in this research, a new mathematical modeling on strength changes due to reservoir elastic stresses across the preexisting fault plane is introduced. the method has been applied to the dalpari fault, which is one of the potential seismic sources in the vicinity of the karkheh reservoir. in this method the distribution of total stress across the fault cannot be determined because the initial str...

we present an approach to design of fault tolerant computing systems. in this paper, a technique is employed that enable the combination of several codes, in order to obtain flexibility in the design of error correcting codes. code combining techniques are very effective, which one of these codes are turbo codes. the algorithm-based fault tolerance techniques that to detect errors rely on the c...

A multiscale approach [1] that couples the finite-element method (FEM) and discrete-element (DEM) is employed to model analyse earthquake fault rupture-soil-foundation interaction (FR-SFI) problem. In approach, soil constitutive responses are obtained from DEM solutions of representative volume elements (RVEs) embedded at FEM integration points so as effectively bypass phenomenological hypothes...
