Designing programs that are less likely to hide faults
An important motivation for software testing is to increase con dence that the software no longer contains faults. In this paper we explain a technique for using fewer tests to gain an equivalent con dence in software. Our techniques complement random black box testing. To be able to use fewer tests and gain equivalent con dence, we must either (1) isolate and remove software characteristics th...
متن کامل3D seismic image processing for faults
Numerous methods have been proposed to automatically extract fault surfaces from 3D seismic images, and those surfaces are often represented by meshes of triangles or quadrilaterals. However, extraction of intersecting faults is still a difficult problem that is not well addressed. Moreover, mesh data structures are more complex than the arrays used to represent seismic images, and they are mor...
متن کاملMoving faults while unfaulting 3D seismic images
Unfaulting seismic images to correlate seismic reflectors across faults is helpful in seismic interpretation, and is useful for seismic horizon extraction. Methods for unfaulting typically assume that fault geometries need not change during unfaulting. However, for seismic images containing multiple faults and, especially, intersecting faults, this assumption often results in unnecessary distor...
متن کاملSeismic potential of weak, near-surface faults revealed at plate tectonic slip rates
The near-surface areas of major faults commonly contain weak, phyllosilicate minerals, which, based on laboratory friction measurements, are assumed to creep stably. However, it is now known that shallow faults can experience tens of meters of earthquake slip and also host slow and transient slip events. Laboratory experiments are generally performed at least two orders of magnitude faster than...
متن کاملCoupled seismic slip on adjacent oceanic transform faults
[1] In a four and a half hour period, more than 60 events in an earthquake swarm on the western boundary of the Easter microplate were detected by an array of ocean bottom seismometers. The larger events of the swarm were strikeslip earthquakes located on two transform faults separated by about 25 km. Slip on the faults was closely coupled, with activity alternating back and forth randomly betw...
