In this paper a new numerical algorithm for fault distance calculation and arcing fault recognition, based on one terminal data and derived in the time domain, is presented. The algorithm is derived for the case of most frequent single-phase line to ground fault. The faulted phase voltage is modelled as a serial connection of the fault resistance and the arc voltage. The fault distance and the ...

Abstract Fractures that form when fluid pressure ruptures the rock are referred to as fluid-driven fractures or hydrofractures. These include most dykes, inclined sheets and sills, but also many mineral veins joints, well human-made hydraulic fractures. While considerable field theoretical work has focused on geometry arrest of hydrofractures, how they select their propagation paths, particular...

This paper proposes a wide-area backup protection (WABP) method for transmission systems using sparse synchronized/unsynchronized PMU measurements. The is aimed at addressing practical challenges such as temporary loss of the time-synchronization signal (LTSS), coverage, and communication failures latencies. A linear computationally efficient formulation proposed to identify faulted line in nea...

aim: abnormal joint mobility is an important factor in movement dysfunction and physical disability. a general lack of descriptive details exists for measurements of hip rotation range of motion (rom). this study was designed to establish the influence of hip position on active and passive range of motion of the hip in external and internal rotation(ext & int rot). material & methods: ...

in this research, the influence of bolt preload on the fatigue strength of 2024-t3 aluminium alloy double lap bolted joints has been studied experimentally and numerically. to do so, three sets of the specimens were prepared and each of them subjected to tightening torque of 1,2.5 and 5 n-m and then fatigue tests were conducted under various cyclic axial load levels. in the numerical method, th...
