This paper deals with the problem of fault detection for networked control systems in the stochastic environments. The packet dropout, networkinduced delay and out-of-order packets due to long delay are assumed to exist stochastically in the sensor-to-controller link and the controller-toactuator link. By assuming that the stochastic environment could be described as a homogeneous Markovian cha...

Structural damage to r.c. buildings located in a near-fault area has been observed during strong ground motions, with long-duration horizontal pulses and high values of the ratio between the peak value of the vertical acceleration and the analogous value of the horizontal acceleration. The design provisions of current seismic codes are generally not very accurate for assessing the structural ef...

considering recent developments in earthquake engineering, researchers has detected different effects of earthquakes far and near from the fault. investigations that have been done in this area show that near fault earthquakes have shorter time period comparing far fault earthquakes and in the velocity of near fault earthquakes, there are one or more impacting pulses with a big domain and perio...

superconductor fault current limiter (sfcl) is an effective device to suppress high fault currents. this paper presents a comparative study of resistive and inductive fault current limiters from transient stability point of view.  appropriate location and type of the limiters in a hv substation is selected by a qualitative approach based on the equal area criterion. study system is simulated by...

We address the problem of reaching consensus in the presence of Byzantine faults. Fault-tolerant consensus algorithms typically assume knowledge of nonlocal information and multi-hop communication; however, this assumption is not suitable for large-scale static/dynamic networks. A handful of iterative algorithms have been proposed recently under the assumption that each node (faulty or fault-fr...

[1] Major ruptures along the San Andreas Fault System (SAFS) are driven by stress that has accumulated in the upper locked portion of the crust. The present-day stress accumulation rate on any given fault segment is fairly well resolved by current geodetic measurements. Model stress accumulation rates vary between 0.5 and 7 MPa per century and are inversely proportional to earthquake recurrence...

To realize the self-healing concept of smart grids, an accurate and reliable fault locator is a prerequisite. This paper presents a new fault location method for active power distribution networks which is based on measured voltage sag and use of whale optimization algorithm (WOA). The fault induced voltage sag depends on the fault location and resistance. Therefore, the fault location can be f...
