During a DC fault, all interconnected power converters' DC buses severely contribute to the fault current and, due to the low impedance characteristic of DC cables, the direct bus voltages in the MTDC grid are thereby substantially reduced, nearly stopping the power flow.
Faults were imaged as high-attenuation stripes, demonstrating that SAP may contribute to detection of faults in the igneous section of oceanic crust where faults are rarely imaged by conventional seismic reflection methods.
Failure surface characteristics, including mixed tensile and shear segments, indicate hybrid failure in chalk and limestone, whereas shear failure predominates in mudrock and ash beds – these changes in failure mode contribute to variation in fault dip.
Since such surfaces may have the capability to reactivate where the stresses affecting the surface are geometrically appropriate, the method presented in this paper may contribute to identifying active fault surfaces.
Geologic faults, acting as weak planes, might contribute to generate shallow normal fault-type and deeper strike-slip fault-type microearthquakes.
Such incorporation of high friction material could cause the heterogeneity in friction strength of fault zones and might contribute to the evolution of fault-zone architecture.
If the mechanical incorporation of wall rocks of high friction coefficient into fault zones is widespread at the mesoscale, it causes the heterogeneity in friction strength of fault zones and might contribute to the evolution of fault-zone architectures.
It is a classic Greek tragedy, in which the hero's faults contribute to his tragic downfall.
These faults contribute to an inefficient use of energy and domestic water resources.
The valley is severely impacted by large earthquakes due to the very high tectonic activity of the nearby faults as well as the faults that contribute to the growth of the mountain range.
Fault interactions, especially in areas with closely spaced faults, may also contribute to variations in slip distributions along a single fault (Martel and Shacat 2006).
