Current studies of fault interaction lack sufficiently long earthquake records and measurements of fault slip rates over multiple seismic cycles to fully investigate the effects of interseismic loading and coseismic stress changes on the surrounding fault network. We model elastic interactions between 97 faults from 30 earthquakes since 1349 A.D. in central Italy to investigate the relative imp...

This study presents fault diagnosis of low speed bearing using multi-class relevance vector machine (RVM) and support vector machine (SVM). A low speed test rig was developed to simulate various defects with shaft speeds as low as 10 rpm under several loading conditions. The data was acquired from the low speed bearing test rig using two acoustic emission (AE) sensors under constant loading (5 ...

[1] We discuss numerical simulations of evolving fault zone structures in a 3-D lithospheric model with a seismogenic crust governed by a damage rheology that accounts for large strain associated with permanent brittle deformation. Results for the initial propagation of an existing narrow damage zone subjected to oblique loading exhibit strong asymmetry of the evolving damage with respect to th...

the zagros fold- thrust belt as a part of alpine- himalayan orogenic belt, is one of the most active continental collision zones on the earth, which extends from the tarus mountains in south eastern turkey to the minab fault in the east of the strait of hormoz in southern iran. structurally, its formation is related to the continuing convergent movement between the arabian plate to the southwes...

The fault tolerance theories by Arora and Kulkarni [3] and by Jhumka et al. [10] view a fault-tolerant program as the result of composing a fault-intolerant program with fault tolerance components called detectors and correctors. At their core, the theories assume that the correctness specifications under consideration are fusion closed. In general, fusion closure of specifications can be achie...

This paper presents a technique for diagnosis of the type of fault and the faulty phase on overhead transmission line. The proposed method is based on the multiresolution S-transform and Parseval’s theorem. S-transform is used to produce instantaneous frequency vectors of the voltage signals of the three phases, and then the energies of these vectors, based on the Parseval’s theorem, are utiliz...

In the last 5000 years, global mean sea level has been dominated by the redistribution of water masses over the globe. In the last 300 years, sea level has been oscillation close to the present with peak rates in the period 1890–1930. Between 1930 and 1950, sea fell. The late 20th century lack any sign of acceleration. Satellite altimetry indicates virtually no changes in the last decade. There...

Bone adapts its morphology (density/micro- architecture) in response to the local loading conditions in such a way that a uniform tissue loading is achieved ('Wolff's law'). This paradigm has been used as a basis for bone remodeling simulations to predict the formation and adaptation of trabecular bone. However, in order to predict bone architectural changes in patients, the physiological exter...
