Numerical Simulation of Coal Floor Fault Activation Influenced by Mining

By means of the numerical simulation software ANSYS, the activation regularity of coal floor faults caused by mining is simulated. The results indicate that the variation in horizontal, vertical and shear stresses, as well as the horizontal and vertical displacements in the upper and the lower fault blocks at the workface are almost identical. Influ- enced by mining of the floor rock, there are stress releasing and stress rising areas at the upper part and at the footwall of the fault. The distribution of stress is influenced by the fault so that the stress isolines are staggered by the fault face and the stress is focused on the rock seam around the two ends of the fault. But the influence in fault activation on the upper or the lower fault blocks of the workface is markedly different. When the workface is on the footwall of the fault, there is a horizontal tension stress area on the upper part of the fault; when the workface is on the upper part of the fault, it has a horizontal compressive stress area on the lower fault block. When the workface is at the lower fault block, the maximum vertical displacement is 5 times larger then when the workface is on the upper fault block, which greatly in- creases the chance of a fatal inrush of water from the coal floor.

Fault Ride-Through(FRT)Behavior in VSC-HVDC as Key Enabler of Transmission Systems Using SCADA Viewer Software

The world’s energy consumption and power generation demand will continue to rise.Furthermore,the bulk of the energy resources needed to satisfy the rising demand is far from the load centers.The aforementioned requires long-distance transmission systems and one way to accomplish this is to use high voltage direct current(HVDC)transmission systems.The main technical issues for HVDC transmission systems are loss of synchronism,variation of quadrature currents,amplitude,the inability of station 1(rectifier),and station 2(inverter)to either inject,or absorb active,or reactive power in the network in any circumstances(before a fault occurs,during having a fault in network and after a fault cleared),and the variations of power transfer capabilities.Additionally,faults impact power quality such as voltage dips and power line outage time.This paper presents a method of overcoming the aforementioned technical issues using voltage-source converter(VSC)based HVDC transmission systems with SCADA VIEWER software and dynamic grid simulator.The benefits include having a higher capacity transmission system and proposed best method for control of active and reactive power transfer capabilities.Simulation results obtained using MATLAB validated the experimental results from SCADA Viewer software.The results indicate that the station’s rectifier or inverter can either inject or absorb either active power or reactive power in any circumstance.Also,the reverse power flow under different modes of operation can ride through faults.At a 100.0%power transfer rate,the rectifier injected 775.0 W into the network.At a 0.0%power transfer rate,the rectifier injected 164.0 W into the network.At a-100.0%rated power,the rectifier injected 1264.0 W into the network and direction was also changed.

SEM Numerical Simulation of Vertical and Inclined Fault Zone Trapped Waves and Comparison of Their Wave Fields

Fault zone trapped waves （FZTWs） mainly travel along the fractured fault zone （FZ） which is of low velocity and high attenuation. FZTWs often carry significant information about a fault＇s internal structure, so it is important to understand their wave field characteristics for FZ structure inversion. Most previous simulations are based on vertical faults, while in this paper we implement the FZTW simulations on vertical or inclined faults and compare their wave fields in both time and frequency domains. The results show that the existence of fault zone and inclined angle of fault can significantly influence the features of waves near faults. In amplitude, a fault zone can generate a larger amplitude of waves. The velocity contrast between two wails of fault may lead to amplification of amplitudes in the low velocity fault wall. In frequency, a fault zone tends to influence the waves in the low frequency range. In a pattern of particle polarization of FZTWs, it tends to be single direction for vertical faults but fork to multiple directions for inclined faults, which might provide a new way to study the fault zone with FZTWs. These conclusions may be valuable for FZ structure inversion, and will enhance the knowledge on near-fault strong ground motions.

After the reasoning the

Fault Diagnosis for Non-linear System Based On Adaptive Fuzzy System

Although lots of valuable results for fault diagnosis based on model have been achieved in linear system, it is difficult to apply these results to non-linear system due to the difficulty of modeling the non-linear system by analysis. Adaptive Fuzzy system provides a way for solving this problem because it can approximate any non-linear system at any accuracy. The key for adaptive Fuzzy system to solve problem is its learning ability, so the authors present a learning algorithm for Adaptive fuzzy system, which can build the system's model by learning from the measurement data as well as experience knowledge with high accuracy. Furthermore, the experiment using the learning algorithm to model a servo-mechanism and to construct the fault diagnosis system based on the model is carried out, the results is very good.

随着芯片工艺的不断演进,数字芯片的规模急剧增加,测试成本进一步增加。目前先进的DFT技术已应用于大规模SoC芯片的测试,包括扫描路径设计、JTAG、ATPG(自动测试向量生成)等。但对于一些小规模集成电路,插入扫描链等测试电路会增加芯片面积并增加额外的功耗。对于这种芯片,功能case生成的pattern可用于检测制造缺陷和故障。因此,需要一些方法来验证覆盖率是否达到了目标。Verisium manager工具依靠Xcelium的故障仿真引擎和Jasper功能安全验证应用程序(FSV)可以解决这个问题。它为ATE(自动测试设备)pattern的覆盖率分析提供了一个新的思路。

Study on Electromagnetic Force and Vibration of Turbogenerator End Windings under Impact Load(Ⅱ): Analysis of Vibration of End Windings under Impact Load

On the basis of the study of transient eddy current field in the end region of turbogenerator and electromagnetic force of end region winding, this paper analyzes the electromagnetic vibration of the turbogenerator roundly. A 320 MW turbogenerator is taken as an example to specify the electromagnetic force of end region winding and therefore the vibration in the case that the generator is affected by impact load. Some conclusions are drawn on the basis of the specification. Vibration of windings under imaginary faults is simulated, so that the vibration law of the end winding of turbogenerator can be studied further. On the basis of this, the countermeasure against winding vibration can be advanced.

Efficient RT-Level Fault Diagnosis

Increasing IC densities necessitate diagnosis methodologies with enhanceddefect locating capabilities. Yet the computational effort expended in extracting diagnosticinformation and the stringent storage requirements constitute major concerns due to the tremendousnumber of faults in typical ICs. In this paper, we propose an RT-level diagnosis methodology capableof responding to these challenges. In the proposed scheme, diagnostic information is computed on agrouped fault effect basis, enhancing both the storage and the computational aspects. The faulteffect grouping criteria are identified based on a module structure analysis, improving thepropagation ability of the diagnostic information through RT modules. Experimental results show thatthe proposed methodology provides superior speed-ups and significant diagnostic informationcompression at no sacrifice in diagnostic resolution, compared to the existing gate-level diagnosisapproaches.

The true value simulation is necessary in the critical path tracing fault simulation algorithm.The critical and non-critical inputs can be known after the number of controlling and non-controlling inputs and the criticality of output of every gate are determined.Single output region(SOR)is defined for non-critical lines,so many other non-critical lines can be obtained before fault simulation.Then deductive fault simulation algorithm is used to compute the fault list for every possible critical line from bottom to top,which can greatly decrease the length of fault list and simulation time.The cross-section is defined to reduce the storage space.The experimental results are given at the end of the paper.
