Description

[0002] Strike-slip faults are the main carriers of global seismic activity, and their cascading ruptures can trigger strong earthquakes and even supershear ruptures.

[0003] In fact, earthquake activity is often accompanied by stress adjustments and changes. During cascading ruptures, the dynamic evolution of the local stress field within the fault is the key driving force that triggers the instability of adjacent segments. Therefore, elucidating the distribution and adjustment of local stress within the fault is of great significance for understanding the dynamic processes of the Earth's surface and assessing seismic hazard.

[0096] The optical fiber cable 1 is pre-buried inside the model at both sides of the locking section and creep end and is connected to the external optical fiber displacement sensor 2. The relative slip velocity of the model cascade rupture can be obtained through the optical fiber data.

[0097] The axial pressure plate 4 is secured by a reaction bracket 16 and reaction bracket bolts 3. The reaction bracket bolts 3 securely connect the axial pressure plate 4 and the axial reaction plate 13 at either end of the reaction bracket 16, achieving stability. The axial pressure plate 4 is equipped with an axial press 5, which passes through the axial pressure plate 4 and is secured by a flange 5-1. The other end of the flange 5-1 is an axial roller row 6, which reduces friction at the axial end and moves in response to the application of lateral pressure.

[0103] The assembly of this device includes the following steps:

[0104] Step 1: Frame assembly and arrangement of axial compression system;

[0105] Install the axial compression system and reaction support.

[0106] Place the axial pressure plate 4 and the axial reaction plate 13 at the reference point. Insert the reaction bracket 16 through the bolt holes in the axial pressure plate 4 and the axial reaction plate 13 and secure it to the experimental platform, ensuring it is firmly connected to the ground. Install the reaction bracket bolts 3 at both ends of the reaction bracket 16 to secure the axial pressure plate 4 and the axial reaction plate 13. Secure the axial press 5 to the outside of the axial pressure plate 4 via the flange 5-1, ensuring that the press axis is aligned with the center of the model. Connect the axial roller array 6 to the axial press 5 via the flange 5-1 and secure it to the inside of the axial pressure plate 4. Ensure that the roller array surface is flat and can be calibrated with a spirit level.

[0107] Step 2: Arrange the side pressure compression system;

[0108] Connect the lateral pressure transmission pipe 7 of the axial press 5 and check whether the oil pressure transmission is sealed and leak-free. Connect it to the reaction bracket 16 through the lateral pressure plate holder 9; install the lateral pressure jack 11 on the lateral pressure plate 10 and connect it to the lateral pressure press 8 through the lateral pressure transmission pipe 7. After connection, add oil pressure to the axial press 5 and transmit it to the lateral pressure press 8 through the lateral pressure transmission pipe 7. When applying pressure, the axial press 5 applies axial pressure at the same time through oil pressure, and the lateral pressure press 8 applies lateral pressure through the oil pressure of the lateral pressure transmission pipe 7. The oil pressures of the two are connected through the lateral pressure transmission pipe 7, but the power source comes from two presses. Then fix the lateral pressure double-row roller row on the lateral pressure jack, and then install the lateral pressure reaction rod 15 on the opposite lateral reaction bracket 16, and install the lateral pressure reaction device on the lateral pressure reaction rod 15 to fix the lateral pressure reaction plate 14. Finally, ensure that they are on the same horizontal plane and aligned.

[0109] Step 3: Install the bottom roller row 17 at the bottom of the model and adjust the roller direction to be consistent with the strike-slip fault simulation direction to reduce friction interference.

[0110] Step 4: Set up a testing organization;

[0111] Install the fiber optic displacement sensor and acoustic emission probe.

[0112] After securing them, connect the fiber optic displacement sensor 2 to the fiber optic cable 1. Place acoustic emission probes 20 on the surface and sides of the model, with a minimal spacing between them. Place them evenly between the locking and creeping sections of the model surface. Connect the power and data cables to collect data.

[0113] Step 5: Connect the transmission pipelines of the axial compression system and the lateral compression system;

[0114] Hydraulic line connections.

[0115] Connect one end of the lateral pressure transmission pipe 7 to the oil pressure output port of the axial press 5, and the other end to the lateral pressure press 8; check the hydraulic pipeline of the lateral pressure jack 11 to ensure that there are no bubbles and leakage.

[0116] Step 6: Connect the detection mechanism to the data acquisition unit;

[0117] Connect the signal lines of the optical fiber displacement sensor 2 and the acoustic emission probe 20 to the data acquisition unit; set the data sampling frequency.

[0118] Step 7: System calibration;

[0119] Start the axial press 5 and the lateral press 8, gradually increasing pressure to 20 MPa. Observe the pressure gauge readings for stability. Check that the rollers are moving smoothly and without any binding. Perform a zero-point calibration on the dynamic stress sensor to ensure data accuracy. Test the acoustic emission probe 20 by tapping the model surface to verify signal response time and positioning accuracy.

[0120] The preparation and installation of the model includes the following steps:

[0121] Step 1: Model preparation and installation

[0122] The model is made of natural fault rock or similar materials such as river sand: gypsum: cement: barite powder: water = 54.64%: 8.2%: 5.5%: 13.66%: 18%. To prevent the model from hardening, a retarder of 0.016% of the total mass of the model is added during molding to prepare a multi-section fracture model. The recommended model size is 2m × 0.8m × 0.6m in length × width × height to ensure compatibility with the experimental system.

[0123] Step 2: Lay out the fiber optic cables

[0124] An optical fiber cable 1 is pre-buried inside the model, and a dynamic stress sensor is embedded. The sensor wire is led out along the side of the model to avoid interfering with the movement of the roller row; the sensor mounting hole is sealed with glue to ensure consistency with the mechanical properties of the model.

[0125] Step 3: Fix the model

[0126] Place the model steadily on the bottom roller row 17, and adjust the position so that its center coincides with the axis of the axial press 5; clamp the model with the axial reaction plate 13 and the side pressure plate 10, and tighten the reaction bracket bolts 3 to ensure that the model is firmly fixed; check the contact between the side pressure double-row roller row 12 and the side of the model to ensure that there is no local stress concentration.

[0127] Precautions

[0128] During the installation process, avoid scratching the model surface to prevent rupture observation; regularly check the sealing of the hydraulic pipeline to prevent oil pressure leakage; perform at least three no-load test runs before the experiment to ensure system stability.

[0129] The specific implementation steps of this experiment are as follows:

[0130] Step 1: Select appropriate rock-like materials and prepare samples according to the proportions to simulate the mechanical properties of natural fault rocks. For example, river sand: gypsum: cement: barite powder: water = 54.64%: 8.2%: 5.5%: 13.66%: 18% is selected. To prevent the model from hardening too quickly, a retarder of 0.016% of the total mass of the model is added during molding.

[0131] Before casting the model, prefabricate locking and creeping sections using 10mm-thick cracked steel plates on the model's diagonal lines. For example, adopting a three-locking and four-creeping approach creates a weak link. A low-strength binder, such as gypsum powder, is then added with a mass ratio of 1:0.6 to water. When the model is halfway cast, 30mm cubic strain relief bricks (19) are placed on either side of the junction between the locking and creeping sections. This layer is then shaved. When the filler is almost at the top surface, optical fiber cables are placed on both sides of the locking and creeping sections. Casting is then continued to the top layer.

[0132] Step 2: After pouring, perform curing at a temperature of 25±2°C and a humidity of 50%±5% for 48 hours until the standard strength is reached. After that, demould and polish the surface of the model to ensure that there are no burrs on the contact surface with the roller row. Then proceed to the next test.

[0133] Step 3: Assemble and debug the system during the model maintenance process, and install the axial compression system. When installing the axial compression system, first fix the axial pressure plate 4 and the axial reaction plate 13 on the reference point, then pass the reaction bracket 16 through the reserved holes at the diagonal angles of the axial pressure plate 4 and the axial reaction plate 13 and tighten the reaction bracket bolts 3. Then, perform the same operation on the reaction bracket 16 at the other diagonal angle. After ensuring that the reaction bracket 16 is stable, position the axial press 5 and fix the axial press 5 to the outside of the axial pressure plate 4 through the flange 5-1. Ensure that the deviation between the axis of the axial press and the center of the model is less than 1mm.

[0134] Step 4: Install the lateral pressure compression system. First, fix the lateral pressure plate 10 to one side of the reaction bracket 16 through the lateral pressure plate fixture 9. Ensure the accuracy of the position of the lateral pressure plate 10 during installation. Then install the lateral pressure jack 11 at the fixed position of the lateral pressure plate 10. Then install the lateral pressure transmission pipe 7 between the axial press 7 and the lateral pressure press 8, so that the oil pressure in the axial press 5 can smoothly reach the lateral pressure press 8, and the lateral pressure press 8 can provide stable and effective lateral pressure for the lateral pressure jack 11. Finally, install the lateral pressure reaction rod 15 on the other side reaction bracket 16 of the lateral pressure plate 10, tighten the lateral pressure reaction device 18 on the lateral pressure reaction rod 15 and fix it. Then fix the lateral pressure reaction plate 14 through the lateral pressure reaction device 18, and ensure that the position of the lateral pressure reaction plate 14 is on the same horizontal line as the lateral pressure plate 10.

[0135] Step 5: Install the bottom roller array and optimize the roller array layout. The bottom roller array 17 uses 12 sets of rollers arranged in a 3×4 matrix with 10 cm spacing between the rollers to ensure uniform load distribution on the model. Test the rollers for integrity and measure sliding friction under no-load conditions.

[0136] Step 6: Install the axial and lateral pressure roller rows, use a laser level to adjust the flatness of the axial roller row 6 and the lateral pressure double-row roller row 12 and calibrate them, with an allowable error of ≤0.1mm / m.

[0137] Step 7: Place the prepared and cured model in the appropriate location, taking care to avoid bumps and bumps. Then, install the acoustic emission probes 20. After securing the model, install the probes 20 in the center holes of the locking and creeping sections of the double-row lateral pressure rollers 12 and the lateral pressure reaction plate 14. Arrange three probes 20 on the model surface, spaced 25 cm apart in a grid pattern, to cover all weak links. Place four probes 20 on each side of the model. Apply vaseline coupling agent to the contact surface between the probes and the model to ensure efficient sound wave transmission.

[0138] Step 8: Connect the strain sensor to the strain brick 19 to measure the mechanical evolution of the cascading failure during compression. Embed the fiber optic displacement sensor 2 to ensure the sensor's range and accuracy. The sensor wires are enclosed in a metal shielding tube to prevent electromagnetic interference and are routed through a reserved channel on the side of the model.

[0139] Step 9: Install the relative displacement sliding system; track the surface crack growth rate in real time during the compression process.

[0140] Step 10: The model was biaxially pressurized. First, the model was contacted using a lateral pressure hydraulic system. Then, axial pressure was applied and pressure was released at a rate of 0.01 mm / s to simulate the stress environment deep within the Earth's crust. Lateral pressure was released at a rate one-third the axial pressure. A low friction state of μ = 0.3 was maintained. Simultaneously, data was recorded to capture microfracture events. Initial fracture was detected by a sudden increase in acoustic emission events.

[0141] Step 11: During the experiment, converting the energy of the acoustic emission (AE) event into the equivalent Benioff strain (CBS) requires combining energy evolution theory with experimental parameter calibration. The relationship between AE event energy and elastic strain energy is shown in Equation 1, reflecting the relationship between the accumulation of elastic strain energy (Eelastic) and the presence of AE event energy (EAE).

[0142] The energy conversion model is:

[0143] E elastic =kE AE

[0144] Where k is the experimental calibration coefficient, which needs to be obtained by fitting the stress-strain curve and AE energy data measured simultaneously in the uniaxial loading test.

[0145] Calculation of Benioff strain, which is defined as the square root accumulation of elastic strain energy. Combined with AE data, the single-event Benioff strain can be obtained. The energy EAE of each AE event is square-root-converted to obtain the single-event equivalent Benioff strain. The cumulative Benioff strain CBS is shown in Equation 2.

[0146]

[0147] Where n is the total number of AE events, and the accumulation process needs to consider the division of time series or loading stages.

[0148] Experimental verification and parameter optimization involve dividing the energy evolution into stages and jointly verifying it with infrared radiation parameters. Based on the four stages of rock failure energy evolution—compaction, elasticity, elastoplasticity, and failure stage 1—the k value for each stage needs to be calibrated separately. For example, in the elastic stage, k ≈ 1, while in the elastoplastic stage, due to the increased dissipated energy, a correction factor is required. The reliability of the Benioff strain, such as the cubic polynomial relationship, is verified by combining the synchronous variation trends of the average cumulative radiant energy increment △ACRE and the CBS.

[0149] Using the above loading system, the axial pressure and confining pressure systems are first set to load synchronously to the set value. Then, the confining pressure is set to remain unchanged and the axial pressure loading path is set to load the model until it is destroyed. Then, the CBS data, local stress deflection angle, and relative movement rate of the two fracture plates after the elastic deformation stage and before the destruction stage are collected for Spearman correlation analysis to achieve cross-validation of each indicator, thereby establishing a three-indicator cascade fracture composite prediction system.

[0150] Step 12: Troubleshooting and System Maintenance Common Problems: Roller jam. Check the roller bearing lubrication and add high-temperature resistant grease regularly. Recalibrate the zero point of the sensor signal and check whether the wire shielding layer is damaged.

[0151] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and technical effects:

[0152] The patented invention provides a strike-slip fault cascade rupture simulation and prediction system based on a dual-slip mode. Through innovative dual-slip mode loading, multi-segment low-friction roller array design, and multi-source data fusion technology, it breaks through the technical bottleneck of existing systems in cascade rupture simulation and prediction, and achieves high-precision monitoring of the entire process of dynamic stress transfer, friction behavior switching, and rupture behavior prediction of multi-segment strike-slip fault structures, thereby constructing a composite criterion for simulation and prediction of cascade rupture based on the "movement rate of the two fault plates - local stress deflection angle - accumulated Benioff strain" model. Its technical effect not only promotes theoretical research in geomechanics, but also provides a new method for earthquake risk assessment and prediction of major projects, with significant scientific research and engineering application value.
