Fault Detectors are valuable services which provide information about process failures in largescale parallel systems. Previous many studies suggest guidelines for the implementation of a fault detector. However, a practical approach to implementation is another challenge due to various parallel system environments of both hardware and software. This study explains that Fault detector is able t...

Parallel shear flows problem is a classical hydrodynamic instability problem and continues to attract attention of researchers [1,2,3,5]. Kuo [8] considered slightly general case of a homogeneous, inviscid, parallel shear flow problem in the β -plane. He obtained the linearized perturbation equation for this problem and derived an extension of the celebrated Rayleigh’s [9] inflexion point crite...

The protection of parallel transmission lines has been a challenging task due to mutual coupling between the adjacent circuits of the line. This paper presents a novel scheme for detection and classification of faults on parallel transmission lines. The proposed approach uses combination of wavelet transform and neural network, to solve the problem. While wavelet transform is a powerful mathema...

P-wave anisotropy is significant in the mylonitic Alpine Fault shear zone. Mineral- and texture-induced are dominant these rocks but further complicated by presence of fractures. Electron back-scattered diffraction synchrotron X-ray microtomography (micro-CT) data acquired on exhumed schist, protomylonite, mylonite, ultramylonite samples to quantify mineral phases, crystal preferred orientation...

[1] The slip behavior of major faults depends largely on the frictional and hydrologic properties of fault gouge. We report on laboratory experiments designed to measure the strength, friction constitutive properties, and permeability of a suite of saturated clay-rich fault gouges, including: a 50:50% mixture of montmorillonite-quartz, powdered illite shale, and powdered chlorite schist. Fricti...

In this paper we study a start-up shear flow of recently proposed model shear-thinning fluid that mimics the response class viscoplastic materials, namely between parallel plates, one which is fixed and other started impulsively. simple flows while generalized viscosity blows up, stress yet finite thus able to mimic fluids. The analytical solution velocity profile obtained using semi-inverse ap...

In this paper, shear localization due to strain softening in sidepressed cylinders, is inverstigated. Shear localization causes formation of macroscopic shear bands which can be obsserved in the metallographic cross-section. In this paper, for the first time a method is presented in which a simple two-slice model is used to study the formation of shear bands. The results obtained form this mode...
