Tectônica rúptil meso-cenozóica na região do Domo de Lages, SC / Meso-cenozoic brittle tectonics of the Lages Dome, SCLuiz Fernando Roldan 22 June 2007 (has links)
Este trabalho tem como objetivo discutir a evolução tectônica meso-cenozóica do Domo de Lages, SC, envolvendo análise das estruturas rúpteis que afetam as rochas da região, análise morfométrica e da rede de drenagem e aspectos geomorfológicos relevantes. O Domo de Lages, localizado na borda leste da Bacia do Paraná, na porção sul do estado de Santa Catarina, é caracterizado pela ocorrência de uma grande variedade de rochas alcalinas de idade neo-cretácea. Estas rochas afloram na forma de sills e diques e são intrusivas no pacote sedimentar da Bacia do Paraná, causando-lhe um soerguimento da ordem de centenas a milhares de metros. As rochas alcalinas foram afetadas por estruturas rúpteis, particularmente falhas transcorrentes e normais, denotando a presença de uma tectônica ativa durante o cenozóico. Para o entendimento do quadro evolutivo do domo, além da análise estrutural, foram elaborados diversos mapas morfométricos (hipsométrico, declividades, orientação de vertentes, superfícies de base, rugosidade, gradiente hidráulico e densidade de lineamentos e drenagens) derivados diretamente do Modelo Digital de Elevação, que por sua vez foi obtido pelo tratamento de dados SRTM (Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission) da Agência Espacial Americana (NASA). O trabalho foi complementado com a análise da rede de drenagem e de lineamentos extraídos de imagens, juntamente com a elaboração de perfis topográficos. Os resultados mostram tratar-se de uma estrutura dômica alongada com eixo maior orientado na direção NW-SE, marcada pelo alinhamento de intrusões alcalinas e basculamento dos acamamentos das rochas sedimentares que apresentam mergulho radial para fora da estrutura. A análise do relevo revelou a existência de uma superfície de aplainamento, hoje preservada na cota de 1200 m, que teria sido afetada por falhas normais de direções NW-SE e NE-SW. O modelo tectônico evolutivo elaborado para a região contempla a seguinte seqüência de eventos: atuação de esforços compressivos NE-SW no final do cretáceo, gerando falhas normais NE-SW, que afetam as rochas básicas da Formação Serra Geral e condicionam a colocação de diques alcalinos e a estruturação do domo; geração de falhas transcorrentes destrais que afetam todas as rochas da região, incluindo as rochas alcalinas, com binário orientado na direção NNE-SSW; configuração de uma superfície de aplainamento preservada na cota de 1200m, que perdurou, provavelmente, até o mioceno; distensão NE-SW e geração de falhas normais NW-SE que abatem e basculam a superfície aplainada e reorganizam a rede de drenagens; instalação de um provável evento distensivo NW-SE, responsável pela formação de falhas normais NE-SW, marcadas principalmente nos mapas morfométricos. / This study was focused on the meso-cenozoic tectonic evolution of the Domo de Lages region (south Santa Catarina State, Southern Brazil), through the analysis of brittle structures affecting sedimentary and igneous rocks, morphometric parameters, drainage network and main geomorphological features. Located in the border of the Paraná sedimentary basin, the Domo de Lages is characterized by a great variety of Late Cretacic alkaline rocks, which crops out as sills and dikes cutting the Paleozoic sedimentary rocks, and are associated with an uplift of hundreds to thousands of meters. These alkaline rocks are affected by brittle structures, mainly transcurrent and normal faults, indicative of Cenozoic active tectonics. In addition to the structural analysis, several morphometric maps were developed, as an aid to enlighten the evolutionary history of the region. Maps of hypsometry, slope, aspect, isobase surfaces, surface roughness, hydraulic gradient, lineament density and drainage density were derived from SRTM (Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission) Digital Elevation Models provided by NASA, and were complemented by topographic profiles, analysis of drainage network and lineament orientation. Results show that the dome has a elongated shape with major axis oriented NW-SE, defined by alignment of intrusive bodies and tilting of sedimentary rocks bedding planes, dipping radially outwards the center of the structure. Topographic analysis revealed the existence of a planation surface, preserved at 1200m a.s.l., wich would have been affected by NW-SE and NE-SW normal faults. A tectonic evolutionary model for the region was elaborated, according the following sequence of events: in the end of Cretaceous, a compressive NE stress generates NE-SW normal faults, which affect the basic rocks of Serra Geral Formation and controls the emplacement of alkaline dikes and the uplift of the domic structure; formation of transcurrent dextral faults affecting all rocks of the area, including the alkalines, with NNE-SSW oriented binary; development of a planation surface preserved at 1200m a.s.l. which remained probably until the Miocene; NE-SW extension, creating NW-SE normal faults that lowered and tilted the levelled surface and affected the drainage network; a last extensive NW-SE event probably happened, responsible for NE-SW normal faults seen mainly in the morphometric maps.

Influence du vieillissement statique sur la transition ductile-fragile des aciers au C-Mn / Influence of the static strain ageing on the ductile-to-brittle transition in C-Mn steelMarais, Anthony 26 November 2012 (has links)
Les aciers ferritiques pour structures industrielles présentent une transition fragile-ductile de ténacité et de résilience avec leur température. Leur résistance à la rupture fragile joue un rôle essentiel dans la certification de la sécurité des structures industrielles importantes. De nos jours, le souci de performance et de longévité sont des points clés pour des acteurs majeurs comme EDF.Dans ces études de transition ductile-fragile, de ténacité et de résilience, la ténacité est prédite à partir de la résilience. Plusieurs travaux antérieurs ont déjà montré que la probabilité de rupture par clivage peut être correctement décrite dans le palier fragile par une approche locale de la rupture. Mais ces études supposent que le matériau ne subit pas de vieillissement sous déformation, ce qui est en fait rarement pertinent pour les aciers bas carbone et peu calmés. Le travail a consisté d'une part à caractériser le comportement et d'autre part à en proposer une modélisation robuste et explicite des phénomènes observés. La caractérisation a consisté en la réalisation d'essais de traction entre -150°C et 20°C à plusieurs vitesses de déformation. Un modèle capable de simuler le vieillissement statique est identifié en mettant en place une stratégie adéquate et systématique. Des essais de résilience permettent de construire la courbe de transition ductile-fragile du matériau pour différentes conditions afin de comprendre et d'observer l'influence du vieillissement statique sur la rupture. Enfin, la modélisation de la rupture fragile a été décrite pour toutes les conditions expérimentales testées en utilisant le modèle de comportement développé et identifié dans la partie précédente afin de prédire numériquement la transition pour les différentes conditions du matériau. / Ferritic steels for industrial structures have a brittle-ductile transition toughness and impact energy with temperature. Their resistance to the brittle fracture plays an essential role in the safety certification of industrial structures. Nowadays, the performance and the durability are key issues for major players such as EDF. In these approaches ductile-to-brittle transition toughness and impact energy, toughness is predicted from resilience. Several previous studies have shown that the probability of cleavage fracture can be adequately described in brittle plateau by a local approach to fracture. However, these studies assume that the material does not undergo strain aging, which is rarely relevant for low carbon steels and low calmed down. The work consisted firstly to characterize the behavior and secondly to propose a robust and explicit modeling of the observed phenomena. Characterization consisted of performing tensile tests between -150degreC~and 20degreC for several strain rates. A model able to simulate the static aging is identified by implementing an appropriate and systematic strategy. Impact resistance test allows us to build the curve of ductile-to-brittle transition of the material for different conditions to understand and observe the influence of static strain aging on the failure. Finally, the modeling of the brittle fracture has been described for all experimental conditions tested using the model developed and identified in the previous section to predict the transition for different material conditions.

Mechanics of Drilling in Porous Brittle SolidsYadav, Shwetabh January 2016 (has links) (PDF)
This thesis presents a detailed experimental programme on understanding the mechanics of drilling in porous brittle solids. Gypsum was used as a model material for this experimental study, in which the mechanics of drilling was decoupled into equivalent problems of indentation and cutting. A comprehensive understanding of the mechanics of indentation and cutting was gained by performing experiments in 2-D conditions. A camera and microscope assembly was used to capture images at high temporal and spatial resolution to measure the in situ deformation. Particle image velocimetry (PIV) algorithm was used to measure the deformation parameters such as velocity, strain-rate, strain and volume change. In the last part of this research, drilling experiments were performed in 3-D conditions and an attempt was made for understanding the mechanics of drilling by relating the drilling experiment results to that of indentation and cutting.
A series of wedge indentation experiments were performed under 2-D plane-strain conditions. Development of a parabolic zone of deformation, surrounding the indenter, was observed, wherein this size of the deformation zone and the strain accumulation in the deformation zone was a function of the geometry of the indenter. The maximum effective strain decreased and the overall strain field was more diffuse with increase in the wedge angle. Significant volume change was also observed in this deformation zone and the amount of volume change increased with increase in the porosity of the material. The zones of high volume change (compaction bands) were stacked in the form of layers oriented perpendicular to the direction of indentation. These compaction bands were more localized for the case of lower angles of wedge indenter. The extent of the compaction bands was also a function of porosity and spread over a larger area for the case of low porosity samples. A change in the material response was also observed with change in porosity and geometry of the indenter. The appearance of the crack was delayed with increase in porosity and reduction of wedge angle. The experimental results were also used to validate an analytical cavity expansion model. A better prediction of indentation pressure and the size of the deformation zone was possible after volume change corrections were incorporated into the cavity expansion formulation.
A series of orthogonal cutting experiments were performed in 2-D plane-strain conditions. The e ect of tool geometry and the depth of cut on the mechanics of cutting was studied with the help of image based measurements and cutting force signatures. Different types of cutting mechanisms were observed for the case of positive and negative rake angle tool. A cyclic increase and decrease in the cutting force was observed in case of positive rake angle cutting tool. The decrease in the cutting force corresponded to the initiation of crack from the tip of the tool. The crack traversed towards the surface of the material and resulted in the removal of a material chip. With progress of cutting, the tool scratched the material surface, giving rise to the gradual increase in the cutting force as it again reached local maxima when the tool completely re-engaged with the material. For the case of negative rake angle, apart from cyclic increase and decrease of the cutting force, there was a development of a triangular dead zone at the tip of the cutting tool. The size of the dead zone varied cyclically with the progress of cutting. The length of crack, which resulted in the removal of the chip from the material, was found to be a function of the rake angle and the depth of cut.
Drilling experiments were performed on gypsum samples in 3-D conditions. Two types of twist drills with different helix angles were used for this research work. Experiments were performed on the samples with two different porosities. Thrust force and torque signatures were recorded for five values of depth of cut per revolution. Since these experiments were performed in 3-D, image analysis was not performed. However, in order to ascertain a qualitative understanding of the drilling process, few experiments were performed on the edge of the material surface so that a cylindrical groove with semicircular cross section is made and the exposed surface of the material and the drill were imaged. The normalized thrust force and normalized torque were compared with indentation pressure and cutting force signatures and remarkable similarities between them was found. A transition from ductile to brittle type of response was observed with increase in the depth of cut per revolution, which was similar to what was observed in case of indentation. The magnitude of torque was found to be higher for high helix angle drills, which was counter to what was observed in cutting, which was due to the deposition of the material in helix for high helix angle drills, resulting in the reduction of the effective helix angle. An approximate estimate of the effective helix angle was made with the help of analytical solutions as well as from the qualitative analysis of the images.

Acoustic velocity structure of the carboneras fault zone, SE SpainTaylor, Rochelle Louise January 2013 (has links)
The Carboneras fault zone (CFZ, Almería Province, SE Spain) is a major NE-SW trending tectonic lineament that marks part of the diffuse plate boundary between Iberia and Africa. Developed within a basement terrain dominated by mica schist, the fault system comprises two main strands within a complex zone up to 1 km wide. Between these two strands is a braided network of left-lateral strike-slip, phyllosilicate-rich fault gouge bands, ranging between 1 and 20 m in thickness, passively exhumed from up to 3 km depth. The excellent exposure in a semi-arid environment, the wide range of rock types and fault structures represented and the practicality of carrying out in-situ geophysical studies makes this fault zone particularly well suited to verifying and interpreting the results of in-situ seismic investigations. Integration of elements of field study, laboratory analysis and modelling has aided interpretation of the internal structure of the fault zone. Ultrasonic measurements were made using standard equipment over confining and pore pressure ranges appropriate to the upper 10 km of the continental crust. Seismic velocities have also been approximated from modal analysis and mineral phase elastic properties and adjusted for the effects of porosity. In-situ seismic investigations recorded P-wave velocities 40-60% lower than those measured in the laboratory under corresponding pressures and at ambient temperatures for hard rock samples. Fault gouge velocities measured in the laboratory, however, are comparable to those measured in the field because, unlike the host rocks, fault gouges are only pervasively micro-fractured and lack the populations of long cracks (larger than the sample size) that cause slowing of the velocities measured in the field. By modelling the effect of fractures on seismic velocity (by superimposing upon the laboratory seismic data the effects of crack damage) the gap between field- and laboratory-scale seismic investigations has been bridged. Densities of macroscopic cracks were assessed by measuring outcrop lengths on planar rock exposures. Assuming crack length follows a power law relation to frequency, this fixes a portion of the power spectrum, which is then extrapolated to cover the likely full range of crack sizes. The equations of Budiansky and O'Connell (1976), linking crack density to elastic moduli, were used to calculate modified acoustic velocities, and the effects of the wide range of crack sizes were incorporated by breaking the distribution down into small sub-populations of limited range of crack density. Finally, the effect of overburden pressure causing progressively smaller cracks to close was incorporated to predict velocity versus depth of burial (i.e. pressure). Determination of rock physical properties from laboratory analysis and sections constructed from geological mapping provides a representation of velocity from selected parts of the Carboneras fault zone. First break tomography images show particularly well the location of steeply-inclined fault cores, and these correlate generally well with geological mapping and laboratory velocity measurements corrected for the effect of cracks. The decoration of the fault zone with intrusive igneous material is well correlated with the results of geological observations. Comparisons made between the field (seismic) inversion model and laboratory forward velocity model in El Saltador valley show the laboratory and field velocity measurements made within the fault zone can be reconciled by accounting for the effects of crack damage in field data.

Gráben Ribeirão das Lajes, RJ : evolução estrutural cenozoica e morfotectônica /Real, Sílvia January 2019 (has links)
Orientador: George Luiz Luvizotto / Resumo: O Gráben Ribeirão das Lajes (GRL) foi mapeado no limite entre as escarpas da Serra do Mar e o Gráben da Guanabara, no estado do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. O presente estudo buscou caracterizar a configuração e evolução tectônica cenozoica do GRL a partir de métodos que integram procedimentos em laboratório e trabalhos de campo, envolvendo Geologia Estrutural e Geomorfologia Tectônica. Esta bacia tipo gráben encontra-se encaixada na estrutura pretérita NE-SW do embasamento pré-cambriano, composto de gnaisse bandado milonítico da Unidade Arcádia-Areal, juntamente com ortognaisses e granitoides do Arco Magmático Rio Negro. Essas rochas estão intrudidas por diques de diabásio cretáceos de direção NE-SW. O registro sedimentar está associado, principalmente, aos depósitos aluvionares e coluvionares, que se estendem por 20 km de comprimento por 9 km de largura, expostos de maneira irregular e separados por altos intrabacinais. As características da rede de drenagem e do relevo da área, somados aos inúmeros e persistentes lineamentos, mostram, em conjunto com os dados levantados em campo, que os traços principais se associam às fraturas. O GRL é uma estrutura alongada e estreita delimitada por falhas NE-SW, em ambas as bordas, e compartimentada fundamentalmente por fraturas de direção NW-SE e E-W. O primeiro evento de formação do GRL se relaciona com as falhas normais NE-SW do embasamento, equivalente ao processo de geração das bacias do Sistema de Riftes Cenozoicos do Sudeste do Brasil... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo) / Abstract: Ribeirão das Lajes Graben (RLG) was mapped at the boundary between Serra do Mar escarpments and Guanabara Graben, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The present study aimed to characterize the Cenozoic tectonic evolution and shape of RLG from methods which incorporate procedures in laboratory and field work, involving structural geology and tectonics geomorphology. This basin was developed on thrust-sheared precambrian NE-SW substrate, consisting of banded milonytic gneisses from the Arcadia-Areal Unit, along with orthognaisses and granitoids from the Rio Negro Magmatic Arc. These rocks are intruded by cretaceous diabase dikes with NE-SW direction. The sedimentary record is mainly associated with alluvial and colluvial deposits, extending 20 km long and 9 km wide, irregularly exposed and separated by intrabacinal highs. The drainage network and relief characteristics, added to the numerous and persistent lineaments, even along with the data collected in the field, demonstrate that the main features are associated to fractures. This elongated and narrow graben is delimited by NE-SW faults at both edges, in addition to NW-SE and E-W fractures which compartmentalize it. The RLG was formed due to recognized NE-SW normal faults, event related to Cenozoic Rift System of Southeastern Brazil generation process. NE-SW structures are expressive in the fluvial system, morphotectonic pattern and preferential erosion and sedimentation zones. In a local scale, field-recognized high-an...

Analytical Description of Brittle-to-Ductile Transition in bcc Metals. Nucleation of dislocation loop at the crack tipVoskoboinikov, Roman E. January 2002 (has links)
Nucleation of dislocation loop at the crack tip in a material subjected to uniaxial loading is investigated. Analytical expression for the total energy of rectangular dislocation loop at the crack tip is found. Depencence of the nucleation energy barrier on dislocation loop shape and stress intensity factor at the crack tip is determined. It is established that the energetic barrier for nucleation of dislocation loop strongly depends on the stress intensity factor. Nucleation of dislocation loop is very sensitive to stress field modifiers (forest dislocations, precipitates, clusters of point defects, etc.) in the crack tip vicinity.
