For synchronous 3 phase electrical generator machine design, the ability to predict the subtransient reactance of a particular machine design is of prime importance. The subtransient reactance has a significant impact on the magnitude of the fault currents generated within the machine during an event such as a 3 phase short-circuit. Power system designers routinely use the generator subtransien...

The internal structure and petrophysical property distribution of fault zones are commonly exceedingly complex compared to the surrounding host rock from which they are derived. This in turn produces highly complex fluid flow patterns which affect petroleum migration and trapping as well as reservoir behavior during production and injection. Detailed rendering and forecasting of fluid flow insi...

In this paper, we propose a new technique for Square Differential Fault Analysis (DFA) against AES that can recover a secret key even with a large number of noisy fault injections, while the previous approaches of the Square DFA cannot work with noise. This makes the attack more realistic because assuming the 100% accuracy of obtaining intended fault injections is usually impossible. Our succes...

Abstract Large, multi-fault earthquakes increase the threat of strong ground shaking and reshape probability future events across a system faults. Fault junctions act as conditional barriers, or earthquake gates, that stop most but permit junction-spanning when stress conditions are favorable. Constraining physical favor requires information on frequency isolated versus activate faults through ...

The Airy stress function for a long tensile fault of arbitrary dip and finite width buried in a homogeneous, isotropic, perfectly elastic half-space in welded contact with a homogeneous, orthotropic, perfectly elastic half-space are obtained. This Airy stress function is used to derive closed-form analytical expressions for the stresses at an arbitrary point of the half-space caused by along ve...

Software needs to be adequately tested in order to increase the confidence that the system being developed is reliable. However, testing is a complicated and expensive process. Formal specification based models such as finite state machines have been widely used in system modelling and testing. In this PhD thesis, we primarily investigate fault detection and identification when testing from fin...

two dimensional single frequency scalar vlf data modeling has been studied in this research. vlf method is one of the electromagnetic investigation methods. radio frequency waves are used for investigation of conductive deposits (paal, 1968). synthetic modeling and inversion of single frequency and multiple frequencies of vlf signals was done by oskooi (2004) for two dimensional simple structur...

Fault Tree Analysis is a very popular technique to assess safety and reliability of technical systems. However, being a combinatorial model, Fault Trees can only express which combinations of failures contribute to a certain hazard or accident. There is no means to model sequences of actions and temporal orders of states and events. Since today technical systems are often controlled by software...

An efficient method of parallel fault simulation for combinational circuits is proposed. The method is based on structurally synthesized BDDs (SSBDD) which allow to represent gate level circuits at higher macro level where macros represent subnetworks of gates. Converting the gate-level circuits to the macrolevel is accompanied with corresponding fault collapsing. A parallel fault analysis algo...
