Lower bound limit analysis using non‐linear programming

This paper describes a new formulation, based on linear finite elements and non‐linear programming, for computing rigorous lower bounds in 1, 2 and 3 dimensions. The resulting optimization problem is typically very large and highly sparse and is solved using a fast quasi‐Newton method whose iteration count is largely independent of the mesh refinement. For two‐dimensional applications, the new formulation is shown to be vastly superior to an equivalent formulation that is based on a linearized yield surface and linear programming. Although it has been developed primarily for geotechnical applications, the method can be used for a wide range of plasticity problems including those with inhomogeneous materials, complex loading, and complicated geometry.

黄河下游稳定主槽之节点整治

稳定主槽是当前黄河下游河道治理的关键。窄深河槽具有很强的泄洪能力与输沙能力,是主槽整治追求的目标。黄河下游均是顺直微弯河道,河道水流最基本的主导机理是沿着阻力最小的方向流动,走直路、走近路,主槽整治设计流路应以顺直为上策。当前有必要对微弯整治方案进行再认识,实现对其否定之否定的提高。控制性弯道整治、对口丁坝整治、节点整治都属于双岸整治的范畴,对双岸整治的方向应予肯定。今后的整治应从微弯整治向节点整治发展,逐步过渡到以节点整治为主,最终达到稳定河势流路、高效排洪输沙之目的。     

Sediment chemistry and nutrient influx in a hydrologically restored bottomland hardwood forest in Midwestern USA

Exchanges of total N and C between a river and its floodplain forest have been enhanced by sedimentation processes during flood pulses at a 5‐ha bottomland hardwood forest located at the Olentangy River Wetland Research Park in central Ohio. In the spring of 2000, the forest was hydrologically restored by notching an artificial levee that had separated the Olentangy River and its floodplain forest for 100 years. One‐hundred flat sediment traps (30 cm × 30 cm) were used to collect sediment samples during spring/summer flooding events from 2003 to 2005. Results showed that sediment deposition is determined by the landscape variability during flooding events, Net sediment deposit in the wettest area averaged 134 ± 12 g‐dry wt m^?2 in 2003, 127 ± 17 g‐dry wt m^?2 in 2004 and 149 ± 23 g‐dry wt m^?2 in 2005. Total N and C sedimentation ranged from 0.49 to 0.92 g‐N m^?2 and 5.2 to 19.9 g‐C m^?2. Fe dominates the sediment chemistry and results show the elemental abundance in the order of Al > Fe > Ca > K > Mg > S > P > Na > Mn > Zn > B > Cu > Mo. A hydrologic pulsing index (HPI) could be used as an indicator for mass changes of energies with hydrologic pulsing events. Restoration of seasonally flooded bottomland forests could stimulate potentially large nutrient and Fe releases, which would eventually lead to an enhanced forest productivity and biodiversity.

黄河下游滩区居民对安全的心理需求

黄河下游滩区居民对自身安全的需求非常强烈，具体表现在以下3个方面：对房屋采取垫高房台等安全措施，出于安全的原因愿意搬离现居住地，较高生育率与偏好男孩。他们建立在安全需求上的相应行为，增大了生活成本，影响着他们生存发展的空间，进而制约着滩区社会经济的发展。     

Robustness analysis of responses of vibration control structures with uncertain parameters using interval algorithm

Variations in system parameters due to uncertainties may result in system performance deterioration. Uncertainties in modeling of structures are often considered to ensure that control system is robust with respect to response errors. Hence, the uncertain concept plays an important role in vibration control of the engineering structures. The paper discusses the robustness of responses of vibration control systems with the uncertain parameters. The vibration control problem of an uncertain system is approximated by a deterministic one. The uncertain parameters are described by interval variables. The uncertain state matrix is constructed directly using system physical parameters and avoided to use bounds in Euclidean norm. The feedback gain matrix is determined based on the deterministic systems, and then it is applied to the actual uncertain systems. A method to calculate the upper and lower bounds of responses of the closed-loop system with uncertain parameters is presented. The upper bounds of responses can be used to estimate the robustness of responses of the controlled system with uncertain parameters. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the applications of the present approach.     

江汉平原印支期以来的盆山耦合关系及下古生界油气响应

利用构造地质学和油气系统理论，以盆地构造-沉积分析技术为手段，研究了印支期以来江汉平原与周缘造山带的耦合关系，探讨了江汉平原的构造演化及其对油气成藏的控制作用。印支期以来江汉平原及周缘经历了挤压、拉张、挤压3次大的构造应力场的转换，使古生代海相碳酸盐岩沉积为主的盆地具有改造盆地的特点；一方面强烈的抬升、剥蚀使早期聚集的油气经历改造和再分配、再聚集过程，另一方面燕山期构造活动使逆冲推覆构造成为该区重要勘探领域。综合分析表明，位于台、盆转换带的宜昌-珂理-簰州区带是目前江汉平原及周缘下古生界油气勘探的有利地区。

宁夏黄河经济及其非均衡协调发展战略

宁夏黄河经济应是宁夏区域经济,发展宁夏黄河经济必须立足于宁夏黄河资源的开发。广义而言,黄河资源基本上是宁夏全部的国土资源.其开发模式应由过去的单一开发、浅层开发向综合开发、深度开发转换。同时要注重以水利建设为突破口,以水利、农业两大基础产业为重点,煤—电—高耗能系列开发、灌溉—农业—轻工业系列开发、教育—人才—信息系列开发三大主导方向并行。发展宁夏黄河经济,应选择具有优势的部门和地区实行重点开发,使其优先增长,以此辐射带动整个区域的发展。
