The main objective of this study is estimating acceleration time history of 16 September 1978 Tabas earthquake incorporating the seismological/geological source-path and site model parameters by using finite-fault simulation approach. The method generalizes the stochastic ground-motion simulation technique, developed for point sources, to the case of finite faults. It subdivides the fault plane...

Symmetrical nature of mean of electrical signals during normal operating conditions is used in the fault detection task for dependable, robust, and simple fault detector implementation is presented in this work. Every fourth cycle of the instantaneous current signal, the mean is computed and carried into the next cycle to discover nonlinearities in the signal. A fault detection task is complete...

this paper presents the application of radial basis neural networks to the development of a novel method for the condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of synchronous generators. in the proposed scheme, flux linkage analysis is used to reach a decision. probabilistic neural network (pnn) and discrete wavelet transform (dwt) are used in design of fault diagnosis system. pnn as main part of thi...

as technology scales deep into the nanometer regime, on-chip communication becomes more susceptible to transient noise sources, such as crosstalk, external radiation, and spurious voltage spikes. the network on chip s modularity and reusability has brought about the use of error control methods to address transient errors in network on chip links.in this work, we design a fault tolerance router...

Recently, there has been interest in developing a dependability benchmarks for computer systems. This will require a way to inject several different types of faults into many different platforms and a way to collect and compare the results. Analyzing complex heterogeneous distributed systems share the same needs. The current approach to building fault injection tool is inappropriate for these g...

Kuhbanan fault system, as one of the intracontinental faults of central Iran, is recognized by considerable seismogenic activities and modern morphotectonics evidences with a strike-slip (reverse component) motion. According to the geometric and kinematics data, Kuhbanan fault has been divided into 5 segments (S26, S27, S28, S29, S30) in Bahabad region. Measured geomorphic indices of ratio of v...

Current inversion condition leads to incorrect operation of current based directional relay in power system with series compensated device. Application of the intelligent system for fault direction classification has been suggested in this paper. A new current directional protection scheme based on intelligent classifier is proposed for the series compensated line. The proposed classifier uses ...

This paper deals with the application of artificial neural networks (ANNs) to fault detection and location in extra high voltage (EHV) transmission lines for high speed protection using terminal line data. The proposed neural fault detector and locator were trained using various sets of data available from a selected power network model and simulating different fault scenarios (fault types, fau...

The areas of analog circuit fault simulation and test generation have not witnessed the same degree of success as their digital counterparts. This is due mainly fo the complexity of analog behavior and the lack of a fault model. We present a new Jicnctional fault modeling technique called the perturbation fault model. The perturbation fault model is based on an estimation of the distance betwee...

Fault tolerant circuits are currently required in several major application sectors. Besides and in complement to other possible approaches such as proving or analytical modeling whose applicability and accuracy are significantly restricted in the case of complex fault tolerant systems, fault-injection has been recognized to be particularly attractive and valuable. Fault injection provides a me...
