In diagnostic testing faults detectable by test vectors are partitioned into groups. This partitioning is such that a fault is distinguishable from faults in all other groups, but is indistinguishable from those in its own group. Diagnostic fault coverage (DC) is defined as the number of fault groups divided by the total number of faults. We present a new diagnostic fault simulation algorithm t...

Teed lines are widely used in rural power networks in China. The paper theoretically analyzes the voltages and currents when a single line-to-ground fault occurs, constructs a new mathematical model for fault location on the teed lines, performs corresponding MATLAB simulations. Simulation results show that currents near the source (bus M) are almost independent of fault positions and fault res...

Context: Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) is a widely recognized executable service composition language, which is significantly different from typical programming languages in both syntax and semantics, and especially shorter in program scale. How to effectively locate faults in BPEL programs is an open and challenging problem. Objective: In this paper, we propose a fault localizatio...

We investigate the spatial pattern of surface creep and off-fault deformation along the southern segment of the San Andreas Fault using a combination of multiple interferometric synthetic aperture radar viewing geometries and survey-mode GPS occupations of a dense array crossing the fault. Radar observations from Envisat during the period 2003–2010 were used to separate the pattern of horizonta...

Process groups are a common abstraction for fault-tolerant computing in distributed systems. We present a security architecture that extends.Abstract Concerns about both security and fault-tolerance have had an important. Tion of fault tolerance will face some of the same problems, and benefit from. The security testing prototype is.A Secure and Fault-tolerant framework for Mobile. Of Computer ...

This paper presents an improved algorithm for fault detection and classification of transmission line fault current signals using MATLAB/SIMULINK. The proposed algorithm presents a fault discrimination method based on the three-phase current and voltage waveforms measured when fault events occur in the power transmission-line network. The algorithm for fault classification employs wavelet multi...

To achieve fully autonomous systems, fault tolerance is often employed. Fault tolerance is the ability to continue operation in the presence of faults. Fault diagnosis is an essential component of fault tolerance, especially for autonomous robotics. It is the process of determining as much information as possible about the fault, especially the origin of the fault. However, a real time fault di...

in this paper, the fuzzy system has been used for fault detection and diagnosis of a yeast fermentation bioreactor based on measurements corrupted by noise. in one case, parameters of membership functions are selected in a conventional manner. in another case, using certainty factors between normal and faulty conditions the optimal values of these parameters have been obtained through the genet...

near-fault ground motions with long-period pulses can place severe demands on structures near an active fault. these pulse-type ground motions can be represented by pulse sequences with simple shapes. half-sinusoidal pulse sequences are used to approximate recorded ground motions and dynamic responses of sdof system under the excitation of these pulse sequences are studied. four cases are consi...

in this paper, the behaviour of buried pipelines under the effect of propagation of seismic waves and faulting is studied seperately. the stability of this type of structure was first studied by using three different methods proposed by newmark-hall, kenndey et al. and wang - yeh under the effect of ground faulting. by parametric study, the effect of soil types, size of pipeline, depth of embed...
