Present work is a part of comprehensive project of Institute of Geology, China Earthquake Administration, trying to understand deformation processes in Longmenshan fault zones and eventually to reproduce Wenchuan earthquake by modeling based on measured mechanical and transport properties. Outcrop studies could be integrated with those performed on samples recovered from fault zone drilling, during the Wenchuan Earthquake Fault Scientific Drilling （WFSD） Project, to understand along-fault and depth variation of fault zone properties. The hanging wall side of the fault zone consists of weakly-foliated, clayey fault gouge of about 1 m in width and of several fault breccia zones of 30-40 m in total width. We could not find any pseudotachylite at this outcrop. Displacement during the Wenchuan earthquake is highly localized within the fault gouge layer along narrower slipping-zones of about 10 to 20 mm in width. This is an important constraint for analyzing thermal pressurization, an important dynamic weakening mechanism of faults. Overlapping patterns of striations on slickenside surface suggest that seismic slip at a given time occurred in even narrower zone of a few to several millimeters, so that localization of deformation must have occurred within a slipping zone during coseismic fault motion. Fault breccia zones are bounded by thin black gouge layers containing amorphous carbon. Fault gouge contains illite and chlorite minerals, but not smectite. Clayey fault gouge next to coseismic slipping zone also contains amorphous carbon and small amounts of graphite. The structural observations and mineralogical data obtained from outcrop exposures of the fault zone of the Wenchuan earthquake can be compared with those obtained from the WFSD-1 and WFSD-2 boreholes, which have been drilled very close to the Hongkou outcrop. The presence of carbon and graphite, observed next to the slipping-zone, may affect the mechanical properties of the fault and also provide useful information about coseismic chemical changes.展开更多

The hanging wall side of the fault zone consists of weakly-foliated, clayey fault gouge of about 1 m in width and of several fault breccia zones of 30-40 m in total width. We could not find any pseudotachylite at this outcrop. Displacement during the Wenchuan earthquake is highly localized within the fault gouge layer along narrower slipping-zones of about 10 to 20 mm in width. This is an important constraint for analyzing thermal pressurization, an important dynamic weakening mechanism of faults. Overlapping patterns of striations on slickenside surface suggest that seismic slip at a given time occurred in even narrower zone of a few to several millimeters, so that localization of deformation must have occurred within a slipping zone during coseismic fault motion. Fault breccia zones are bounded by thin black gouge layers containing amorphous carbon. Fault gouge contains illite and chlorite minerals, but not smectite. Clayey fault gouge next to coseismic slipping zone also contains amorphous carbon and small amounts of graphite. The structural observations and mineralogical data obtained from outcrop exposures of the fault zone of the Wenchuan earthquake can be compared with those obtained from the WFSD-1 and WFSD-2 boreholes, which have been drilled very close to the Hongkou outcrop. The presence of carbon and graphite, observed next to the slipping-zone, may affect the mechanical properties of the fault and also provide useful information about coseismic chemical changes.

文摘This work proposes the application of an iterative learning model predictive control(ILMPC)approach based on an adaptive fault observer(FOBILMPC)for fault-tolerant control and trajectory tracking in air-breathing hypersonic vehicles.In order to increase the control amount,this online control legislation makes use of model predictive control(MPC)that is based on the concept of iterative learning control(ILC).By using offline data to decrease the linearized model’s faults,the strategy may effectively increase the robustness of the control system and guarantee that disturbances can be suppressed.An adaptive fault observer is created based on the suggested ILMPC approach in order to enhance overall fault tolerance by estimating and compensating for actuator disturbance and fault degree.During the derivation process,a linearized model of longitudinal dynamics is established.The suggested ILMPC approach is likely to be used in the design of hypersonic vehicle control systems since numerical simulations have demonstrated that it can decrease tracking error and speed up convergence when compared to the offline controller.

文摘The isolated fracture-vug systems controlled by small-scale strike-slip faults within ultra-deep carbonate rocks of the Tarim Basin exhibit significant exploration potential.The study employs a novel training set incorporating innovative fault labels to train a U-Net-structured CNN model,enabling effective identification of small-scale strike-slip faults through seismic data interpretation.Based on the CNN faults,we analyze the distribution patterns of small-scale strike-slip faults.The small-scale strike-slip faults can be categorized into NNW-trending and NE-trending groups with strike lengths ranging 200–5000 m.The development intensity of small-scale strike-slip faults in the Lower Yingshan Member notably exceeds that in the Upper Member.The Lower and Upper Yingshan members are two distinct mechanical layers with contrasting brittleness characteristics,separated by a low-brittleness layer.The superior brittleness of the Lower Yingshan Member enhances the development intensity of small-scale strike-slip faults compared to the upper member,while the low-brittleness layer exerts restrictive effects on vertical fault propagation.Fracture-vug systems formed by interactions of two or more small-scale strike-slip faults demonstrate larger sizes than those controlled by individual faults.All fracture-vug system sizes show positive correlations with the vertical extents of associated small-scale strike-slip faults,particularly intersection and approaching fracture-vug systems exhibit accelerated size increases proportional to the vertical extents.

文摘The Longmenshan(LMS)fault zone is located at the junction of the eastern Tibetan Plateau and the Sichuan Basin and is of great significance for studying regional tectonics and earthquake hazards.Although regional velocity models are available for the LMS fault zone,high-resolution velocity models are lacking.Therefore,a dense array of 240 short-period seismometers was deployed around the central segment of the LMS fault zone for approximately 30 days to monitor earthquakes and characterize fine structures of the fault zone.Considering the large quantity of observed seismic data,the data processing workflow consisted of deep learning-based automatic earthquake detection,phase arrival picking,and association.Compared with the earthquake catalog released by the China Earthquake Administration,many more earthquakes were detected by the dense array.Double-difference seismic tomography was adopted to determine V_(p),V_(s),and V_(p)/V_(s)models as well as earthquake locations.The checkerboard test showed that the velocity models have spatial resolutions of approximately 5 km in the horizontal directions and 2 km at depth.To the west of the Yingxiu–Beichuan Fault(YBF),the Precambrian Pengguan complex,where most of earthquakes occurred,is characterized by high velocity and low V_(p)/V_(s)values.In comparison,to the east of the YBF,the Upper Paleozoic to Jurassic sediments,where few earthquakes occurred,show low velocity and high V_(p)/V_(s)values.Our results suggest that the earthquake activity in the LMS fault zone is controlled by the strength of the rock compositions.When the high-resolution velocity models were combined with the relocated earthquakes,we were also able to delineate the fault geometry for different faults in the LMS fault zone.

文摘The three-dimensional(3D)geometry of a fault is a critical control on earthquake nucleation,dynamic rupture,stress triggering,and related seismic hazards.Therefore,a 3D model of an active fault can significantly improve our understanding of seismogenesis and our ability to evaluate seismic hazards.Utilising the SKUA GoCAD software,we constructed detailed seismic fault models for the 2021 M_(S)6.4 Yangbi earthquake in Yunnan,China,using two sets of relocated earthquake catalogs and focal mechanism solutions following a convenient 3D fault modeling workflow.Our analysis revealed a NW-striking main fault with a high-angle SW dip,accompanied by two branch faults.Interpretation of one dataset revealed a single NNW-striking branch fault SW of the main fault,whereas the other dataset indicated four steep NNE-striking segments with a left-echelon pattern.Additionally,a third ENE-striking short fault was identified NE of the main fault.In combination with the spatial distribution of pre-existing faults,our 3D fault models indicate that the Yangbi earthquake reactivated pre-existing NW-and NE-striking fault directions rather than the surface-exposed Weixi-Qiaohou-Weishan Fault zone.The occurrence of the Yangbi earthquake demonstrates that the reactivation of pre-existing faults away from active fault zones,through either cascade or conjugate rupture modes,can cause unexpected moderate-large earthquakes and severe disasters,necessitating attention in regions like southeast Xizang,which have complex fault systems.

文摘To accurately diagnosemisfire faults in automotive engines,we propose a Channel Attention Convolutional Model,specifically the Squeeze-and-Excitation Networks(SENET),for classifying engine vibration signals and precisely pinpointing misfire faults.In the experiment,we established a total of 11 distinct states,encompassing the engine’s normal state,single-cylinder misfire faults,and dual-cylinder misfire faults for different cylinders.Data collection was facilitated by a highly sensitive acceleration signal collector with a high sampling rate of 20,840Hz.The collected data were methodically divided into training and testing sets based on different experimental groups to ensure generalization and prevent overlap between the two sets.The results revealed that,with a vibration acceleration sequence of 1000 time steps(approximately 50 ms)as input,the SENET model achieved a misfire fault detection accuracy of 99.8%.For comparison,we also trained and tested several commonly used models,including Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM),Transformer,and Multi-Scale Residual Networks(MSRESNET),yielding accuracy rates of 84%,79%,and 95%,respectively.This underscores the superior accuracy of the SENET model in detecting engine misfire faults compared to other models.Furthermore,the F1 scores for each type of recognition in the SENET model surpassed 0.98,outperforming the baseline models.Our analysis indicated that the misclassified samples in the LSTM and Transformer models’predictions were primarily due to intra-class misidentifications between single-cylinder and dual-cylinder misfire scenarios.To delve deeper,we conducted a visual analysis of the features extracted by the LSTM and SENET models using T-distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding(T-SNE)technology.The findings revealed that,in the LSTMmodel,data points of the same type tended to cluster together with significant overlap.Conversely,in the SENET model,data points of various types were more widely and evenly dispersed,demonstrating its effectiveness in distinguishing between different fault types.

文摘The Altyn Tagh fault zone(ATFZ),which defines the northern boundary of the Tibetan Plateau,is one of the most striking features related to the India/Eurasia collision.Concurrent with the strike-slip movement,vertical uplift,and topographic building have formed a~3000-4000 m height difference between the Tarim Basin(TB)in the north and the Tibetan Plateau in the south.However,the spatial uplift characteristics and mechanism have not been well understood,particularly in the Late Quaternary.This research presents a comprehensive geomorphic analysis to establish the Late Quaternary tectonic uplift pattern for the entire ATFZ.We statistically excluded climatic and lithological factors that provided prominence for tectonism;combined with leveling data,river incision rate,and seismicity data,we reveal the along-strike and across-fault vertical deformation variations.The spatial distribution of the integrated geomorphic index(IGI)suggests significant differences between the two sides of the ATFZ.The IGI values decrease with slip rates in the northwestern side of the ATF,whereas wave-like in the southeastern side.The significant along-strike deformation difference between the two sides of the ATFZ may cause by differential rheology.These findings are crucial for assessing regional seismic hazards and providing new independent data to understand the Late Quaternary deformation style of the northern boundary of the Tibetan Plateau.
文摘Mountain front faults form the boundary between mountains and adjacent plains.These faults can propagate toward the plains and escalate the risk of seismic hazard for near cities.The North Tehran Fault(NTF)is a mountain front fault bordering the Central Alborz with Tehran and Karaj plains.Structural and morphotectonic data from interpreted aerial photographs,satellite images,airborne geomagnetic data as well as field surveying have been used for detailed segmentation and evolution of the North Tehran Fault.This resulted in identification of the fault segments as the Niknamdeh,Darband,Darakeh-Garmdarreh,and Karaj from east to west.Active kinematics of these segments includes both thrusting and left-lateral components;but the dominant component is different among the segments.The Niknamdeh segment is connected to the Mosha Fault with a hard linkage,while its connection with the Darband segment is a widespread deformation zone.The connection zone between the Darband and Darakeh-Garmdarreh segments has the highest density of minor faults along the North Tehran Fault.The boundary of the Darakeh-Garmdarreh and Karaj segments is controlled by the F-3 transverse fault that has offset the NTF for~3 km right-laterally.The NTF has inverted from normal to dextral oblique fault in Miocene.The fault kinematics has changed from dextral to sinistral in Pliocene-Quaternary.Further regional oblique convergence resulted in minor fault reactivation such as relay ramp breaching faults,propagation of several footwall branches and hangingwall bypasses geometrical change of alluvial fans,and transfer of deformation front southwardly to the Tehran and Karaj plains.The findings of this paper are also applicable to other active oblique converging mountain fronts,inverted mountain front faults and the transition of deformation from these structures to the foreland basin.
文摘Seismic data plays a pivotal role in fault detection,offering critical insights into subsurface structures and seismic hazards.Understanding fault detection from seismic data is essential for mitigating seismic risks and guiding land-use plans.This paper presents a comprehensive review of existing methodologies for fault detection,focusing on the application of Machine Learning(ML)and Deep Learning(DL)techniques to enhance accuracy and efficiency.Various ML and DL approaches are analyzed with respect to fault segmentation,adaptive learning,and fault detection models.These techniques,benchmarked against established seismic datasets,reveal significant improvements over classical methods in terms of accuracy and computational efficiency.Additionally,this review highlights emerging trends,including hybrid model applications and the integration of real-time data processing for seismic fault detection.By providing a detailed comparative analysis of current methodologies,this review aims to guide future research and foster advancements in the effectiveness and reliability of seismic studies.Ultimately,the study seeks to bridge the gap between theoretical investigations and practical implementations in fault detection.

文摘0 INTRODUCTION Turkey is located at the intersection of the Eurasian,Anatolian,Arabian,and African tectonic plates.Due to the ongoing northward compression from the Arabian Plate,the Anatolian Plate is pushed westward in a tectonic escape mechanism,leading to the formation of the North Anatolian fault zone(NAFZ)and the East Anatolian fault zone(EAFZ)(e.g.,Bayrak et al.,2015;Duman and Emre,2013;Reilinger et al.,2006).

文摘The largest Tan-Lu active fault system in northeastern Asia,spans approximately 3500 km in length and varies in width from 10 km to 200 km.In 1668,an earthquake with a magnitude of 8.5 occurred in Tancheng,causing the loss of over 50000 lives.To constrain the timing and process of the Tan-Lu fault system on eastern Asian margin,this study presents the field mapping,thin section observation,geochronology,and microanalysis of Weiyuanpu-Yehe ductile shear zone(WYSZ)of the northern Tan-Lu fault system.Kinematic indicators and microstructures suggest a sense of sinistral strike-slip.The deformation temperature of the mylonite is mediate to high based on the quartz deformation,c-axis fabrics.The differential stress of the shear zone is 20‒40 MPa using quartz paleopiezometry.The dikes within the shear zone yielded zircon U-Pb ages of 165‒163 Ma.However,due to the ambiguous geological relationship between the dikes and shear zone,additional geochronology is warranted.Since the Mesozoic era,based on the exposure of mylonite and dikes,the upper crust has been extensively eroded,exposing the ductile shear zone.Moreover,the understanding of the geometry and process of pre-existing structures has fundamental implications for predicating the potential earthquakes for the Tan-Lu fault system.

文摘The Songliao Basin in northeast China is one of the largest petroliferous basins worldwide,and features the T_(2)fault system,which consists of numerous minor extensional normal faults.This study combines high-resolution 3D seismic datasets to detail the characteristics of the T_(2)fault system,contributing two key findings:(1)The T_(2)faults are confirmed as polygonal fault systems,characterized by closely spaced,layer-bounded faults with small throws,high dip angles,and random orientations,forming intricate polygonal networks.(2)The study reveals the influence of tectonic stresses on the fault system,showing spatial variations across different tectonic units.In depressions,T_(2)faults exhibit short lengths,small throws,high density,and multiple directions.In contrast,in inverted anticline belts,they have longer lengths,bigger throws,higher density,and concordant orientations.These variations demonstrate the impact of tectonic inversion on the development of T_(2)faults.The significance of this research lies in presenting a typical polygonal fault system developed in a deep lake succession and was superposed the influence by regional tectonic stress coeval with its development.The new insights facilitate a reevaluation of the T_(2)fault system's role in hydrocarbon migration and accumulation within the Songliao Basin.

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.
