【摘要】 离散元模拟是一种新的动力学模拟方法,它可以提供模型内部肉眼不能辨别的微小形变信息,生动的给出构造形变的几何特征与动力学过程,是我们深入了解地质构造形成演化历史、理解岩石变形机制、准确解译地震数据的良好方法。本文基于离散元理论构建模型,用C++和Java语言编写程序加以实现,模拟挤压条件下盐上褶皱和推覆带构造的形成、演化过程,通过四组对比实验的比较分析,详细研究了岩性强弱和推覆速度对盐相关挤压构造演化的控制作用。研究结果表明:1)沿积压方向,断层的年龄由老到新,约靠近推覆前端的断层越新。在挤压形变过程中,一旦有新的主要断层形成,之前的老断层即停止活动;2)脆性地层发育较多的断层,主断层贯穿整个地层,韧性地层中断层数量较少,断层位移小,只切断部分地层;3)脆性地层形变过程中地层厚度基本不变,显示地层内部应变较小,韧性地层的厚度有明显变化,显示地层内部应变较强;4)在岩性相似的条件下,挤压速率慢的系统断层发育较多,并且形变传播较远。更多还原

【Abstract】 The discrete-element modeling is a new dynamic modeling method in structural geology and geophysics research.It can provide detailed deformation which can hardly be observed,and it can also demonstrate the evolution progress of the deformation.It is an efficient method to further understand the evolution history of structures and the rock deformation mechanisms,and helps geologists and geophysicists to better interpret the seismic data.Based on the discrete element model,the authors wrote a program with C++and Java language and ran the program to simulate the initiation and the evolution of fault system in the salt related structures in a compressive setting.Four experiments were performed to study the influence of rock strength and shortening rate on the geometry and kinematics of salt related structures.更多还原
