In this paper, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data from ENVISAT ASAR ascending, descending and ALOS PALSAR ascending orbits are collected to investigate the coseismic displacements of the Mw 6.4 earthquake occurred in Gaize, Tibet on January 9, 2008 and the Mw 5.9 aftershock on January 16, 2008. Two interferometric phase analysis techniques, i.e., D-InSAR and multi-aperture InSAR, are employed ...

kuhbanan fault system, as one of the intracontinental faults of central iran, is recognized by considerable seismogenic activities and modern morphotectonics evidences with a strike-slip (reverse component) motion. according to the geometric and kinematics data, kuhbanan fault has been divided into 5 segments (s26, s27, s28, s29, s30) in bahabad region. measured geomorphic indices of ratio of v...

The three notorious earthquakes of 1999 in Turkey Kocaeli and Düzce and Taiwan Chi-Chi , having offered numerous examples of surface fault rupturing underneath civil engineering structures, prompted increased interest in the subject. This paper develops a nonlinear finite-element methodology to study dip–slip “normal” and “reverse” fault rupture propagation through sand. The procedure is verifi...

Procedures of using ground penetrating radar (GPR) and Sentinel-1 satellite synthetic aperture (SAR) were tested in the area housing estates Hodonín, where there is an intensive decrease subsoil thus a significant cracking prefabricated houses. Extensive geophysical research site provided essential information about active faults area. To prove them define most deformation zones (blocks), maxim...

Sigmoidal fold and fault geometries are typical kinematic indicators of strike-slip zones. We document kilometer-scale, normal faults with sigmoidal plan-view within the dextral pull-apart Bahia Basin, at rear obliquely convergent South Caribbean Deformed Belt, offshore Colombia. Using 3D seismic reflection data calibrated to wells, closely spaced, low-displacement, planar mapped Miocene strata...

Operation of semiconductor devices may be negatively affected by permanent, transient and intermittent faults. Nanocomputing devices are expected to experience higher error rates, in particular due to transient and intermittent faults. The errors induced by high energy particles, usually referred to as soft errors, have been extensively studied. However, similar errors may be induced by intermi...

Charles McFall, Adiwinata Gani, Prashant Mhaskar, Panagiotis D. Christofides, and James F. Davis Chemical plants are large-scale systems that involve a complex, distributed arrangement of a number of processing units (reactors, distillation columns, absorbers, pumps, heat exchangers, etc.) connected in series or in parallel, with recycle of material and energy integration among various parts of...

Frequency response analysis (FRA) is a sensitive ‎method established for testing the mechanical integrity of ‎transformers. However, interpretation of FRA signature still ‎needs expert opinions and there is no FRA interpretation code ‎generally accepted. Various mechanical faults with different ‎extents on power transformers are required to aid FRA ‎interpretation. To address this challenge, in...

In this work, we present the application of Generalized Linear Feedback Shift Registers (GLFSRs) for generation of patterns for pseudo-random memory Built-In SelfTest (BIST). Recently, it was shown that using GLFSRs as pattern generators for pseudo-random logic tests can increase the fault coverage noticeably in comparison to standard pseudo-random test pattern generators. Since memory faults d...
