The 21 May 2021 Maduo earthquake was the largest event to occur on a secondary fault in interior of active Bayanhar block north-central Tibetan plateau last twenty years. A detailed kinematic study helps us better understand seismogenic environments faults within block, and its relationship with block-bounding faults. In this study, firstly, SAR images are used obtain coseismic deformation fiel...

SUMMARY The Main Köpetdag Fault (MKDF) is a predominantly right-lateral strike-slip fault that dissects the northern edge of mountains Turkmenistan and Iran. represents northernmost expression deformation from Arabia-Eurasia collision to east Caspian Sea, plays an important role facilitating motion South Basin (SCB). Despite kinematic significance MKDF, previous geodetic measurements slip-rate ...

This paper presents an analysis of the stability of an electric vehicle equipped with in-wheel motors of permanent-magnet type during a class of electrical faults. Due to the constant excitation from the permanent magnets, the output torque from a faulted wheel cannot easily be removed if an inverter shuts down, which directly affects the vehicle stability. In this paper, the impact of an elect...

We analyze GPS data observed before and after the 2001 Mw 7.8 Kokoxili earthquake in northern Tibet to derive the coseismic deformation field of that earthquake. Using this coseismic displacement data set and geologically mapped surface break measurements, we invert for the coseismic slip distribution along the seismogenic East Kunlun fault. Our result shows that the earthquake on average ruptu...

Near-field co-seismic GPS data were used to derive the slip distribution of the 12 May 2008 Wenchuan earthquake. Based on field measurements and geological observations, the earthquake is represented by ruptures on the Beichuan fault and a neighboring fault from Pengxian to Guanxian, both dipping with a decreasing angle with depth. Using a layered elastic crust model, we obtained a slip model t...

Coseismic deformation fields of the 6 October 2008 Mw6.3 Damxung earthquake were obtained from interferometric synthetic aperture radar by using three descending and two ascending Envisat images. Significant coseismic surface deformation occurred within 20 km 9 20 km of the epicenter with a maximum displacement of *0.3 m along the satellite line of sight. We model a linear elastic dislocation i...

A “complete” fault diagnostic system is developed for automated vehicles operating as a platoon on an automated highway system. The diagnostic system is designed to monitor the complete set of sensors and actuators used by the lateral and longitudinal controllers of the vehicle, including radar sensors, magnetometers and inter-vehicle communication systems. A fault in any of the twelve sensors ...

[1] In May of 1999 and 2000, we surveyed with Global Positioning System (GPS) 46 geodetic monuments established by Imperial College, London, in a dense grid (half-mile spacing) along the Imperial Fault, with three additional National Geodetic Survey sites serving as base stations. These stations were previously surveyed in 1991 and 1993. The Imperial College sites were surveyed in rapid-static ...
