this paper presents the hardware simulation (based on vhdl code) of a multiple-fault tolerant cellular genetic algorithm. this study aims to increase the immunity of cellular genetic algorithm in multiple-fault situation. here, multiple-fault refers to the situation that seu (single event upset) occurs simultaneously at two or more bits of the chromosome and fitness registers. the fault model i...

due to limitations in computing resources of mobile nodes, mobile ad-hoc networks (manets) are very fault-prone. so far, redundancy at different levels of the network has been considered an efficient strategy to enhance the fault-tolerance of networks. indeed, ad-hoc networks are extremely redundant; therefore, natural redundancy to fault tolerance enhancement has a great impact on the network ...

This paper presents a new observer design methodology for a time varying actuator fault estimation. A new linear matrix inequality (LMI) design algorithm is developed to tackle the limitations (e.g. equality constraint and robustness problems) of the well known so called fast adaptive fault estimation observer (FAFE). The FAFE is capable of estimating a wide range of time-varying actuator fault...

Turn to turn fault is one of the major internal failures in the power transformers that if it is not quickly detected, can be extended and led to a complete transformer breakdown. So, the diagnosis and location of the turn to turn fault of the power transformer, as one of the most important equipment in the power system, is the main objective of this paper. For this purpose, a detailed model of...

Condition monitoring and protection methods based on the analysis of the machine's current are widely used according to non-invasive characteristics of current transformers. It should be noted that, these sensors are installed by default in the machine control center. On the other hand, condition monitoring based on mathematical methods has been proposed in literature. However, they are model b...

Introduction: Quaternary basalts are one of the last signs of magmatism in Iran, some of which are related to deep fractures and active faults in the Quaternary. Quaternary basalts of Tabas are very important due to their high expansion and location in eastern Iran, and are located 140 km south east of Tabas city and according to the proposed divisions are part of the Lut zone. The aim of this...

the paper presents a mathematical base modeling combined to modified-winding -function-approach (mwfa) for eccentricity fault detection of a round-rotor synchronous machine. for this aim, a 6-pole machine is considered, and the machine inductances are computed by mwfa in healthy and also under eccentricity fault. a numerical discrete-time method has been proposed to machine modeling in voltage-...

Quality control of textile products is an important stage in textile industries. To this end, the conventional method in fault detection is human inspection. In the present work, Wavelet transform was applied on images of simple circular knitted fabrics to diagnose five regular defects. The results showed that the method applied was accurate and fast in addition to being capable of determining ...
