This paper presets a method including a combination of the wavelet transform and fuzzy function approximation (FFA) for high impedance fault (HIF) detection in distribution electricity network. Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) has been used in this paper as a tool for signal analysis. With studying different types of mother signals, detail types and feeder signal, the best case is selected. The...

We perform a detailed parameter-space study on properties of yielding zones generated by 2-D in-plane dynamic ruptures on a planar fault with different friction laws and parameters, different initial stress conditions, different rock cohesion values, and different contrasts of elasticity and mass density across the fault. The focus is on cases corresponding to large strike-slip faults having hi...

When the Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) fails on AC side, operating characteristics of MMC will be damaged. If system wants to retain stable for a long time in process operation, it is obliged design control strategy case asymmetric fault. In this article, based feedback linearization principle adopted diminish negative sequence current caused by breakdown, and DC voltage controller devised...

[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...

This paper presents a system for localising a camera using artiicial beacons placed in the environment. The system uses colour ratios to hypothesise the location of beacons and then tests each hypothesis by comparing the image data with the predicted appearance of the beacon. The beacons are planar and use three colours; their pattern, shown to be unique, is highly asymmetric and (single) fault...

[1] Earthquake ruptures are modeled as dynamically propagating shear cracks with the aim of gaining insight into the physical mechanisms governing their arrest or, otherwise, the often-observed variations in rupture speeds. Fault bends have been proposed as being the main cause for these variations. Following this line of reasoning, the existence of deviations from fault planarity is chosen as ...

Fault-based side channel cryptanalysis is very effective against symmetric and asymmetric encryption algorithms. Although straightforward hardware and time redundancy based concurrent error detection (CED) architectures can be used to thwart such attacks, they entail significant overhead (either area or performance). In this paper we investigate two systematic approaches to low-cost, low-latenc...

[1] The Uganik Thrust is a fossil out-of-sequence thrust fault which was active over a period of 3 Ma during the early Tertiary until activity ceased with the subduction of the Kula-Farallon spreading ridge at 57 Ma. During this period the fault experienced at least 1 km of throw and developed a strongly asymmetric damage zone. The brittle damage zone in the footwall of the fault acted as a con...
