We perform dynamic simulations of thrust and normal faults over multiple earthquake cycles. Our goal is to explore effects of asymmetric fault geometry on the long-term seismicity and dynamics of dipping faults. A dynamic finite-element method is used to model the interseismic and coseismic processes, with a dynamic relaxation technique for the former. The faults are loaded by stable sliding al...

Context: Boolean expressions are a central aspect of speci cations and programs, but they also o er dangerously many ways to introduce faults. To counter this e ect, various criteria to generate and evaluate tests have been proposed. These are traditionally based on the structure of the expressions, but are not directly related to the possible faults. Often, they also require expressions to be ...

Detailed and preliminary field investigations delineating the most recent fault ruptures in vicinity of the Dixie Valley, Beowawe, and Bradys geothermal fields allow an assessment of static stress changes and their possible influences on the geothermal environments. Our models for the Dixie Valley and Beowawe regions show increased failure stress on faults and fractures associated with the geot...

More and more network-based services are considered essential by their operators: either because their unavailability might directly lead to economic losses, as with e-commerce applications or online auction services, for example, or because their well-functioning is crucial for the well-functioning of other services, which is, for example, the case for distributed file systems or coordination ...

One of the most destructive historical earthquakes (M 6.7) in Spain occurred in 1884 along the normal Ventas de Zafarraya Fault located in the Central Betic Cordilleras. Palaeoseismic and radiocarbon data presented in this study are the first to constrain the timing of the pre-1884 fault history in the last 10 ka. These data yield a recurrence interval of between 2 and 3 ka for major earthquake...

Lots of motors have been being used in industry. Therefore many researchers have studied about the failure diagnosis of motors. In this paper, the effect of measuring environment for diagnosis of gear fault connected to a motor shaft is studied. The fault diagnosis is executed through the comparison of normal gear and abnormal gear. The measured FFT data are compared with the normal data and an...

We address the issue of detecting fault events in multivariate time series. We suppose the following realistic situation: A) the features to which multivariate time series correspond are heterogeneous; B) relative to a large number of normal examples, only a small number of examples of fault events are available in advance; and C) many features irrelevant to fault events are included. In such a...

Due to the rising power demand and increasing population worldwide, electrical power networks have been extensively growing and striving to satisfy the escalating loads. This necessitates the need for using Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices which have become indispensable during normal and abnormal operating conditions. This paper investigates the impact of using series FACTS devi...

Fault localization is one of the most difficult activities in software debugging. Many existing statistical faultlocalization techniques estimate the fault positions of programs by comparing the program feature spectra between passed runs and failed runs. Some existing approaches develop estimation formulas based on mean values of the underlying program feature spectra and their distributions a...
