Steering assist system controls the force transfer behavior of the steering system and improves the steering probability of the vehicle. Moreover, it is an interface between the diver and vehicle. Fault detection in electrical assisted steering systems is a challenging problem due to frequently use of these systems. This paper addresses the fault detection and reconstruction in automotive elect...

A systematic method for the diagnosis of planar antenna arrays from far field radiation pattern using neural networks is presented. Two types of neural networks, Radial basis function (RBF) and Probabilistic neural network (PNN) are considered for the performance comparison. Deviation pattern is used as input to the neural network to determine the location of the faulty element and error in exc...

We demonstrate a rupture front focusing phenomenon at the initial stage of earthquake, which causes high slip rate pulses and therefore generates high frequency seismic waves. In this computation, we assume a pre-slip region, where stress has already lowered quasi-statically to the dynamic friction level. And due to the pre-slip, we suppose a stress concentration at the edge of pre-slip area. T...

You Promised Me a City—speaking with Lefebvre, it is simultaneously cry and demand. But what city? Who made the promise? And to whom? This paper was inspired by two thought-provoking days spent in Hannover, Germany at City, conference for experimental urban development. Firstly, wanted produce tensions bringing people from different fields, academics, practitioners, artists together various cou...

A conceptual model is proposed for the generation of low-angle normal faults in Metamorphic Core Complexes. The model is based on three assumptions: (1) the isostatic response to normal fault motion is of regional extent; (2) when a fault segment is significantly rotated from the optimum angle of slip, relative to the crustal stress field, it is replaced by a new planar fault oriented in the op...

a new fault tolerant controller (ftc) has been presented in this research by integrating a fault detection and diagnosis (fdd) mechanism in a nonlinear model predictive controller framework. the proposed fdd utilizes a multi-sensor data fusion (msdf) methodology to enhance its reliability and estimation accuracy. an augmented state-vector model is developed to incorporate the occurred sensor fa...

the concept of fault, like other social phenomena, is always changing, following the variable justice. the economic, moral, and philosophical consideration, are the most influential factors in the process of change. however, it seems that, apart from exceptional issues of revolutionary changes, the economic and material factors lead the way. in this historical process, the definitions of fault ...
