Many igneous features (e.g. colors, textures, structures, minerals, inclusions) are clear. But most of their petrologic characteristics are different from typical carbonatites over the world. Most petrologic details of the rocks are given by comparison with other carbonatites and adjacent sedimentary dolomites. The discovery of the lavas proves that the carbonatite volcano also existed in Kunyang rift.展开更多

The configuration transformation is prominent feature of the metamorphic mechanism. The number of constraints or properties of the kinematic pairs provided by the metamorphic kinematic pairs will change under certain conditions, its dynamic performance is much more complex than that of traditional kinematic pairs with immutable constraints. However, the clearance model about traditional kinematic pairs with immutable constraints established by long-term research is difficult to be directly applied to the metachromatic kinematic pairs. Referring to the experience of the traditional kinematic pairs with immutable constraints, the continuous contact model of Metamorphic Groove pin pair with clearance is established. According to the traditional continuous contact model of the kinematic pairs with immutable constraints, the forces between the elements of kinematic pair of the mechanism with clearance and the ideal mechanism without clearance are regarded as the same, and the inertia force and inertia moment of the components are also calculated according to the acceleration of the ideal mechanism. The clearance is regarded as a massless virtual bar with length r. For the rotating pair part, the massless virtual bar length r is the difference between the radius of the shaft and the hole, and for the sliding pair part, the massless virtual bar length r is half of the difference between the height of the slider and the guide groove. According to the new mechanism without gap after adding the imaginary bar, kinetic energy and potential energy of the system are calculated for the two configurations of mechanism with metamorphic Groove pin pair with clearance. The kinetic energy and potential energy of the system are calculated according to the new mechanism without clearance after adding the massless virtual bar. The kinetic energy, potential energy and generalized force are substituted into the Lagrangian equation to obtain the motion equation of the metamorphic mechanism, which lays the foundation for the dynamic performance study of the mechanism with metamorphic groove pin pair with clearance.展开更多

文摘The carbonatite lavas found in the Kunyang Group were formed in submarine extrusive environment. Many igneous features (e.g. colors, textures, structures, minerals, inclusions) are clear. But most of their petrologic characteristics are different from typical carbonatites over the world. Most petrologic details of the rocks are given by comparison with other carbonatites and adjacent sedimentary dolomites. The discovery of the lavas proves that the carbonatite volcano also existed in Kunyang rift.

文摘0 INTRODUCTION Initial subduction involves the complex process of oceanic lithosphere first inserting beneath oceanic or continental lithosphere(Chen et al.,2024;Yang et al.,2022;Stern and Gerya,2018).The modern Izu-Bonin-Mariana(IBM)initial subduction system suggests that identifying the earliest ophiolites,arc igneous and metamorphic complexes(e.g.,blueschist,eclogites)can reconstruct ancient initial subduction systems(Yao et al.,2021;Ishizuka et al.,2011).However,knowledge of ancient subduction initiation is often limited due to poor exposures of rocks formed during the earliest stages of subduction(Chen et al.,2024;Cawood et al.,2009).
文摘The Tahtai Logomiti area is characterized by metavolcanic and metavolcaniclastic interbedded with clastic and carbonate metasedimentary rocks of Neoproterozoic age.New geological,petrographic,major,and trace elements data were used to evaluate the metamorphism,petrogenesis,and paleo-tectonic setting of the area.The field and petrographic observation indicate that the area has undergone greenschist facies metamorphism.Based on mineralogy and geochemical attributes,these metavolcanic rocks are classified as basalt,basaltic-andesite,andesite,and dacite.The moderate degrees of light rare earth element(LREE)enrichment,flat heavy rare earth element(HREE)pattern,and low Nb/Y ratio,represent shallow mantle sources.In addition to that,the TiO_(2)/Yb vs.Nb/Yb diagram,high(La/Yb)N ratio(>3.44),indicates shallow melting and depleted magma sources.However,the high ratios of(Th/Ta)>3.8,(La/Ta)>38,and low ratios of(Th/La)<1,(Nb/La)<1,and high Pb content would indicate crustal contamination of the magma.The discrimination diagram and trace element ratios(Nb/Y,La/Sc,La/Y,and La/Th)indicate that the metavolcanic rocks have a calc-alkaline affinity.In addition,the ZrNb-Y and Th-Hf-Ta plots show that the rocks formed under a volcanic-arc setting.The general petrological and geochemical characteristics of the Tahtai Logomiti metavolcanic rocks suggest that the area is associated with subduction-related arc accretion of the Arabian Nubian Shield.

文摘NWA 6950 is a type of cumulate gabbro meteorite that displays features indicating a lunar origin.Specifically,the Fe/Mn values of olivines and pyroxenes in the meteorite suggest a lunar origin,as does the presence of Fe-Ni metal.The meteorite has also undergone intense shock metamorphism,which is evidenced by the presence of ringwoodite,tuite,and xieite(a type of chromite with a CaTi_(2)O_(4)structure)within the shock melt veins(SMVs).The texture,mineral modal abundances,and bulk compositions(measured from the SMVs)of NWA 6950 are similar to those of the NWA 773 clan,as are the concentrations and patterns of rare-earth-elements in olivine,pyroxene,plagioclase,and phosphate.In-situ U-Pb dating of baddeleyite and phosphate in NWA 6950 has determined its crystallization age to be 3133±11 and 3129±23 Ma,which is consistent with age data provided by Shaulis et al.(2017).Further,the chronology of the NWA 773 clan appears to be at least bimodal when considering the age of NWA 3333(3038±20 Ma;Merle et al.,2020).The tight range of ages for the NWA 773 clan at approximately 3.1 Ga coincides with a change in the eruption flux and style on the Moon.This suggests that lunar volcanism may have shifted from extrusivedominated to intrusive-dominated at approximately 3.1 Ga,resulting in the widespread distribution of gabbro lithologies on the Moon.

文摘The Heilongjiang Complex in northeast China(NE China)separates the Jiamusi and Songliao blocks and marks the suture zone of the former Mudanjiang Ocean,as evidenced by a variety of oceanic basalt-derived blueschists.Understanding the closure history of the Mudanjiang Ocean is crucial to unravelling the tectonic transition from the final amalgamation of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt(CAOB)to the onset of the Paleo-Pacific subduction.In this study,we investigate epidote-ferroglaucophane(Ep-Fgl)and garnet-ferrobarroisite(Grt-Fbrs)schists from the Yilan area of the Heilongjiang Complex through petrological,mineralogical,thermodynamic modelling,whole-rock geochemical,and geochronological analyses.The Ep-Fgl schists preserve a peak assemblage of ferroglaucophane+epidote+chlorite+clinopyroxene+phengite+titanite with peak P-T conditions of 13.5-15.8 kbar and 458-495℃.On the other hand,the Grt-Fbrs schists exhibit a peak assemblage of garnet+glaucophane/ferroglaucophane+lawsonite+chlorite+phengite+rutile±clinopyroxene±titanite,deriving peak P-T conditions of 16.4-18.3 kbar and 457-475℃.Both types of schist record similar clockwise P-T paths,with three metamorphic stages:a peak epidote-to-lawsonite blueschist-facies stage,a post-peak decompression stage in the epidote amphibolite-facies,and a late greenschist-facies overprint stage.The Ep-Fgl schists display alkaline OIB-like geochemical affinities,while the Grt-Fbrs schists show tholeiitic MORB-like characteristics,suggesting that the protoliths represent fragments of the Mudanjiang oceanic crust.Magmatic zircon grains from Ep-Fgl schists yield protolith ages of 276±1 Ma and 280±1 Ma,whereas zircon of Grt-Fbrs schists document protolith ages of 249±2 Ma and 248±2 Ma,indicating that the Mudanjiang Ocean existed since at least the early Permian.Reconstruction of the metamorphic P-T evolution,combined with previous magmatic and metamorphic age data from rocks of the Heilongjiang Complex and of adjacent tectonic units suggests that the subduction and eventual closure of the Mudanjiang Ocean occurred between the late Triassic and middle Jurassic,driven by a regional stress regime shift caused by the westward subduction of the Paleo-Pacific Plate beneath Eurasia.

文摘The Yishui complex,located in the western Shandong area of the North China Craton,is representative of the Archean crystalline basement of the North China Craton to explore the early tectonic-thermal evolution history of the Earth.Detailed petrography,mineral chemistry,metamorphic evolution and zircon U-Pb dating are presented for felsic granulite and two-pyroxene granulite from the Yishui complex to contribute to new insights into the Neoarchean tectonic evolution of the North China Craton.Three mineral assemblages are recognized for these granulite samples,including the prograde(M1),peak(M2)and retrograde(M3)mineral assemblages.Conventional geothermobarometry and phase equilibrium modeling yield P-T conditions of 6.5-10.9 kbar/718-839℃ for the peak metamorphism,which define a medium-pressure granulite-facies metamorphism occurred at middle to lower crust.Anticlockwise P-T paths with near-isobaric cooling(IBC)retrograde segments were reconstructed.Zircon LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating suggests that the protolith of the felsic granulite was emplaced at 2541±7 Ma and the subsequent medium-pressure granulite-facies metamorphism occurred at 2518-2494 Ma.A two-stage mantle plume related crustal-scale sagduction geodynamic regime is proposed in the western Shandong terrane in the Neoarchean.

文摘The Tasmanian microcontinent,situated along the East Gondwana accretionary margin during the late Neoproterozoic and early Palaeozoic,contains an unequivocal high-pressure metamorphic record comprising key information pertaining to the geodynamics of subduction along the margin.Subduction of the Tasmanian microcontinent is interpreted by some as a response to back-arc basin inversion prior to ophiolite obduction and high-pressure metamorphism during the Cambrian Tyennan Orogeny.However,thermobarometric evidence in support of such a model from rocks once positioned on the subducting continental margin is lacking.Despite occurrences of eclogite-facies mineral assemblages in the strongly deformed Tyennan Region of western Tasmania,garnet-bearing quartzofeldspathic assemblages documented in metasedimentary lithologies from the remote south-west coast of Tasmania have been interpreted as an expression of low-to moderate-pressure metamorphism.We report a strongly overprinted chlorite-quartz-garnet-bearing assemblage from the southern Tyennan Region(Nye Bay)which shows evidence for high-pressure metamorphism.Coarse-grained garnet porphyroblasts contain inclusions of kyanite,muscovite,and rutile,and yield in-situ Lu-Hf dates of c.520 Ma.The cm-scale garnet porphyroblasts are zoned in the major and trace elements,preserving core-rim compositional gradients reflecting garnet growth up-pressure.Aided by mineral equilibria forward modelling,the garnet rim compositions and the Zr content of Cambrian rutile constrain peak metamorphic conditions of∼17.5-19 kbar and∼780-820℃,equivalent to warm subduction thermal gradients between 410-470℃/GPa.Garnet core compositions and the Ti content of quartz inclusions in the garnet cores constrain the pressures and temperatures for garnet nucleation to∼6-7 kbar and∼560-580℃,corresponding to relatively high prograde thermal gradients between 800-965℃/GPa.The thermal gradients determined from the south-west Tasmanian metamorphic record provide a direct window into the progressive evolution of the thermal state of the Cambrian subduction system,with the physical conditions of garnet nucleation potentially reflecting those of subduction initiation.The corresponding warm thermal gradients provide evidence for subduction initiation driven by the collapse of a pre-orogenic back-arc.This interpretation is consistent with an existing tectonic model for the Tyennan Orogeny which proposes a back-arc basin origin for the protoliths to the western Tasmanian sub-ophiolitic metamorphic sole.

文摘It has long been recognized that garnet has the capacity to preserve the trace element and isotopic signature of distinct metamorphic growth zones because of its high closure temperature.Combined with the large size of certain garnet porphyroblast,this allows investigating variations in metamorphic conditions such as pressure,temperature,deviatoric stress,and fluid composition,which occur during subduction-related metamorphism.Here,one garnet porphyroblast of 6 cm diameter was sampled from the Yardoi schists of Xizang,and the major-,trace-,and Li-Mg isotopic compositions of distinct growth zones were determined in situ.The δ^(7)Li values range from+6.0‰to+4.1‰and follow‘S-shaped’patterns on both sides of the garnet’s core,revealing a two-stage growth process corresponding to the fluid-assisted sequential recrystallization of chlorite and micas during prograde metamorphism.By contrast,once corrected for the overprinting by retrograde metamorphism,theδ^(26)Mg values vary monotonically from−1.73‰in the core to−1.32‰in the outer rim,reflecting a single-step process interpreted to result from increasing temperature and the solid-state recrystallization of chlorite-biotite during prograde metamorphism.This different behavior of Li and Mg isotopes is interpreted to result from the fact that Li is more fluid-mobile than the major element Mg.

文摘The stratum lithology and geological structure of the highway tunnel in the mountainous areas of western China are complex,and the engineering geological conditions are complicated.When the highway tunnel passes through different lithological strata,its structural design and construction technology are completely diff erent.Therefore,in order to support the tunnel design and construction,the tunnel survey Among them,the identification of the contact boundary between magmatic rock and metamorphic rock and the grade of surrounding rock is very important.Through magnetotelluric survey of the Mupi tunnel of Jiuzhaigou-Mianyang highway on G8513 line,2D forward numerical simulation,1D,2D,3D inversion,and engineering geological analysis,it is revealed that the electrical characteristics of each layer,focusing on the identification of the contact boundary between magmatic rock and metamorphic rock.This study provides the electrical characteristics of the magmatic rock and metamorphic rock contact boundary of the Mupi Tunnel.It is speculated that the boundary is revealed by the tunnel construction excavation,which verifies the correctness of the geophysical inversion model and provides a more detailed design basis for the tunnel design.I believe that taking the Mupi Tunnel survey as an example,through this research,it can provide detailed geophysical evidence for highway tunnels to distinguish between magmatic rock and metamorphic rock.

文摘The intricate relationship between origami and mechanism underscores the fertile ground for innovation,which is particularly evident in the construction theory of thick-panel origami.Despite its potential,thick panel origami remains relatively unexplored in the context of single-loop metamorphic mechanisms.Drawing inspiration from thickpanel origami,particularly Miura origami,this study proposes a pioneering single-loop 6R multiple metamorphic mechanism.Through rigorous mathematical modeling(including the construction and resolution of the D-H closed-loop equation)and leveraging advanced analytical tools such as the screw theory and Lie theory,this study meticulously elucidates the planar,spherical,and Bennett motion branches of the mechanism.Furthermore,it delineates all the three bifurcation points between the motion branches,thereby providing a comprehensive understanding of the kinematic behavior of the mechanism.A metamorphic network can be constructed by applying several single-loop mechanisms to a symmetrical layout.Owing to its metamorphic properties,this network can act as a structural backbone for deployable antennas,aerospace shelters,and morphing wing units,thereby enabling a single mechanism to achieve multiple folding configurations.This paper not only introduces innovative metamorphic mechanisms but also suggests a promising method for uncovering and designing metamorphic mechanisms by developing new mechanisms from thick-panel origami.

文摘Current research on reconfigurable parallel mechanisms(RPMs)primarily focuses on achieving limited configuration changes,while mechanisms capable of extensive mode switching with distinct motion branches remain challenging to design.Conventional kinematotropic chains offer limited reconfigurability,underscoring the need for novel designs that enable broader operational adaptability.In this research,a novel diamond-like chain(DLC)with metamorphic units is proposed developed from generalized diamond kinematotropic chains.By altering the axes of the metamorphic units,the DLC realizes three distinct configurations,each corresponding to one of five motion branches characterized by bifurcation and metamorphic transitions.This DLC serves as the fundamental building block for constructing a reconfigurable hybrid limb.Using screw theory,the constraint properties of the limb in its five phases are analyzed and classified into three types:unconstrained limbs,limbs applying constraint forces,and limbs applying constraint couples.Based on this analysis,a RPM consisting of three reconfigurable limbs is developed.Its reconfigurability stems from the inherent bifurcation and metamorphic capabilities of the DLC-based limbs.This research introduces a RPM capable of controlled switching among ten distinct motion modes,with mobility ranging from three to six degrees of freedom.The proposed mechanism demonstrates high versatility and practical feasibility,offering a promising solution for applications requiring variable motion characteristics and adaptive performance.
