[1] Foreshock sequences have repeatedly been observed in the thrust faulting system of the Chengkung area in eastern Taiwan. Examinations of earthquakes since 1992 in this area show all six of the larger earthquakes (ML R 5) had foreshocks at a distance of only a few kilometres within just a few days before the main shocks. The largest earthquake (ML = 6.5) on December 10, 2003 was preceded by ...

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...

this paper presents a new observer design methodology for a time varying actuator fault estimation. a new linear matrix inequality (lmi) design algorithm is developed to tackle the limitations (e.g. equality constraint and robustness problems) of the well known so called fast adaptive fault estimation observer (fafe). the fafe is capable of estimating a wide range of time-varying actuator fault...

the idea of this paper is designing an automatic fault detection system based on fuzzy logic, therefore two signals of pmsm in fault condition are analyzed for inter turn fault detection: current and torque. in this fault type there is some distortion in these signals, but it is not good enough to detecting with fuzzy logic solely, so with combination of wavelet transform and fcm a new method f...

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...

The hallmark of great earthquakes in the Mediterranean is 21 July 365 CE earthquake and tsunami that destroyed cities killed thousands people throughout Eastern Mediterranean. This event intriguing because most subduction forearcs exhibit pervasive crustal extension minimal definitive evidence exists for megathrust earthquakes, consistent with weak seismic coupling. conundrum has led many to fa...

Integration of geological and geophysical data is essential to elucidate the configuration geometry surface subsurface structures, as well their long-term evolution. The NNW–SSE-striking incised valley parallel mountain range in southeastern margin Korean Peninsula, extending 50 km from Gyeongju Ulsan cities, are together regarded one most prominent geographical features South Korea. This paper...

Fault slip rate variability over time is a crucial aspect for understanding how single faults interact among each other in fault systems. Several studies worldwide evidence the occurrence of high activity periods with clustering events and synchronization faults, followed by long low (super-cycles). The increasing gathering these phenomena making hazard models quickly evolving challenging seism...

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 ...
