The effect of near-fault ground displacement is a significant factor when structures straddle a fault, because the fault produces both static step-like deformations and dynamic pulse-like ground motions. It has been observed that the static displacements measured up to 10 m and strong ground motion velocity pulses exceed 100 cm/s. As there is no concrete method for the seismic design of near-fa...

We present various techniques to visualize timevarying, 3D earthquake modeling datasets. We use RIVA (Remote Interactive Visualization and Analysis) to visualize the surface deformation as a synthetic interferogram overlaid on top of a high resolution LandSAT image and digital terrain. We use ParVox (PARallel VOXel Renderer) to visualize the simulated normal stress and shear stress along the No...

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 ...

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...

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...
