Abstract Fractures that form when fluid pressure ruptures the rock are referred to as fluid-driven fractures or hydrofractures. These include most dykes, inclined sheets and sills, but also many mineral veins joints, well human-made hydraulic fractures. While considerable field theoretical work has focused on geometry arrest of hydrofractures, how they select their propagation paths, particular...

Abstract The northern Central Range of Taiwan is a high-potential geothermal region. Since the formations are mainly tight metasandstone and slate, permeable structures associated with faults commonly considered as conduits fluids. This study determines characteristics orientations fault zones by analyzing geophysical logs microresistivity formation image log (FMI) JT-4 well in Jentse, an impor...

This paper proposes a wide-area backup protection (WABP) method for transmission systems using sparse synchronized/unsynchronized PMU measurements. The is aimed at addressing practical challenges such as temporary loss of the time-synchronization signal (LTSS), coverage, and communication failures latencies. A linear computationally efficient formulation proposed to identify faulted line in nea...

This study integrates the results of numerical modeling analyses based on outcrop studies and structural kinematic restorations to evaluate mechanics thrust fault initiation development in mechanically layered sedimentary rocks.
