According to the design procedure of fault self-diagnosis system and features of automatic transmission system, the list of relation and mapping between fault symptoms and fault causes are made in this paper. Applying the approach of fault self-diagnosis based on fuzzy neural network, fault diagnosis of the automatic transmission electronic control system is realized. The structure of fuzzy neu...

Stick-slip frictional instability is widely regarded as a viable mechanism for crustal earthquakes, particularly because of the way that it can be incorporated into the notion of earthquakes as episodic unstable slip events along preexisting zones or planes of weakness represented by faults in the Earth. In this thesis, detailed laboratory observations of stick-slip events generated on a simula...

This paper proposes a fault diagnosis methodology for a gear pump based on the ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) method and the Bayesian network. Essentially, the presented scheme is a multi-source information fusion based methodology. Compared with the conventional fault diagnosis with only EEMD, the proposed method is able to take advantage of all useful information besides sensor ...

in this paper a simple model of a three story building with inclined first-story columns has presented. the stories are supposed to be rigid and are connected to axially rigid mass less columns by elasto-plastic rotational springs and linear rotational dampers. the considered model is subjected to horizontal component of fault normal pulse with different magnitudes and the governed nonlinear di...

wireless sensor networks (wsns) consist of a large number of sensor nodes which are capable of sensing different environmental phenomena and sending the collected data to the base station or sink. since sensor nodes are made of cheap components and are deployed in remote and uncontrolled environments, they are prone to failure; thus, maintaining a network with its proper functions even when und...

studying active faults behavior for earthquake prediction and recognition is a concentrated subject in earth science. precise measurements of earthsurface deformation by geodetic observation provide a good reference for studying different geodynamic phenomena.  applying geodetic measurements in postseismic and interseismic intervals is an important tool for estimating strain accumulation and rh...

[1] We investigate seismicity near faults in the Southern California Earthquake Center Community Fault Model. We search for anomalously large events that might be signs of a characteristic earthquake distribution. We find that seismicity near major fault zones in Southern California is well modeled by a Gutenberg-Richter distribution, with no evidence of characteristic earthquakes within the re...

Scalable Distributed Data Structures (SDDS) can be applied for multicomputers. Multicomputers were developed as a response to market demand for scalable and dependable but not expensive systems. SDDS consists of two components dynamically spread across a multicomputer: records belonging to a file and a mechanism controlling record placement in the file. Methods of making records of the file mor...

This paper presents our research on devising a dependability assessment method for the upcoming OGSA 3.0 middleware using network level fault injection. We compare existing DCE middleware dependability testing research with the requirements of testing OGSA middleware and derive a new method and fault model. From this we have implemented an extendable fault injector framework and undertaken some...
