The NNW-trending Dena Fault, with 140 km length, cuts the major structures of Zagros Fold-Thrust Belt in Borujen region. The fault has divided the region in two zones, in which different structural, andmorphological features as well assedimentation and seismtectonic characteristics have developed. This study presents a new interpretation for the kinematics of Dena Fault based on field evidence....

A new one-end fault location algorithm designated for series-compensated transmission lines is delivered in this paper. It is based on differential equation approach, which allows good reflection of the dynamic phenomena relevant for faults occurring behind the bank of series capacitors (SCs) equipped with metal oxide varistors (MOVs). As a result of that, a good stabilisation of the estimation...

Fault Modeling, Delay Evaluation and Path Selection for Delay Test Under Process Variation in Nano-scale VLSI Circuits. (December 2005) Xiang Lu, B.S., Xi'an Jiaotong University; M.S., Xi'an Jiaotong University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Weiping Shi Delay test in nano-scale VLSI circuits becomes more difficult with shrinking technology feature sizes and rising clock frequencies. In this d...

Steering assist system controls the force transfer behavior of the steering system and improves the steering probability of the vehicle. Moreover, it is an interface between the diver and vehicle. Fault detection in electrical assisted steering systems is a challenging problem due to frequently use of these systems. This paper addresses the fault detection and reconstruction in automotive elect...

ENHANCING AUTOMATED FAULT DISCOVERY AND ANALYSIS By Jared David DeMott Creating quality software is difficult. Likewise, offensive researchers look to penetrate quality software. Both parties benefit from a scalable bug hunting framework. Once bugs are found, an equally expensive task is debugging. To debug faults, analysts must identify statements involved in the failures and select suspicious...

Earthquakes can cause tremendous loss of life and property yet predicting the behavior of earthquake fault systems is exceptionally difficult. The Earths crust is complex and earthquakes generate at depth, which is problematic for understanding earthquake fault behavior. Geodetic imaging observations of crustal deformation from Global Positioning System (GPS) and Interferometric Synthetic Apert...

When a fault occurs in a power system, the protective relays detect the fault and trip appropriate circuit breakers, which isolate the affected equipment from the rest of the power system. Fault diagnosis of power systems is the process of identifying faulty components and/or sections by analysing observable symptoms (telemetry messages). As the domain itself is characterised by dynamic situati...

Fault diagnosis has attracted extensive attention for its importance in the exceedingly fault management framework for cloud virtualization, despite the fact that fault diagnosis becomes more difficult due to the increasing scalability and complexity in a heterogeneous environment for a virtualization technique. Most existing fault diagnoses methods are based on active probing techniques which ...

Practical experience has demonstrated that the goal of building fault-free systems, although attractive, is impossible to achieve. Hardware deteriorates with time, and software has become so complex that design faults are difficult, if not impossible, to avoid. Hence, the more viable alternative for applications requiring high levels of dependability is to implement systems capable of toleratin...

In many large-scale power plants, the structure of its auxiliary power system is complex, and the coordination of its relay protections is difficult. To enhance power supply reliability for the user terminals in the case of the distribution system to avoid interference by the fault again, rapidly complete the automatic identification, positioning, automatic fault isolation, network reconfigurat...
