Multiple-fault rupture of the M7.1 Hector Mine, California, earthquake from fault zone trapped waves

[1] We studied the complex multiple-faulting pattern of the 40-km-long rupture zone of the 1999 M7.1 Hector Mine, California, earthquake with fault zone trapped waves generated by near-surface explosions and aftershocks, and recorded by linear seismic arrays deployed across the surface rupture. The explosion excited trapped waves, with relatively large amplitudes at 3–5 Hz and a long duration o...

Fault Diagnosis and Fault-Tolerant SVPWM Technique of Six-phase Converter under Open-Switch Fault

In this paper, a new open-switch fault diagnosis method is proposed for the six-phase AC-DC converter based on the difference between the phase current and the corresponding reference using an adaptive threshold. The open-switch faults are detected without any additional equipment and complicated calculations, since the proposed fault detection method is integrated with the controller required ...

Multiple Stuck at fault model Analysis

This paper discusses an algorithm to model any given multiple stuck at fault as a single stuck at fault with the insertion of at most n+3 gates, where n is the multiplicity of the targeted fault. The application of this model in circuit optimization, fault diagnosis and testing of multiply testable faults is discussed with examples. Any arbitrary multiple fault in combinational and sequential c...

Use of Fault Dropping for Multiple Fault Analysis

A new approach to fault analysis is presented. We consider multiple stuck-at-0/1 faults at the gate level. First, a fault collapsing phase is applied to the network, so that equivalent faults are eliminated. During the analysis we consider frontier faults where there is at least a normal path from each faulty line to a primary output. It is shown that the set of frontier faults is equivalent to...
