strike-slip fault zone were formed in Middle to Late Ordovician.Data of reservoir fluid inclusions,trace elements,and C/O/Sr isotopic compositions suggest that the fracture/vug cementation and filling took place in a penecontemporaneous to shallow burial stages dominated by atmospheric freshwater.On the basis of intra-platform high-energy shoal deposits,strike-slip faulting coupled with dissolution is identified as the primary control on reservoir formation and spatial distribution,and a penecontemporaneous-shallow burial strike-slip fault-controlled reservoir development model is thus proposed.Comprehensive analysis indicates that large-scale fault-fracture and fault-karst reservoirs can develop along ultra-deep strike-slip fault zone in intracratonic depression,with their scales and distribution scope controlled by the coupling of facies,faulting,and dissolution processes in the penecontemporaneous-shallow burial stages.

文摘During strike-slip fault dislocation,multiple fault planes are commonly observed.The resulting permanent ground deformation can lead to profound structural damage to tunnels.However,existing analytical models do not consider multiple fault planes.Instead,they concentrate the entire fault displacement onto a single fault plane for analysis,thereby giving rise to notable errors in the calculated results.To address this issue,a refined nonlinear theoretical model was established to analyze the mechanical responses of the tunnels subjected to multiple strike-slip fault dislocations.The analytical model considers the number of fault planes,nonlinear soil‒tunnel interactions,geometric nonlinearity,and fault zone width,leading to a significant improvement in its range of applicability and calculation accuracy.The results of the analytical model are in agreement,both qualitatively and quantitatively,with the model test and numerical results.Then,based on the proposed theoretical model,a sensitivity analysis of parameters was conducted,focusing on the variables such as the number of fault planes,fault plane distance(d),fault displacement ratio(η),burial depth(C),crossing angle(β),tunnel diameter(D),fault zone width(Wf),and strike-slip fault displacement(Δfs).The results show that the peak shear force(Vmax),bending moment(Mmax),and axial force(Nmax)decrease with increasing d.The Vmax of the tunnel is found at the fault plane with the largest fault displacement.C,D,andΔfs contribute to the increases in Vmax,Mmax,and Nmax.Additionally,increasing the number of fault planes reduces Vmax and Mmax,whereas the variation in Nmax remains minimal.

文摘The strike-slip fault system in the central Tarim Craton controls a complex petroleum system with estimated reserves exceeding 1×10^(9)t,the fault-related fractures are important for hydrocarbon accumulation.In this paper,the basic parameters such as density and width of fractures are counted and classified,and the effects of fractures on reservoirs are analyzed.The results show that:(1)Structural fractures and stylolite were widely developed in Halahatang area and experienced at least three stages of activity based on the infilling materials and crosscutting relationship.(2)Fracture density,width,aperture,and dip angle vary in different wells,but the relationship between the above parameters and the distance to the fault core indicates the fracture differences in the fault damage zone and further provides a method to divide the inner units in the fault damage zone.In addition,oil and gas wells with high production mainly concentrate in the inner unit.(3)The infilling materials and degree of fractures vary.Fractures formed in the early stage are more filled and less open,while the fractures formed in the late stage are relatively less filled and more open.(4)Fractures improve porosity to a certain extent but greatly increase permeability,especially in the inner zone of fault damage zone with large quantity,multiple inclinations,less filling and large width.These features contribute to the formation of a higher-quality reservoir,further improving oil and gas production.This paper provides a quantitative characterization method for the study of strike-slip fault-related fracture-caved reservoirs,and points out that fault damage zone,especially the inner zone of the fault damage zone,is the potential goal for oil and gas exploration.
