Stochastic simulations for both point source and extended fault ruptures that used region-specific crustal attenuation and source scaling (D'Amico et al. 2012) successfully predicted the strong motions of the Chi-Chi earthquake.
But on that fateful Friday, when the North American plate slid over the Pacific plate along a subduction zone running 130km (80 miles) off the Pacific coast of northern Japan, the shock leapt from the first segment to a second and on to a third, extending the fault zone some 400km and increasing its intensity more than 30-fold.
According to nonlinear representation via a gain scheduling interpolation method (successfully used in the control design even with fast varying parameters), the design is performed by extending robust fault isolation filter methods in LTI systems to nonlinear systems.
To modify the fault length, we extended the fault along the boundary between the subducting Philippine sea plate and the overriding plate as proposed by Cabinet Office (2013) (Fig. 6c).
In the TiC grains particularly of the cellular reaction layer, a high density of widely extending stacking faults of the order of 100 nm is observed and on these faults in many instances small Ti5Si3 precipitates are present.
According to the distribution of aftershocks (Fig. 1b), the seismogenic fault of this earthquake may be a blind fault extending to the northwest of the Huya Fault or the Tazang Fault northeast of the epicenter.
Secondly, we show how the design model can be modularly extended with fault models that represent random faults (e.g. radiation) leading to bit flips in the component under design (resembling FMEA), and transient or permanent faults in the rest of the environment (corrupting inputs to the component or jeopardising the effect of output signals that control the environment).
The proposed fault isolation architecture is an important tool to support maintenance services and be extended to fault tolerant controllers.
In particular, we want to extend the fault detection algorithm to the problems continuous in time.
This paper extends a Fault Diagnosis (FD) method developed for regular LTI systems to polytopic LPV descriptor systems.
The analysis extends the Fault Tolerant Layered Queueing Model to account for propagation of knowledge of the system state in the management sub-architecture.
