In the two-dimensional discrete element modeling of displacement of sedimentary layers caused by faulting within the basement, we attempted to move a rigid basement as if it were an elastic basement by controlling its motion through application of dislocation solutions. An advantage of our modeling procedure is that we can discuss displacement fields of sedimentary layers in connection with fau...

A pair of significant earthquakes occurred on conjugate faults in the western Imperial Valley involving the through-going Superstition Hills fault and the Elmore Ranch cross fault. The first event was located on the Elmore Ranch fault, Ms = 6.2, and the larger event on the Superstition Hills fault, Ms = 6.6. The latter event is seen as a doublet teleseismically with the amplitudes in the ratio ...

Current studies of fault interaction lack sufficiently long earthquake records and measurements of fault slip rates over multiple seismic cycles to fully investigate the effects of interseismic loading and coseismic stress changes on the surrounding fault network. We model elastic interactions between 97 faults from 30 earthquakes since 1349 A.D. in central Italy to investigate the relative imp...

DGA (Dissolved Gas Analysis) is the traditional transformer fault diagnosis method, but it mainly depends on the experience of operators. In order to solve the limitations of traditional method, this paper introduces intelligent method for fault diagnosis of transformer. The intelligent method made fusion of various data, including SCADA data, oil dissolved gas sensor data, related electrical t...

In this paper, we show how artificial evolution can be used to improve the fault-tolerance of electronic circuits. We show that evolution is able to improve the fault tolerance of a digital circuit, given a known fault model. Evolution is also able to create sets of different circuits that, when combined into an ensemble of circuits, have reduced correlation in their fault pattern, and therefor...

Abstract — A diagnostic automatic test pattern generation (DATPG) system is constructed by adding new algorithmic capabilities to conventional ATPG and fault simulation programs. The system generates tests to distinguish between fault pairs through different output responses. Given a fault pair, by modifying circuit netlist a new single fault is modeled and targeted for detection by a conventio...

The real-time fault diagnosis system is very great important for steam turbine generator set due to a serious fault results in a reduced amount of electricity supply in power plant. A novel real-time fault diagnosis system is proposed by using strata hierarchical fuzzy CMAC neural network. A framework of the fault diagnosis system is described. Hierarchical fault diagnostic structure is discuss...

Quantum error correction and fault-tolerant quantum computation are two fundamental concepts which make quantum computing feasible. While providing a theoretical means with which to ensure the arbitrary accuracy of any quantum circuit, fault-tolerant error correction is predicated upon the robust preparation of logical states. An optimal direct circuit and a more complex fault-tolerant circuit ...

This paper proposes a novel ultra-high-speed directional relay using the wavelet transform. Two relay signals indicating traveling direction are composed of fault-induced voltage and current waves propagating along EHV/UHV transmission lines. Wavelet transform technique is employed to extract transient components from the relaying signals, and represent the transient component magnitude with wa...
