The areas of analog circuit fault simulation and test generation have not witnessed the same degree of success as their digital counterparts. This is due mainly fo the complexity of analog behavior and the lack of a fault model. We present a new Jicnctional fault modeling technique called the perturbation fault model. The perturbation fault model is based on an estimation of the distance betwee...

Seismic modeling aids the geophysicists to have a better understanding of the subsurface image before the seismic acquisition, processing, and interpretation. In this regard, seismic survey modeling is employed to make a model close to the real structure and to obtain very realistic synthetic seismic data. The objective of this study is to analyze the resolution and illumination of the fault by...

background: the salvage proximal femoral osteotomy is performed in mild or moderate osteoarthritis when the articulating surfaces are normal and relieves the subject’s pain. because the importance of angular mal-alignment of the femur bone at the hip junction accurate pre-op planning based on patient specific anatomy is required to prevent any lower limb misalignment and joint problem pre-opera...

fault tolerance is one of the important issues in industries, such as transportation, military, chemical and nuclear sectors. reliability and safety are two vital attributes of fault tolerant systems, and redundancy is a common way to improve these parameters. this article studies the impact of including cold standby spares in system architecture. to do this, it uses the markov model of the sys...

Different aspects of modeling faults in dynamic systems are considered in connection with reliable control (RC). The fault models include models with additive faults, multiplicative faults and structural changes in the models due to faults in the systems. These descriptions are considered in connection with reliable control and feedback control with fault rejection. The main emphasis is on faul...

We present the initial results of rapid fault estimations for the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake on April 16 (Mj 7.3), and coseismic displacements caused by the two large foreshocks that occurred on April 14 (Mj 6.5) and April 15 (Mj 6.4) from the GEONET real-time analysis system (REGARD), which is based on a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) kinematic positioning technique. The real-time fin...

Disk Type Variable Reluctance (DTVR) resolvers have distinguished performance under run out fault comparing to conventional sinusoidal rotor resolvers. However, their accuracy under inclined rotor fault along with different types of eccentricities includes static and dynamic eccentricities are questioned. Furthermore, due to thin copper wires that are used for signal and excitation coils of res...

This paper presents novel implementation of forward and inverse methods for locating faults in the shields of coaxial cable and other shielded lines. In accomplishing these tasks, direct and probabilistic inversion methods are used to estimate fault and wire parameters. Some numerical finite-difference techniques are capable of modeling the characteristic impedance of a chafe one frequency at a...

This paper introduces a formal architecture for onboard diagnosis, prognosis and recovery called ARPHA. ARPHA is designed as part of the ESA/ESTEC study called VERIFIM (Verification of Failure Impact by Model checking). The goal is to allow the design of an innovative on-board FDIR (Fault Detection, Identification and Recovery) process for autonomous systems, able to deal with uncertain system/...

The E-method for the automatic generation of tests for graphical user interfaces (GUIs) is based on Event Sequence Graph (ESG)model of the expected GUI behavior. The W-method and its variants like the Wp method, are based on Finite State Machines (FSM) and can also be used for the same purpose. We show that tests generated using the Eand the W-methods have the same fault detection effectiveness...
