However, actual S-wave velocity data are lacking, especially in 4D data for CO2 sequestration because wells are closed after the CO2 injection and seismic monitoring is continued but no well log data are acquired. When CO2 is injected into a reservoir, the pressure and saturation of the reservoirs change as well as the elastic parameters of the reservoir rocks. We propose a method to predict the S-wave velocity in reservoirs at different pressures and porosities based on the Hertz-Mindlin and Gassmann equations. Because the coordination number is unknown in the Hertz Mindlin equation, we propose a new method to predict it. Thus, we use data at different CO2 injection stages in the Gao89 well block, Shengli Oilfield. First, the sand and mud beds are separated based on the structural characteristics of the thin sand beds and then the S-wave velocity as a function of reservoir pressure and porosity is calculated. Finally, synthetic seismic seismograms are generated based on the predicted P- and S-wave velocities at different stages of CO2 injection.展开更多

Although the two flows are similar, there are many differences. The results achieved in such manner are therefore also only similar to the results that can be achieved during measurements in the surf zone. Present article deals with boundary layer measurements on an inclined bottom under breaking waves. The measurements over the whole wave cycle were carried out, and the shear velocity under the breaking wave was calculated based on the measurements. It was found that there is a considerable space and time variation of the term in the surf zone. The turbulence generated during the wave breaking changes the shape of the shear velocity profile in comparison to the profile measured before breaking. As the values of shear velocity are directly correlated with the description of the whole velocity field in the wave, it can be assumed that the enhanced description of the shear velocity results in better understanding of the whole velocity field under breaking waves. Therefore, the article brings a new insight into the field and aims to make a discussion about the need to rethink the way of describing the boundary layer flow in the surf zone.展开更多

The paper provides a brief synthesis of ground motion and site effects analysis procedures within a Performance-Based Design framework. In particular it focuses about the influence on the evaluation of site effects in some active regions by different shear waves velocity measurements (Down Hole D-H and Seismic Dilatometer Marchetti Test SDMT). Moreover the variation of shear modulus and damping ratio with strain level and depth from different laboratory dynamic or cyclic tests for soil characterisation (Resonant Column Test RCT) was evaluated. The available data enabled one to compare the shear waves velocity profile obtained by laboratory and in situ tests (Cone Penetration Tests CPT) with empirical correlations proposed in literature.展开更多

The paper presents a method of theoretical analysis in order to explicate the formation mechanism of residual stresses in cutting. An important conclusion is drawn that the accumulated plastic strain is the main factor which determines the nature and the magnitude of surface residual stresses in the workpiece. On the basis of the analytical model for residual stress, a series of simulations for residual stress prediction during cutting AISI 1045 steel are implemented in order to obtain the influences of cutting speed, depth of cut and tool edge radius on surface residual stress in the workpiece. And these influences are explained from the perspective of formation mechanism of residual stress in cutting. The conclusions have good applicability and can be used to guide the parameters selection in actual production.展开更多
