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 investigation of this paper focuses on eastern part of shahroud fault system in middle-east alborz. this fault system is an important part in the seismotectonic map of the area. we used two local temporary dense seismological networks data installed around the fault system for several months during 2007 and 2008 and simultaneously micro-earthquakes data recorded by the permanent seismologic...

(paper pages 133-156) zagros active fold-thrust belt lies on the northern margin of the arabian continental crust it is a young fold-thrust mountain belt currently shortening, thickening and uplifting as a result of the collision of the arabian and iranian plates. rethickening of crust during collisional orogenies could have been carried out by reversal of fault motion along the mesozoic normal...

a new fault tolerant controller (ftc) has been presented in this research by integrating a fault detection and diagnosis (fdd) mechanism in a nonlinear model predictive controller framework. the proposed fdd utilizes a multi-sensor data fusion (msdf) methodology to enhance its reliability and estimation accuracy. an augmented state-vector model is developed to incorporate the occurred sensor fa...

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...

vehicle driveline system and its working accuracy play an important role in the performance of car. the purpose of this study is to provide an appropriate mechanism for investigating, identifying and determining the position and size of defects in the vehicle power transmission system. this is based on the patterns of the residual signal, obtained from a simulated model of the system. neuro-fuz...
