The calculations were performed by plane-wave pseudopotential method in the framework of the density functional theory with local density approximation. The density of states and the valence charge densities of these solids are plotted. The results show that B0 does not vary monotonically when the number of the valence d electrons increases. B0 reaches a maximum and then decreases for each of the four sorts of solids. It is related to the occupation of the bonding and anti-bonding states in the solid. The value of the valence charge density at the midpoint between the two nearest metal atoms tends to be proportional to B0.展开更多

To ensure faithful molecular dynamics simulations, two types of potentials, the shell-model (SM) potential and the two-body rigid-ion Born-Mayer-Huggins-FumiqTosi (BMHFT) potential, are fully tested. Compared with the SM potential based simulation, the molecular dynamics simulation with the BMHFT potential is very successful in reproducing accurately the measured bulk modulus of NaCl. Particular attention is paid to the prediction of the isothermal bulk modulus and its first pressure derivative using the reliable potential and to the comparison of the SM and the BMHFT potentials based molecular dynamics simulations with the quasi-harmonic Debye model. The properties of NaCl in the pressure range of 0-30 GPa at temperatures up to the melting temperature of 1050 K are investigated.展开更多

The calculated positive eigenvalues of the elastic constant matrix show that the orthorhombic Pbca structure of ReN4 is elastically stable. The calculated band structure indicates that ReN4 is metallic. Compared with the synthesized superhard material WB4, it finds that ReN4 exhibits larger bulk and shear moduli as well as a smaller Poisson's ratio. In addition, the elastic constant c44 of ReN4 is larger than all the known 5d transition metal nitrides and borides. This combination of properties makes it an ideal candidate for a superhard material.展开更多

To estimate pore pressure accurately, we here propose to use elastic rock physics models to understand and analyze quantitatively the various contributions from these different factors affecting wave velocity. We report a closed-form relationship between the frame flexibility factor(γ) in a rock physics model and differential pressure, which presents the major control of pressure on elastic properties such as bulk modulus and compressional wave velocity. For a gas-bearing shale with abundant micro-cracks and fractures, its bulk modulus is much lower at abnormally high pore pressure(high γ values) where thin cracks and flat pores are open than that at normal hydrostatic pressure(low γ values) where pores are more rounded on average. The developed relations between bulk modulus and differential pressure have been successfully applied to the Upper Ordovician Wufeng and Lower Silurian Longmaxi formations in the Dingshan area of the Sichuan Basin to map the three-dimensional spatial distribution of pore pressure in the shale, integrating core, log and seismic data. The estimated results agree well with field measurements. Pressure coefficient is positively correlated to gas content. The relations and methods reported here could be useful for hydrocarbon exploration, production, and drilling safety in both unconventional and conventional fields.展开更多

The five independent elastic constants (Cij), the bulk modulus (B0), the dependence of bulk modulus (B0) on temperature T and pressure P and the coefficient of thermal expansion (αL) at various temperatures have been evaluated and discussed. According to calculation, the bulk modulus will increase with increasing pressure while decrease with the increasing temperature. The coefficient of thermal expansion is consistent with the famous Griineisen's law when the temperature is not too high. The obtained results agree well with the experimental and other theoretical results.展开更多

Five independent elastic constants are C11=662 GPa, C12=150 GPa, C13=146 GPa, C33=1090 GPa and Caa=263 GPa. The bulk modulus (B), shear modulus (G), Young's modulus (E), Poisson's ratio (γ) and the ratio of linear com- pressibility coefficient along the a- and c-axis crystal direction (Ka/Kc) are 356 GPa, 305 GPa, 711 GPa, 0.167 and 1.758, respectively. In addition, the dependence of bulk modulus (B) on temperature (T) and pressure (p) as well as the coefficient of thermal expansion (αL) at various temperatures are evaluated and discussed. The coefficient of thermal expansion is consistent with the famous Grüneisen's law when the temperature is less than 1500 K. Our results agree well with the other experimental results.展开更多

Rietveld refinements of the x-ray powder diffraction data verified that the hexagonal structure(with space group P63/m, Z = 2 formulas per unit cell) β-Si3N4 remained stable under high pressure up to 37 GPa. Upon increasing pressure, β-Si3 N4 transformed to δ-Si3N4 at about 41 GPa. The initial β-Si3N4 was recovered as the pressure was released to ambient pressure, implying that the observed pressureinduced phase transformation was reversible. The pressure–volume data of β-Si3N4 was fitted by the third-order Birch–Murnaghan equation of state, which yielded a bulk modulus K0= 273(2) GPa with its pressure derivative K0= 4(fixed)and K0= 278(2) GPa with K 0= 5. Furthermore, the compressibility of the unit cell axes(a and c-axes) for the β-Si3N4 demonstrated an anisotropic property with increasing pressure.展开更多

The fluid substitution process was analyzed by using ultrasonic measurement and theoretical calculations. The results showed that the effect of fluid substitution on the rock elastic modulus was mainly controlled by fluid properties, saturation, and confining pressure. For a rock with specific properties and porosity, the result of theoretical prediction for fluid substitution accorded with the experimental result under high confining pressure (higher than 60 MPa for our experimental data), but failed to describe the trend of experimental result under low confining pressure and VP predicted by Gassmann's equation was higher than that measured by experiment. A higher porosity resulted in stronger sensitivity of the bulk modulus of saturated rocks to the change of fluid properties.展开更多

The analytical solutions derived here are new and general for power_law variations of the elastic moduli of the inhomogeneous interphases. Given a power exponent, analytical expressions for the bulk moduli of the composites with inho mogeneous interphases can be obtained. By changing the power exponent and the coefficients of the power terms, the solutions derived here can be applied to inhomogeneous interphases with many different property profiles. The results show that the modulus variation and the thickness of the inhomogeneous interphase have great effect on the bulk moduli of the composites. The particle will exhibit a sort of “size effect”, if there is an interphase.展开更多

The determination of the bulk modulus of such a medium is critical to the elastic wave dispersion and attenuation. The elastic moduli for a simple matrix-inclusion model are theoretically analyzed. Most of the efforts assume a uniform inclusion concentration throughout the whole single-material matrix. However, the assumption is too strict in real-world rocks. A model is developed to estimate the moduli of a heterogeneous bimaterial skeleton, i.e., the host matrix and the patchy matrix. The elastic moduli, density, and permeability of the patchy matrix differ from those of the surrounding host matrix material. Both the matrices contain dispersed particle inclusions with different concentrations. By setting the elastic constant and density of the particles to be zero, a double-porosity medium is obtained. The bulk moduli for the whole system are derived with a multi-level effective modulus method based on Hashin's work. The proposed model improves the elastic modulus calculation of reservoir rocks, and is used to predict the kerogen content based on the wave velocity measured in laboratory. The results show pretty good consistency between the inversed total organic carbon and the measured total organic carbon for two sets of rock samples.展开更多

According to calculation, the bulk modulus will increase with increasing pressure while decrease with the increasing temperature. The coefficient of thermal expansion is consistent with the famous Griineisen's law when the temperature is not too high. The obtained results agree well with the experimental and other theoretical results.

文摘The elastic and physical characteristics of ReB2 crystal have been predicted through a method of density functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). Five independent elastic constants are C11=662 GPa, C12=150 GPa, C13=146 GPa, C33=1090 GPa and Caa=263 GPa. The bulk modulus (B), shear modulus (G), Young's modulus (E), Poisson's ratio (γ) and the ratio of linear com- pressibility coefficient along the a- and c-axis crystal direction (Ka/Kc) are 356 GPa, 305 GPa, 711 GPa, 0.167 and 1.758, respectively. In addition, the dependence of bulk modulus (B) on temperature (T) and pressure (p) as well as the coefficient of thermal expansion (αL) at various temperatures are evaluated and discussed. The coefficient of thermal expansion is consistent with the famous Grüneisen's law when the temperature is less than 1500 K. Our results agree well with the other experimental results.

文摘The compressibility and pressure-induced phase transition of β-Si3N4 were investigated by using an angle dispersive x-ray diffraction technique in a diamond anvil cell at room temperature. Rietveld refinements of the x-ray powder diffraction data verified that the hexagonal structure(with space group P63/m, Z = 2 formulas per unit cell) β-Si3N4 remained stable under high pressure up to 37 GPa. Upon increasing pressure, β-Si3 N4 transformed to δ-Si3N4 at about 41 GPa. The initial β-Si3N4 was recovered as the pressure was released to ambient pressure, implying that the observed pressureinduced phase transformation was reversible. The pressure–volume data of β-Si3N4 was fitted by the third-order Birch–Murnaghan equation of state, which yielded a bulk modulus K0= 273(2) GPa with its pressure derivative K0= 4(fixed)and K0= 278(2) GPa with K 0= 5. Furthermore, the compressibility of the unit cell axes(a and c-axes) for the β-Si3N4 demonstrated an anisotropic property with increasing pressure.

文摘The unreacted equation of state(EOS) of energetic materials is an important thermodynamic relationship to characterize their high pressure behaviors and has practical importance. The previous experimental and theoretical works on the equation of state of several energetic materials including nitromethane, 1,3,5-trinitrohexahydro-1,3,5-triazine(RDX),1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazacyclooctane(HMX), hexanitrostilbene(HNS), hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane(HNIW or CL-20), pentaerythritol tetranitrate(PETN), 2,6-diamino-3,5-dinitropyrazine-1-oxide(LLM-105), triamino-trinitrobenzene(TATB), 1,1-diamino-2,2-dinitroethene(DADNE or FOX-7), and trinitrotoluene(TNT) are reviewed in this paper. The EOS determined from hydrostatic and non-hydrostatic compressions are discussed and compared. The theoretical results based on ab initio calculations are summarized and compared with the experimental data.

文摘The equilibrium crystal structures,lattice parameters,elastic constants,and elastic moduli of the polymorphs α-,β-,and γ-Si3N4,have been calculated by first-principles method.β-Si3N4 is ductile in nature and has an ionic bonding.γSi3N4 is found to be a brittle material and has covalent chemical bonds,especially at high pressures.The phase boundary of the β→γ transition is obtained and a positive slope is found.This indicates that at higher temperatures it requires higher pressures to synthesize γ-Si3N4.On the other hand,the α→γ phase boundary can be described as P = 14.37198+ 3.27 × 10?3T-7.83911 × 10?7T2-3.13552 × 10?10T3.The phase transition from α-to γ-Si3N4 occurs at 16.1 GPa and 1700 K.Then,the dependencies of bulk modulus,heat capacity,and thermal expansion on the pressure P are obtained in the ranges of 0 GPa-30 GPa and 0 K-2000 K.Significant features in these properties are observed at high temperatures.It turns out that the thermal expansion of γ-Si3N4 is larger than that of α-Si3N4 over wide pressure and temperature ranges.The evolutions of the heat capacity with temperature for the Si3N4 polymorphs are close to each other,which are important for possible applications of Si3N4.

文摘Analysis of the effect of changes in fluid properties of rocks on the compressional-wave velocity VP and shear-wave velocity Vs is very important for understanding the rock physical properties, especially in oilfield exploration and development. The fluid substitution process was analyzed by using ultrasonic measurement and theoretical calculations. The results showed that the effect of fluid substitution on the rock elastic modulus was mainly controlled by fluid properties, saturation, and confining pressure. For a rock with specific properties and porosity, the result of theoretical prediction for fluid substitution accorded with the experimental result under high confining pressure (higher than 60 MPa for our experimental data), but failed to describe the trend of experimental result under low confining pressure and VP predicted by Gassmann's equation was higher than that measured by experiment. A higher porosity resulted in stronger sensitivity of the bulk modulus of saturated rocks to the change of fluid properties.
文摘By transforming the governing equations for displacement components into Riccati equations, analytical solutions for displacements, strains and stresses for Representive Volume Elements (RVEs) of particle_ and fiber_reinforced composites containing inhomo geneous interphases were obtained. The analytical solutions derived here are new and general for power_law variations of the elastic moduli of the inhomogeneous interphases. Given a power exponent, analytical expressions for the bulk moduli of the composites with inho mogeneous interphases can be obtained. By changing the power exponent and the coefficients of the power terms, the solutions derived here can be applied to inhomogeneous interphases with many different property profiles. The results show that the modulus variation and the thickness of the inhomogeneous interphase have great effect on the bulk moduli of the composites. The particle will exhibit a sort of “size effect”, if there is an interphase.

文摘Reservoir porous rocks usually consist of more than two types of matrix materials, forming a randomly heterogeneous material. The determination of the bulk modulus of such a medium is critical to the elastic wave dispersion and attenuation. The elastic moduli for a simple matrix-inclusion model are theoretically analyzed. Most of the efforts assume a uniform inclusion concentration throughout the whole single-material matrix. However, the assumption is too strict in real-world rocks. A model is developed to estimate the moduli of a heterogeneous bimaterial skeleton, i.e., the host matrix and the patchy matrix. The elastic moduli, density, and permeability of the patchy matrix differ from those of the surrounding host matrix material. Both the matrices contain dispersed particle inclusions with different concentrations. By setting the elastic constant and density of the particles to be zero, a double-porosity medium is obtained. The bulk moduli for the whole system are derived with a multi-level effective modulus method based on Hashin's work. The proposed model improves the elastic modulus calculation of reservoir rocks, and is used to predict the kerogen content based on the wave velocity measured in laboratory. The results show pretty good consistency between the inversed total organic carbon and the measured total organic carbon for two sets of rock samples.

文摘A methodology for achieving the maximum bulk or shear modulus in an elastic composite composed of two isotropic phases with distinct Poisson’s ratios is proposed.A topology optimization algorithm is developed which is capable of finding microstructures with extreme properties very close to theoretical upper bounds.The effective mechanical properties of the designed composite are determined by a numerical homogenization technique.The sensitivities with respect to design variables are derived by simultaneously interpolating Young’smodulus and Poisson’s ratio using different parameters.The so-called solid isotropicmaterial with penalizationmethod is developed to establish the optimization formulation.Maximum bulk or shearmodulus is considered as the objective function,and the volume fraction of constituent phases is taken as constraints.Themethod ofmoving asymptotes is applied to update the design variables.Several 3D numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed structural optimization method.The effects of key parameters such as Poisson’s ratios and volume fractions of constituent phase on the final designs are investigated.A series of novel microstructures are obtained fromthe proposed approach.It is found that the optimized bulk and shearmoduli of all the studied composites are very close to the Hashin-Shtrikman-Walpole bounds.
