Based on Coulomb failure criterion and Byerlee’s frictional sliding criterion, this paper has indicated quantitative geometric relationships between the pre-existing fault and the local induced principal stress axes caused by the rejuvenation of the pre-existing fault. For a hidden pre-existing fault with some cohesion, the angles between the local induced principal stress axes and the pre-existing fault quantitatively vary with the applied stress and the cohesion coefficient, the ratio of the thickness of the cover layer to the thickness of the whole wrench body, whether transpressional or transtensional wrenches occur. For a surface pre-existing fault with zero cohesion, the angles between the pre-existing fault and the local induced principal stress axes are related to the rock inner frictional angle regardless of both the applied stress and the cohesion coefficient where transpressional wrenches occur, and the local induced maximum principal stress axis is identical with the applied maximum principal stress axis where transtensional wrenches occur. Therefore, the geometric relationships between the pre-existing faults and their related fractures are defined, because the local induced principal stress axes determine the directions of the related fractures. The results can be applied to pre-existing weak fabrics. They can help to understand and analyze wrench structures in outcrops or subsurface areas. They are of significance in petroleum exploration.展开更多

However, the effects of pre-existing fracture on ground deformation are not fully understood. In this work, six centrifuge tests are reported to investigate the influence of pre-existing fracture on ground deformation induced by normal faulting in sand, clay and nine-layered soil with interbedded sand and clay layers. Shear box tests were conducted to develop a filter paper technique, which was adopted in soil model preparation to simulate the effects of pre-existing fracture in centrifuge tests. Centrifuge test results show that ground deformation mechanism in clay, sand and nine-layered soil strata is classified as a stationary zone, a shearing zone and a rigid body zone. Inclination of the strain localization is governed by the dilatancy of soil material. Moreover, the pre-existing fracture provides a preferential path for ground deformation and results in a scarp at the ground surface in sand. On the contrary, fault ruptures are observed at the ground surface in clay and nine-layered soil strata.展开更多

This paper discusses the relationship between the pre-existing faults and the newly formed Coulomb shear fractures regarding pore fluid pressures. Based on the Coulomb fracture criterion and Byerlee frictional sliding criterion, an equation relating pore pressure coefficient (λe), minimum dip angle (αe) of the reactive pre-existing fault and the intersection point depth (z) between the pre-existing fault and a newly formed Coulomb shear fault in an extensional basin, is established in this paper. This equation enhanced the understanding on the reactivation of pre-existing faults and can be used to calculate paleo-pore fluid pressures. The bigger the pore fluid pressure in a pre-existing fault is, the less the minimum dip angle for a reactive pre-existing fault will be. The minimum dip angle is less in shallow area than that in deep area. This will be of significance in petroleum exploration and development.展开更多

The co-seismic rupture structures are almost duplicated on the pre-existing fault traces of the Kunlun fault. The deformational characteristics of the co-seismic surface ruptures reveal that the earthquake had a nearly pure strike-slip mechanism. The geologic and topographic evidence clearly shows that spatialdistributions of the co-seismic surface ruptures are restricted by the pre-existing geological structures of the Kunlun fault.展开更多

文摘The three-dimensional(3D)geometry of a fault is a critical control on earthquake nucleation,dynamic rupture,stress triggering,and related seismic hazards.Therefore,a 3D model of an active fault can significantly improve our understanding of seismogenesis and our ability to evaluate seismic hazards.Utilising the SKUA GoCAD software,we constructed detailed seismic fault models for the 2021 M_(S)6.4 Yangbi earthquake in Yunnan,China,using two sets of relocated earthquake catalogs and focal mechanism solutions following a convenient 3D fault modeling workflow.Our analysis revealed a NW-striking main fault with a high-angle SW dip,accompanied by two branch faults.Interpretation of one dataset revealed a single NNW-striking branch fault SW of the main fault,whereas the other dataset indicated four steep NNE-striking segments with a left-echelon pattern.Additionally,a third ENE-striking short fault was identified NE of the main fault.In combination with the spatial distribution of pre-existing faults,our 3D fault models indicate that the Yangbi earthquake reactivated pre-existing NW-and NE-striking fault directions rather than the surface-exposed Weixi-Qiaohou-Weishan Fault zone.The occurrence of the Yangbi earthquake demonstrates that the reactivation of pre-existing faults away from active fault zones,through either cascade or conjugate rupture modes,can cause unexpected moderate-large earthquakes and severe disasters,necessitating attention in regions like southeast Xizang,which have complex fault systems.

文摘The reactivation of pre-existing faults is a common phenomenon in a basin. This paper discusses the relationship between the pre-existing faults and the newly formed Coulomb shear fractures regarding pore fluid pressures. Based on the Coulomb fracture criterion and Byerlee frictional sliding criterion, an equation relating pore pressure coefficient (λe), minimum dip angle (αe) of the reactive pre-existing fault and the intersection point depth (z) between the pre-existing fault and a newly formed Coulomb shear fault in an extensional basin, is established in this paper. This equation enhanced the understanding on the reactivation of pre-existing faults and can be used to calculate paleo-pore fluid pressures. The bigger the pore fluid pressure in a pre-existing fault is, the less the minimum dip angle for a reactive pre-existing fault will be. The minimum dip angle is less in shallow area than that in deep area. This will be of significance in petroleum exploration and development.
文摘Field investigations allow to constrain the co-seismic surface rupture zone of ～400 km with a strike-slip up to 16.3 m associated with the 2001 Mw 7.8 Central Kunlun earthquake that occurred along the western segmentof the Kunlun fault, northern Tibet. The co-seismic rupture structures are almost duplicated on the pre-existing fault traces of the Kunlun fault. The deformational characteristics of the co-seismic surface ruptures reveal that the earthquake had a nearly pure strike-slip mechanism. The geologic and topographic evidence clearly shows that spatialdistributions of the co-seismic surface ruptures are restricted by the pre-existing geological structures of the Kunlun fault.

文摘Polygonal fault systems(PFS),characterized by multi-directional fault patterns within layered sequences,are well-documented features in global continental margin basins.While the geometry and formation mechanisms of PFS have been extensively studied in the northern South China Sea,the PFS in the Zhongjiannan Basin(western South China Sea)remain relatively unexplored,with a lack of quantitative analysis regarding their propagation.This study addresses this gap by using high-resolution three-dimensional(3D)seismic data and conducting a quantitative fault analysis to thoroughly examine the planform,cross-sectional geometry,and evolution of PFS in the northern Zhongjiannan Basin.The absence of a dominant strike direction among these polygonal faults suggests that their evolution is not controlled by anisotropic stress.Our interpretation of seismic data,constrained by the spatial relationship among PFS,gullies,and pockmarks,indicates that PFS mainly developed within the Miocene strata,with their initiation occurring during the late Miocene.Furthermore,the PFS act as key conduits connecting gullies to pockmarks in this area.The formation and development of PFS may be primarily driven by thermally triggered processes within siliceous sediments.The necessary heat source is probably associated with the abundant submarine magmatism observed in the Zhongjiannan Basin.To reconstruct the regional geological history,a four-stage evolutionary model,incorporating the formation of PFS,is presented.This research significantly improves our understanding of the regional geological evolution of the Zhongjiannan Basin,providing critical insights into the initiation and development of PFS in the western South China Sea.

文摘The Guanxian-Anxian fault zone in the Longmen Shan,Sichuan,China,exhibits long-term creep-slip but ruptured during the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake,challenging the view that creeping faults rarely generate strong earthquakes.To investigate the transition from creep-slip to stick-slip,we analyzed fault rocks from the WFSD-3,using microstructural observations,XRD,μXRF,Raman spectroscopy,and quartz grain size statistics.Fault rocks show intense foliation,pressure-solution structures,and abundant clay minerals,reflecting long-term aseismic creep.At the interface between black and gray fault gouges at~1249.98 m,microstructures indicate stick-slip behavior,including truncated grains,angular fragments,and finer grain sizes.Here,clay content drops sharply while strong minerals(quartz,feldspar,calcite,dolomite)increase.Elemental mapping shows Al and K enriched in black gouge,whereas Ca and Si in gray gouge;Raman spectroscopy indicates possible graphitization;the finest quartz grains occur in black gouge.These features mark co-seismic principal slip zone of the Wenchuan earthquake.We propose that fluid-driven transformation of strong minerals into clays facilitates creep-slip,whereas localized precipitation of strong minerals strengthens the fault,causing stress accumulation and controlling the creep-slip to stick-slip transition.This mechanism has implications for reassessing seismic hazards of creeping faults.

文摘Accurate fault modeling is essential for understanding earthquake rupture processes and improving seismic hazard assessment.We present a unified framework that integrates geodetic data with multidisciplinary constraints,including relocated aftershocks,geological observations,and geophysical information,to adaptively model fault geometry and slip in diverse scenarios such as multi-segment and multi-event ruptures.The framework combines adaptive fault construction with a scenario-driven Bayesian joint inversion approach.Fault geometries are first built from prior constraints,such as surface ruptures and aftershocks,and then refined through probabilistic inference when such data are inadequate.To enhance computational efficiency,we introduce a Sequential Monte Carlo Fukuda-Johnson(SMC-FJ)strategy.This separates nonlinear parameters-including geometry,data weights,and smoothing factors-from linear slip parameters,which are conditionally solved via constrained least squares.Geometry updates follow a hierarchical adjustment scheme based on point,line,and structural units,enabling flexibility across rupture complexities.Synthetic tests and four case studies,including the 2022 Menyuan,2023 Türkiye,2022 Luding,and 2019 Ridgecrest earthquakes,demonstrate robustness under various constraints.For the Menyuan earthquake,full Bayesian inversion confirms that the fault geometry constrained by relocated aftershocks is highly accurate and needs only minor adjustment to match the observed surface deformation.The results further show that gradual changes in fault strike and dip modulated rupture arrest and postseismic stress accumulation,highlighting the critical role of inherited geometric structure in controlling rupture termination and delayed seismic activation.

文摘With the rapid development of large-scale offshore wind farms,efficient and reliable power transmission systems are urgently needed.Hybrid high-voltage direct current(HVDC)configurations combining a diode rectifier unit(DRU)and a modular multilevel converter(MMC)have emerged as a promising solution,offering advantages in cost-effectiveness and control capability.However,the uncontrollable nature of the DRU poses significant challenges for systemstability under offshore AC fault conditions,particularly due to its inability to provide fault current or voltage support.This paper investigates the offshore AC fault characteristics and fault ride-through(FRT)strategy of a hybrid offshore wind power transmission system based on a diode rectifier unit DRU and MMC.First,the dynamic response of the hybrid system under offshore symmetrical three-phase faults is analyzed.It is demonstrated that due to the unidirectional conduction nature of the DRU,its AC current rapidly drops to zero during faults,and the fault current is solely contributed by the wind turbine generators(WTGs)and wind farm MMC(WFMMC).Based on this analysis,a coordinated FRT strategy is proposed,which combines a segmented current limiting control for the wind-turbine(WT)grid-side converters(GSCs)and a constant AC current control for the WFMMC.The strategy ensures effective voltage support during the fault and prevents MMC current saturation during fault recovery,enabling fast and stable system restoration.Electromagnetic transient simulations in PSCAD/EMTDC verify the feasibility of the proposed fault ride-through strategy.

文摘The Yingxiu-Beichuan fault zone(YBFZ)has long been active and experienced repeated large earthquakes.The physicochemical properties of the deep fault zone(>1000 m)are the key to understanding the deformation mechanism of large earthquakes.This study uses rock magnetic,microstructural,and geochemical analyses of representative samples exposed in FZ1681 within the Wenchuan Earthquake Fault Scientific Drilling borehole 2(WFSD-2)cores.Fault gouge and fault breccia have higher magnetic susceptibility values than wall rocks,and they contain abundant paramagnetic minerals and small quantities of magnetite and monoclinic pyrrhotite.The magnetite and monoclinic pyrrhotite in the fault gouge were mainly formed by coseismic frictional heating,indicating that large earthquakes with frictional heating temperatures of~500-900℃once occurred in the YBFZ.The seismogenic and coseismic environment was reducing with a relatively high sulfur content.The monoclinic pyrrhotite in the fault breccia was formed mainly by low-temperature hydrothermal fluid.This indicates that the fault zone experienced reducing and low-temperature(<400℃)hydrothermal fluid with a relatively high sulfur content after the earthquake.The YBFZ,which experiences frequent large earthquakes,is weakly oxidizing environment at different depths,but the effect of the low-temperature hydrothermal fluid is weaker at depth.
文摘Grid-Forming(GFM)converters are prone to fault-induced overcurrent and power angle instability during grid fault-induced voltage sags.To address this,this paper develops a multi-loop coordinated fault ridethrough(FRT)control strategy based on a power outer loop and voltage-current inner loops,aiming to enhance the stability and current-limiting capability of GFM converters during grid fault conditions.During voltage sags,the GFM converter’s voltage source behavior is maintained by dynamically adjusting the reactive power reference to provide voltage support,thereby effectively suppressing the steady-state component of the fault current.To address the active power imbalance induced by voltage sags,a dynamic active power reference correction method based on apparent power is designed to mitigate power angle oscillations and limit transient current.Moreover,an adaptive virtual impedance loop is implemented to enhance dynamic transient current-limiting performance during the fault initiation phase.This approach improves the responsiveness of the inner loop and ensures safe system operation under various fault severities.Under asymmetric fault conditions,a negative-sequence reactive current compensation strategy is incorporated to further suppress negative-sequence voltage and improve voltage symmetry.The proposed control scheme enables coordinated operation of multiple control objectives,including voltage support,current suppression,and power angle stability,across different fault scenarios.Finally,MATLAB/Simulink simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy,showcasing its superior performance in current limiting and power angle stability,thereby significantly enhancing the system’s fault ride-through capability.

文摘This paper investigates the reliability of internal marine combustion engines using an integrated approach that combines Fault Tree Analysis(FTA)and Bayesian Networks(BN).FTA provides a structured,top-down method for identifying critical failure modes and their root causes,while BN introduces flexibility in probabilistic reasoning,enabling dynamic updates based on new evidence.This dual methodology overcomes the limitations of static FTA models,offering a comprehensive framework for system reliability analysis.Critical failures,including External Leakage(ELU),Failure to Start(FTS),and Overheating(OHE),were identified as key risks.By incorporating redundancy into high-risk components such as pumps and batteries,the likelihood of these failures was significantly reduced.For instance,redundant pumps reduced the probability of ELU by 31.88%,while additional batteries decreased the occurrence of FTS by 36.45%.The results underscore the practical benefits of combining FTA and BN for enhancing system reliability,particularly in maritime applications where operational safety and efficiency are critical.This research provides valuable insights for maintenance planning and highlights the importance of redundancy in critical systems,especially as the industry transitions toward more autonomous vessels.

文摘Knowledge graphs,which combine structured representation with semantic modeling,have shown great potential in knowledge expression,causal inference,and automated reasoning,and are widely used in fields such as intelligent question answering,decision support,and fault diagnosis.As high-speed train systems become increasingly intelligent and interconnected,fault patterns have grown more complex and dynamic.Knowledge graphs offer a promising solution to support the structured management and real-time reasoning of fault knowledge,addressing key requirements such as interpretability,accuracy,and continuous evolution in intelligent diagnostic systems.However,conventional knowledge graph construction relies heavily on domain expertise and specialized tools,resulting in high entry barriers for non-experts and limiting their practical application in frontline maintenance scenarios.To address this limitation,this paper proposes a fault knowledge modeling approach for high-speed trains that integrates structured logic diagrams with knowledge graphs.The method employs a seven-layer logic structure—comprising fault name,applicable vehicles,diagnostic logic,signal parameters,verification conditions,fault causes,and emergency measures—to transform unstructured knowledge into a visual and hierarchical representation.A semantic mapping mechanism is then used to automatically convert logic diagrams into machine-interpretable knowledge graphs,enabling dynamic reasoning and knowledge reuse.Furthermore,the proposed method establishes a three-layer architecture—logic structuring,knowledge graph transformation,and dynamic inference—to bridge human-expert logic with machinebased reasoning.Experimental validation and system implementation demonstrate that this approach not only improves knowledge interpretability and inference precision but also significantly enhances modeling efficiency and system maintainability.It provides a scalable and adaptable solution for intelligent operation and maintenance platforms in the high-speed rail domain.

文摘The critical components of gas turbines suffer from prolonged exposure to factors such as thermal oxidation,mechanical wear,and airflow disturbances during prolonged operation.These conditions can lead to a series of issues,including mechanical faults,air path malfunctions,and combustion irregularities.Traditional modelbased approaches face inherent limitations due to their inability to handle nonlinear problems,natural factors,measurement uncertainties,fault coupling,and implementation challenges.The development of artificial intelligence algorithms has provided an effective solution to these issues,sparking extensive research into data-driven fault diagnosis methodologies.The review mechanism involved searching IEEE Xplore,ScienceDirect,and Web of Science for peerreviewed articles published between 2019 and 2025,focusing on multi-fault diagnosis techniques.A total of 220 papers were identified,with 123 meeting the inclusion criteria.This paper provides a comprehensive review of diagnostic methodologies,detailing their operational principles and distinctive features.It analyzes current research hotspots and challenges while forecasting future trends.The study systematically evaluates the strengths and limitations of various fault diagnosis techniques,revealing their practical applicability and constraints through comparative analysis.Furthermore,this paper looks forward to the future development direction of this field and provides a valuable reference for the optimization and development of gas turbine fault diagnosis technology in the future.

文摘Deep learning-based wind turbine blade fault diagnosis has been widely applied due to its advantages in end-to-end feature extraction.However,several challenges remain.First,signal noise collected during blade operation masks fault features,severely impairing the fault diagnosis performance of deep learning models.Second,current blade fault diagnosis often relies on single-sensor data,resulting in limited monitoring dimensions and ability to comprehensively capture complex fault states.To address these issues,a multi-sensor fusion-based wind turbine blade fault diagnosis method is proposed.Specifically,a CNN-Transformer Coupled Feature Learning Architecture is constructed to enhance the ability to learn complex features under noisy conditions,while a Weight-Aligned Data Fusion Module is designed to comprehensively and effectively utilize multi-sensor fault information.Experimental results of wind turbine blade fault diagnosis under different noise interferences show that higher accuracy is achieved by the proposed method compared to models with single-source data input,enabling comprehensive and effective fault diagnosis.

文摘To ensure the safe and stable operation of rotating machinery,intelligent fault diagnosis methods hold significant research value.However,existing diagnostic approaches largely rely on manual feature extraction and expert experience,which limits their adaptability under variable operating conditions and strong noise environments,severely affecting the generalization capability of diagnostic models.To address this issue,this study proposes a multimodal fusion fault diagnosis framework based on Mel-spectrograms and automated machine learning(AutoML).The framework first extracts fault-sensitive Mel time–frequency features from acoustic signals and fuses them with statistical features of vibration signals to construct complementary fault representations.On this basis,automated machine learning techniques are introduced to enable end-to-end diagnostic workflow construction and optimal model configuration acquisition.Finally,diagnostic decisions are achieved by automatically integrating the predictions of multiple high-performance base models.Experimental results on a centrifugal pump vibration and acoustic dataset demonstrate that the proposed framework achieves high diagnostic accuracy under noise-free conditions and maintains strong robustness under noisy interference,validating its efficiency,scalability,and practical value for rotating machinery fault diagnosis.

文摘This study examines a 1.32 m thick sediment sequence from the Cunge sag pond in the Litang Basin,eastern Tibetan Plateau,to assess the seismicity of the Litang fault during the Holocene.High-resolution geochemical,grain size,magnetic susceptibility,and total organic carbon indicators are employed to obtain a continuous record of changes in elemental,physical,and biological properties within the profile to identify seismic events.The seismic event layer generally comprises two sedimentary rhythms:a lower coarse sand layer and an upper fine silt-clay layer.These layers represent rapid deposition associated with fault activity(Earthquake A)and slower deposition during calm periods or earthquake recurrence intervals(Seismic interval A).Through six^(14)C dating,five seismic events have been identified in the Cunge sag pond section:E1(before 3955 a B.P.),E2(3713-3703 a B.P.),E3(3492-3392 a B.P.),E4(2031-1894 a B.P.),and E5(1384-1321 a B.P.).E1-E4 had shown a good consistency with the paleo-earthquake recorded by the trench,and whereas E5 is a newly identified seismic event,further improving the continuous earthquake sequence of the Litang fault.Based on existing trench data and the seismic event record from the Cunge sag pond,a total of 11 paleo-earthquakes are identified along the Litang fault since the Holocene.The paleo-earthquake activity of the Litang fault exhibits a clustered pattern,with recurrence intervals of both long periods(1000 a)and short periods(500 a).Since 5000 a,the interval between strong earthquake recurrences gradually decreases,indicating an increasing risk of strong earthquakes along the Litang fault.This study presents a continuous record of paleo-earthquakes along the Litang fault,eastern Tibetan Plateau,and can enhance the understanding of regional seismic activity.
文摘The Almus Fault Zone(AFZ)is one of the major splay faults of the North Anatolian Fault Zone(NAFZ)and is important for understanding its tectonic features and assessing regional seismic hazards.This research presents the integration of morphometric indices to quantitatively assess the spatial variation of tectonic activity along the AFZ.The AFZ is an active fault with both strike-slip and normal fault components and consists of two main branches,Mercimekdağı-Çamdere Fault(MÇF)and Tokat Fault(TF)segments.This study aims to assess the relative tectonic activity of the AFZ using various morphometric indices,based on a 10 m resolution DEM,with the aid of ArcGIS and MATLAB software.For this purpose,morphometric indices such as hypsometric integral(HI:0.35-0.65),mountain front sinuosity(Smf:1.3-1.44),valley floor width-height ratio(Vf:0.15-2.28),asymmetry factor(AF:23-77),drainage basin shape(Bs:1.13-6.10)and normalized steepness index(ksn:1-498)were applied to 53 drainage basins.When the Smf and mean Vf indices results were evaluated,it was calculated that the uplift ratio of the region was more than 0.5 mm/yr.The spatial distribution of the relative tectonic activity(Iat)of the area was revealed by combining the obtained morphometric indices analysis results.According to the Iat result,it was concluded that the MercimekdağıÇamdere Fault and Tokat Fault segments have high tectonic activity,but the Mercimekdağı-Çamdere Fault segment has higher tectonic activity.The results obtained were also confirmed by field observations.This research provides valuable information for the evaluation of tectonic activity in drainage systems controlled by splay faults.

文摘While injection-induced seismicity has been widely studied,its implications for CO_(2)geological storage require reevaluation due to distinct fluid-rock interactions.This study develops a coupled hydromechanical model incorporating rate-and-state friction laws to investigate fault reactivation mechanisms during early-stage CO_(2)injection.The competing effects of pore pressure diffusion and fluid pressurization are systematically investigated,considering three key factors:permeability variations within fault damage zones,normal stress variation coefficients,and injection parameters.Numerical simulations reveal that slower CO_(2)migration causes limited pressure perturbation(<0.3 MPa over 15 d)compared to single-phase fluid injection.Fluid pressurization enhances fault strength and delays reactivation,though this stabilizing effect diminishes in low-permeability damage zones.Highly permeable damage zones promote larger rupture areas despite strengthening from pressurization,as reduced effective stress accelerates failure.Paradoxically,while fluid pressurization increases fault strength,it simultaneously elevates seismic risk through amplified stress drops during slip events.Temporal analysis shows that fluid pressurization dominates initial fault response,while sustained pore pressure diffusion ultimately drives reactivation.Increased normal stress variation coefficients and injection rates accelerate localized rupture initiation but restrict propagation due to non-critically stressed states.This discrepancy demonstrates that regions with positive Coulomb failure stress changes do not correlate well with actual slip zones.These findings highlight the critical interplay between transient pressurization effects and progressive pressure diffusion during early CO_(2)injection phases,providing crucial insights for seismic risk management in CO_(2)storage projects.
