The geodynamics and plate tectonics of the South China Sea (SCS)-Taiwan region since Miocene times are uncertain because former extent tectonic configuration subducted easternmost SCS along Manila trench is uncertain. Here we unravel regional kinematic context from main offshore constraints including published unfolding slab seismic tomography, which provides insight on restoring part SCS. We r...

Series arc fault (SAF) has severe impacts on the safety of dc power supply systems. Timely and accurate SAF detection under different operating conditions is an open challenging problem. To address this problem, article proposes integrated method for conditions. In proposed method, dual-tree complex wavelet transform (DT-CWT) employed to obtain current signal decomposition. The singular values ...

This paper presents an on-line fault inference, diagnosis ,and detection strategy for large-scale event-driven controlled systems. First of all, the controlled plant is decomposed into some subsystems, and the global diagnosis is formulated using the Bayesian Network (BN), which represents the causal relationship between the fault and observation in subsystems. The graph structure of the BN is ...

In this paper we present an output feedback based Adaptive Robust Fault Tolerant Control (ARFTC) strategy to solve the problem of output tracking in presence of actuator failures, disturbances and modeling uncertainties for a class of nonlinear systems. The class of faults addressed here include stuck actuators, actuator loss of efficiency or a combination of the two. We assume no a priori info...

The Nayband strike-slip fault forms the western margin of the micro-continental Lut block in Eastern Iran. Neogene and Quaternary mafic volcanic rocks collected near Tabas, along the northern part of the fault (NNF; 15 Ma), and further to the south, along the middle part of the fault (MNF; 2 Ma), are within-plate sodic-series alkali olivine basalts with high TiO2 and up to >16% normative nephel...

Cerro Domuyo, in northwestern Neuquén province of Argentina, shows notable geothermal activity, although it is located at a considerable distance from the actual volcanic arc. Many studies have been developed this area with aim investigating its field. Despite these efforts, characterization dynamic activity still poorly known. This work results network seismological stations, which registered ...

We discussed the peculiarities of seismic cycle in Aleutian subduction zone, characterized by an oblique setting. It was shown that orientation plate convergence vector relative to zone axis can have a significant impact on preparation and occurrence largest earthquakes zones. In particular, from analysis activity occurring western part island arc, it found cycles here are shorter than eastern ...

In this report an actuator fault-tolerant control (FTC) strategy based on set separation is presented. The proposed scheme employs a bank of observers which match the different fault situations that can occur in the plant. Each of these observers has an associated estimation error with a distinctive behaviour when a estimator matches the current fault situation of the plant. With this informati...
