It is proposed to complement the numerous geometrical constructions of fault-related folds relevant to fold-and-thrust belts by the introduction of mechanical equilibrium and of the rock limited strength to discriminate between various deformation scenarios. The theory used to support this statement is the maximum strength theorem that is related to the kinematic approach of limit analysis know...

Generating an accurate model of the subsurface for purpose assessing feasibility a CO 2 storage site is crucial. In particular, how faults are interpreted likely to influence predicted capacity and integrity reservoir; whether this through identifying high-risk areas along fault, where fluid flow across or by reactivation potential fault with increased pressure, causing up fault. New technologi...

In this work, a methodological framework employing image processing techniques has been developed and applied on a LANDSATETM+ image of Alevrada, Greece. Pre-processing of the satellite image was followed by edge detection performed on band 5 of the ETM+ image in order to obtain proper input data to the lineament identification system. NDVI, PCA and ISODATA unsupervised classification were appl...

Deterministic Seismic Hazard Analysis (DSHA) for the Bangalore, India has been carried out by considering the past earthquakes, assumed subsurface fault rupture lengths and point source synthetic ground motion model. The sources have been identified using satellite remote sensing images and seismotectonic atlas map of India and relevant field studies. Maximum Credible Earthquake (MCE) has been ...

This paper presents penalty terms for fault tolerance enhancement. We argue that the use of conventional learning algorithms leads to networks that have solutions that are non-optimally distributed and hence susceptible to faults. In addition we assert that fault tolerance will become an increasingly important factor in practical applications of neural networks. To address these issues we prese...

Recent studies have focused on the question of the stratigraphic sequence and thus the stages of tessera formation, specifically, if tessera re formed by contractional deformation followed by extensional deformation or vice versa. A major question centers on the interpretation of specific lineaments within tesserae as graben (bounded by faults -•60 ø) or, alternatively, open tension fractures (...

The bearings are the most important mechanical elements of rotating machinery. They are employed to support and rotate the shafts in rotating machinery. On the other hand, any fault in bearing can lead to losses on the level of production and equipments as well as creation an unsafe working environment for human. For these reasons, Condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of these bearings has ...

To gain a thorough understanding of the fault mechanisms in SLS machines, we decompose SLS profile signals into independent features using a novel tool called Karhunen-Loeve (KL) transform. These individual features can then be studied separately to monitor the occurrence of fault patterns on manufactured parts and determine their nature. Analytical signals with known fault patterns, simulating...

Most robot controllers today employ a single processor architecture As robot control requirements become more complex these serial controllers have di culty providing the desired response time Additionally with robots being used in environments that are hazardous or inaccessible to humans fault tolerant robotic systems are particularly desirable A uniprocessor control architecture cannot o er t...
