[1] We examine the work energy budget of actively deforming fault systems in order to develop a means of examining the systemic behavior of complex fault networks. Work done in the deformation of a faulted area consists of five components: (1) work done against gravity in uplift of topography (Wgrav); (2) internal energy of the strained host rock (Wint); (3) work done resisting friction during ...

This paper discusses the application of MultiLayer Feed Forward Neural Network (MFNN) for the differential protection of the turbogenerator based on pattern classification. The cases of all the possible internal faults in the stator of the generator with lap winding have been simulated using Modified Winding function Approach. The simulated fault currents in the phases and their parallel paths ...

We present a new fault exposure and localization approach intended to increase the effectiveness of regression testing. In particular, we extend traditional regression testing, which strongly focuses on black box comparisons, to compare internal program states. These value spectra differences allow a more detailed comparison of executions of the new and old versions of a program. In particular,...

Fault tolerance is increasingly important in modern autonomous or industrial robots. The ability to detect and tolerate failures allows robots to e ectively cope with internal failures and continue performing designated tasks without the need for immediate human intervention. To support these fault tolerant capabilities, methods of detecting and isolating failures must be perfected. This thesis...

Rabbit is a high speed scalable stream cipher with 128-bit key and a 64-bit initialization vector. It has passed all three stages of the ECRYPT stream cipher project and is a member of eSTREAM software portfolio. In this paper, we present a practical fault analysis attack on Rabbit. The fault model in which we analyze the cipher is the one in which the attacker is assumed to be able to fault a ...

The lack of information about core’s internal structure is The designers must rely solely on the test set distributed by the core provider. Sometimes the stuck at fault (SAF) model and automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) are used to generate test vectors for those pre-defined blocks. However, a SAF test set could waste lots of time to verify the pre-verified internal structure of the cores...

Fault tolerance techniques are used to allow computer systems to continue correct operation despite component failure. Hardware-supported concurrent error-detection and limited fault tolerance in system components, as implemented by coding or replication, are often required. Detection latency can be reduced by increasing the visibility of internal module state using compressed ‘‘signatures’’ of...

[1] The initiation of frictional instability is investigated for simple models of fault zone using a linearized perturbation analysis. The fault interface is assumed to obey a linear slipweakening law. The fault is initially prestressed uniformly at the sliding threshold. In the case of antiplane shear between two homogeneous linearly elastic media, space-time and spectral solutions are obtaine...
