the nw-se trending tus fault is one of the active faults in the north-east of iran . geomorphologic evidences indicate that this fault is active and goes through mashhad city from near tus town. since the population and number of pilgrims in this city are high, the study of the tus fault is of great importance. hence, we have carried out a new investigation to evaluate the hazardous potential o...

We present the design and analysis of a fault-tolerant and bandwidth-efficient Peer-to-Peer (P2P) scheme (called as WARP). WARP employs a simple and natural fault-tolerant mechanism to manage the dynamic nature of node arrivals and departures by allowing multiple physical nodes to service data mapped to a single node in the overlay. WARP’s overlay network is asymmetric (built using an underlyin...

Low stacking fault energy face centered cubic (FCC) materials contain characteristic defect structures. Stacking fault tetrahedral are one of those rare structures that occur under special experimental conditions. For the first time, stacking fault tetrahedral were observed in Fe-30Mn-3Al-3Si twinning induced plasticity (TWIP) steel. Their presence resulted from a quenching heat treatment.

We investigate asymmetric rupture propagation on an interface that combines a bulk elastic mismatch with a contrast in off-fault damage. Mode II ruptures propagating on the interface between thermally shocked (damaged) Homalite and polycarbonate plates were studied using high-speed photographs of the photoelastic fringes. The anelastic asymmetry introduced by damage is defined by ‘T’ and ‘C’ di...

The North Tabriz Fault is seismologically an active fault with current right lateral strike-slip movements. Restricted mafic to intermediate Late Cretaceous igneous rocks are exposed along the North Tabriz Fault. Whole rock samples and clinopyroxene phenocrysts geochemistry were studied in order to characterize the petrogenesis of these mafic rocks and their possible relation to an oceanic crus...

In this paper, an approach is proposed for accurate locating of single phase faults in transmission lines using voltage signals measured at one-end. In this method, harmonic components of the voltage signals are extracted through Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) and are normalized by a transformation. The proposed fault locator, which is designed based on Random Forests (RF) algorithm, is train...
