during past earthquakes, many instances of building damage as a result of earthquake surface fault rupture have been observed. the results of investigating a potential mitigation scheme are presented in this paper. such plan provides a wall in the soil with the aim of surface displacement localization in the narrow pre-determined location. this may reduce the risk of the future rupture downstre...

The present paper aims to demonstrate why usually when theoretical mathematical models are used to compute the frequencies corresponding to a faulty rolling bearing a deviation is obtained between the computed values and the real frequencies emitted by such a device. A laboratory rolling bearing test ring has been developed to perform the current studies. From the obtained results we highlight ...

This paper presents a new approach to power transformer differential protection based on HS-transform and SVM (support vector machine). Here, HS-transform is used to generate frequency contours from samples of differential current and parseval’s theorem is used to extract the features like energy and standard deviation. Subsequently these features are used as inputs to SVM for fault classificat...

A wavelet transform method for fault detection of power supply circuit is presented. The wavelet transform is applied to the healthy and faulty circuit under test (CUT) to obtain transform coefficients. Standard deviation (SD) of transform coefficients are extracted to create fault dictionary. The simulation result shows effectiveness of transform based method for fault detection of power suppl...

This paper proposed an approach of mechanical failure information extraction and recognition in the early fault state variables, combined with the principal component analysis algorithm with FCM algorithm. Principal component analysis algorithm to get the characteristic value of data sets carries enough about fault in the time domain. Then FCM algorithm is used to analysis model is established ...

This paper proposes a new performance characterization for the test strategy intended for second order filters denominated Transient Analysis Method (TRAM). We evaluate the ability of the addressed test strategy for detecting deviation faults under simultaneous statistical fluctuation of the non-faulty parameters. For this purpose, we use Monte Carlo simulations and a fault model that considers...

Mashhad city, the second most populous metropolis of Iran, with a population of more than three million, lies between two seismically active regions of Binalood and Kopet-Dagh. In recent years, the city has grown around the South Mashhad (SM) fault zone in the south. Given the vital role of the SM fault in influencing the seismic risk of the city, this study is aimed at the evaluation of the fa...

Nowadays, inverters are power electronics devices used in the renewable energy conversion systems and also to fed induction motors, therefore the continuity of service of power converter has been a major concern. This paper presents a new approach of open circuit fault detection in a pulse width modulation three phase voltage source inverter. The fault occurrence detection was based on the stan...
