abstract the study of natural disasters is one of the most important primary principles for the growth of developing cities and the development of infrastructures. to this end, evaluating geodynamic activities using morphological data is considered one of the most pivotal applied methods. in this study, it was tried to detect active faults in yazd province using desert studies and remote sensin...

the central alborz mountains of northern iran (figure 1) is a zone of intense active continental deformation and is the most heavily populated region of iran, including the mega-city of tehran with a population of over 10 million. the region is affected by numerous active faults, some of them having great seismic potential, and documented historical seismicity. hence, the central alborz is a pr...

The most enigmatic problems with the nearly 200 salt domes pierced in the Persian Gulf and in the Zagros Mountain Ranges (ZMR) in southern Iran, a unique morphology in the world, have been the matter of this study, which is based on a combination of field work, enhancement of satellite and aerial photographs etc. In the ZMR, structural anomalies are frequently associated with similar facies dis...

prompt detection and diagnosis of faults in industrial systems areessential to minimize the production losses, increase the safety of the operatorand the equipment. several techniques are available in the literature to achievethese objectives. this paper presents fuzzy based control and fault detection for a6/4 switched reluctance motor. the fuzzy logic control performs like a classicalproporti...

introduction two main principal aspects for the genesis of porphyry copper deposits have been determined. the first genetic model concerns the petrologic and geochemical processes and the other relates the genesis to crustal deformation and geodynamic conditions (kesler, 1997). recent studies (e.g., padilla garza et al., 2001) show that the generation and emplacement of porphyry copper deposits...

Due to the important role of the boiler-turbine units in industries and electricity generation, it is important to diagnose different types of faults in different parts of boiler-turbine system. Different parts of a boiler-turbine system like the sensor or actuator or plant can be affected by various types of faults. In this paper, the effects of the occurrence of faults on the actuators are in...

Finite strain and vorticity analyses were carried out in the deformed conglomerate and micro-conglomerate of Goushti shear zone in the Sanandaj-Sirjan metamorphic belt (Zagros Mountains Iran). These deformed rocks are bounded between two NE and SW major thrust faults. Finite strain measurements on three principal planes of strain ellipsoid show the higher amounts of strain ratios near the major...

introduction iran forms a relatively compact zone of active continental deformation resulted from the northward collision of arabia with eurasia during late cenozoic times, which is continuing to the present-day at a rate of 25 mm/yrs (from gps data). evidences of active tectonic in different parts of iran, has been studied and identified. the arid climate, low rates of erosion, and minimal veg...
