Dynamic Weakening by Acoustic Fluidization during Stick-Slip Motion by Giacco, F., Saggese, L., de Arcangelis, L., Lippiello, E., Pica Ciamarra, Massimo

“…Here we validate this mechanism via the numerical investigation of a granular fault model system. We find that the stick-slip dynamics is affected only by perturbations applied at a characteristic frequency corresponding to oscillations normal to the fault, leading to gradual dynamical weakening as failure is approaching. …”

Co-seismic ruptures of the 12 May 2008, Ms 8.0 Wenchuan earthquake, Sichuan : East–west crustal shortening on oblique, parallel thrusts along the eastern edge of Tibet by Liu-Zeng, J., Zhang, Z., Wen, L., Sun, J., Xing, X., Hu, G., Xu, Q., Zeng, L., Ding, L., Ji, C., Hudnut, K. W., van der Woerd, J., Tapponnier, Paul

“…Field investigation shows clear surface breaks along two of the main branches of the NE-trending Longmen Shan thrust fault system. The principal rupture, on the NW-dipping Beichuan fault, displays nearly equal amounts of thrust and right-lateral slip. …”

Development of prognosis scheme for permanent magnet synchronous motor by Chia, Yee Hon

“…As such the need to operate long hours, one of the main concerns was fault-related issue. This project’s goal is to develop a prognosis scheme for PMSM that would be used to predict the condition of the machine in the event when an inter-turn fault has occurred.…”

Diverse routing in networks with shared risk link groups by Low, Kheng Keong.

“…Survivability is the capability of a network in maintaining continuous service in the presence of faults within the network. Survivable routing of a connection typically involves the computations of a working path and its backups, such that when faults occur in the working path, the connection could be rerouted to backup solutions and hence not be seriously affected or interrupted. …”

Tectono-stratigraphic evolution of the foreland fold-and-thrust belt of the United Arab Emirates by Abdelmaksoud, A, Ali, MY, Searle, MP

“…The Permian-Jurassic NW-SE oriented rift faults were reactivated as thrust faults during the Late Cretaceous ophiolite obduction and late Oligocene-Miocene continental collision. …”

Lateral offsets and revised dates of large prehistoric earthquakes at Pallett creek, Southern California by Sieh, Kerry

“…Recent excavation and new radiocarbon dates of sediments at Pallett Creek are the basis for new conclusionsr egarding the late Holocene history of the San Andreas fault. Systematicd issectiono f a 50-m-long, 15-m-wide, 5-m-deep volume of earth, centered on the fault, enables documentation in three dimensions of fault patterns, lateral offsets, and vertical deformation associated with large earthquakes of the past. …”

Clustering-based solutions for energy efficiency, adaptability and resilience in IoT networks by Shivaraman, Nitin

“…While the literature on time synchronization addresses energy efficiency and adaptability partially, none of the solutions provide resilience to faults. Therefore, we design a novel time synchronization solution C-sync, that is fault-resilient and adaptable while maintaining microsecond (μs) accuracy. …”

Information pollution and the war in Gaza: implications for Singapore by Wong, Yasmine, Haciyakupoglu, Gulizar

“…Besides demonstrating various disinformation types and tactics, there is also the increased resonance of certain disinformation narratives as they overlap and impact on societal sensitivities and identity-based fault lines. These are challenges for Singapore, as societal fault lines present vulnerabilities for disinformation penetration, ultimately affecting social cohesion.…”

Reliable and reconfigurable computing research under SUG14/06 by Mcloughlin, Ian.

“…The central thesis of this research is toward the concept of reliability through redundancy for computational systems: in order to achieve a sufficiently fault-tolerant system, given sufficiently many computers an a sufficiently reliable connection strategy, there exists an arrangement that will satisfy the fault tolerance requirement. …”
