文摘Chinaʼs continental shale exhibits favorable geological characteristics and substantial resource potential,yet oil recovery for natural energy extraction remains critically low.Investigating the mechanisms of hydraulically induced bedding fracture to generate complex fracture networks in continental shale,and establishing effective flow systems,is of utmost importance.This study employs laboratory experiments and numerical simulations to investigate the flow capacity and percolation behavior of hydraulically induced bedding fractures by different fluids in full-diameter shale cores.Hydraulic stimulation using different fluids generates bedding plane fracture networks,establishing effective flow systems.Eroded and detached shale fragments support localized fractures,thereby increasing their opening and enhancing flow capacity.Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide(CTAB)solution and SiO2 solution reduce the hydration of the shale surface,preventing shale fragments from swelling and disintegrating,leading to more stable percolation behavior.Eroded and spalled shale fragments near the injection point are transported to farther locations,where they help support localized fractures.This process differs from conventional hydraulic fracturing.Under a constant injection rate,the velocity in the smaller flow paths near the closure is significantly higher than that in the main flow paths,leading to pronounced bypass flow behavior.This restricts the percolation of fluid during imbibition in shale cores.The results provide valuable insights into the mechanism of hydraulically induced bedding fracture in continental shale,offering guidance for the effective development of shale reservoirs.

文摘Mechanism of discontinuous precipitation(DP) in AZ80 alloy was investigated by phase-orientation correlated characterization.The results show DPs nucleate by turning the original grain boundaries(GBs) as reaction front(RF),and further driving the RF to realize their growth.The DPs regions retained the same orientations as their parent grains.The misorientation angle and rotation axis of RFs had strong influence on DPs nucleation.The low-angle GBs,twin boundaries(TBs) and the GBs with specific misorientation axis which are known as low energy and low mobility GBs can hardly initiate DPs.In addition,the TBs had a strong ability to inhibit the growth of DPs,but it should be noticed that the growth of DPs cannot be totally inhibited by TBs.DPs can engulf the twins when the growth direction is approximately parallel to the long axis of TBs.The inhibition behavior is related to the distribution of Al solute atoms near the RF,boundary interactions of the TBs and twin tips with the RF,and the morphology of the continuous precipitations within the twins.

文摘After excavation,some of the surrounding rock mass is in a state of triaxial extension,exhibiting tensile or shear fracture modes.To study the energy mechanism of tensile fracture turning to shear fracture,a series of triaxial extension tests were conducted on sandstone under confining pressures of 10,30,50 and 70 MPa.Elastic energy and dissipated energy were separated by single unloading,the input energy u_(t),elastic energy u_(e),and dissipated energy u_(d)at different unloading stress levels were calculated by the integrating stress−strain curves.The results show that tensile cracks dominate fracture under lower confining pressure(10 MPa),and shear cracks play an increasingly important role in fracture as confining pressure increases(30,50 and 70 MPa).Based on the phenomenon that u_(e)and u_(d)increase linearly with increasing u_(t),a possible energy distribution mechanism of fracture mode transition under triaxial extension was proposed.In addition,it was found that peak energy storage capacity is more sensitive to confining pressure compared to elastic energy conversion capacity.

文摘The fatigue characteristics of rock materials significantly impact the economy and safety of underground structures during construction.Hence,it is essential to conduct further investigation into the progressive damage processes of rocks under cyclic loading conditions.This research utilised both laboratory experiments and discrete element simulations to investigate how confining pressure and fatigue upper limit stress influence the mechanical behaviour and crack development of marble under low-cycle fatigue conditions.By introducing synthetic displacement and reasonable assumptions,the classical damage evolution law was updated,resulting in a fatigue life prediction formula applicable to various rock materials and loading conditions.The results indicate that lower fatigue upper limit stress can delay the accumulation of damage and extend the fatigue life of the rock,but it results in more severe ultimate failure.The damage variable’s correlation with the relative number of loading cycles for different fatigue load upper limits under the same confining pressure can be approximated by the same functional relationship.The modified damage evolution model provides an effective characterisation of this trend.The proposed fatigue life prediction method comprehensively accounts for different rock materials,confining pressures,loading frequencies,and initial damage,showing a close match with actual results.

文摘Persistent Luminescence(PersL)materials,which use traps to store energy and emit photons over a long period,have found important applications in the fields of optical information storage,security labeling,and biological imaging.The trap depth is a crucial factor determining the performance of these materials;however,achieving the desired trap depth with high precision remains a great challenge.Here,we provide double perovskite phosphors(Cs_(2)SnCl_(6)-Cs_(2)ZrCl_(6)-Cs_(2)HfCl_(6)series)with highly compatible crystal structures,enabling continuous and precise tuning of trap depth over an ultra-wide range of 0.11-1.25 eV.By incorporating W4+as the luminescent centers,these phosphors exhibit outstanding near-infrared(NIR)PersL performance at approximately 900 nm and a lasting emission duration exceeding 10 h.The underlying mechanism of PersL is elucidated,and the wide-range tunability of trap depth is attributed to the universal applicability of band-gap engineering in the entire material system.Furthermore,we demonstrate the practical application of these materials by designing a flexible detector plate for X-ray imaging.The detector plate exhibits a storage time of more than 1 week,a detection limit of 0.83μGyair·s^(-1)in the near-infrared region,and real-time and delay-time imaging resolutions of 14.2 lp·mm^(-1)and 2.5 lp·mm^(-1),respectively.These attributes demonstrate strong potential for X-ray luminescence extension imaging.

文摘The Longshan orogenic belt is located in the southwestern margin of Ordos Basin at the junction zone between the Western Qinling and Northern Qilian orogenic belt.Voluminous Early Paleozoic magmatism in this area is of key significance for determining the Early Paleozoic tectonic evolution and deep crust-mantle structure.Previous studies mainly focused on the Paleozoic granites;the coeval mafic rocks in this area are still poorly understood.A set of Late Silurian intraplate tholeiitic basalts has been discovered in Longshan area,providing key evidence for the mantle source and deep geodynamic background in this area.The Late Silurian Angou basalt has similar geochemical features as intraplate tholeiitic basalt,with high Na_(2)O/K_(2)O ratios(5.22-8.25),enriched in large ion lithophile elements and LREE.In combination with their relatively evolved Sr-Nd isotopic composition[^(87)Sr/^(86)Sr(i)=0.7128-0.7140;ε_(Nd)(t)=-5.55 to-3.40],it is suggested that it originated from decompression melting of metasomatized enriched mantle in extensional setting.These results indicate that the mantle source in the junction zone of the West Qinling-North Qilian orogenic belt evolved from depleted to enriched with the continuation of Proto-Tethys subduction from the Cambrian to the Silurian.These results are of great significance to understanding the genesis of contemporaneous granite and the crust-mantle interaction in the junction zone between the Western Qinling and Northern Qilian orogenic belt.

文摘Optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy is a novel imaging technique that combines the advantages of optical and ultrasound imaging,enabling high-resolution visualization of biological tissues at the micrometer scale.However,the divergence of the excited Gaussian beam limits the depth-of-field of the system to less than 100μm,which hinders accurate three-dimensional imaging of living tissues and restrictsits applicability in biological research.Therefore,there is an urgent need for an effective method to enhance the depth-of-field without altering the hardware configuration.This paper presents a photoacoustic microscopy depth-of-field extension method and system based on three-dimensional continuity and sparsity deconvolution.This method utilizes a depth-varying point spread function and incorporates continuity and sparsity con-straints into the deconvolution process to mitigate the effect of background noise,enhancing the stability and accuracy of the depth-of-field extension.Experimental results using tungsten wire phantoms suggest that the depth-of-field of system can be extended to 650 pm,which is 7.2 times greater than conventional system,while improving the resolution of the defocused region by an average factor of 3.5.Furthermore,experiments on zebrafish and nude mouse ears with irregular topologies demonstrate that the proposed method successfully overcomes image blurring and the loss of structural information due to limited depth-of-field.All the results suggest that the system with higher lateral resolution and enhanced depth-of-field has significant potential for a wide range of practical biomedical applications.
