Minkowski Distance Based Pilot Protection for Tie Lines Between Offshore Wind Farms and MMC
Offshore wind farms (OWFs) with modular multilevel converter high-voltage dc (MMC-HVdc) have become an important form of renewable energy utilization. However, if a fault occurs at the tie line between the MMC and the OWF, the fault steady-state current at ...
Piscataway2024Three-dimensional fluid-driven frictional ruptures: theory and applications
Fluid-driven frictional ruptures are important in a broad range of subsurface engineering technologies and natural earthquake-related phenomena. Some examples of subsurface operations where borehole fluid injections can induce frictional slip are deep geot ...
EPFL2023Nucleation, propagation, and scale dependence of laboratory frictional ruptures; implications for earthquake mechanics.
Earthquakes are natural phenomena that cause ground shaking and damage to people and infrastructures. Despite significant progress achieved in understanding how earthquakes start, propagate, and arrest, many aspects of their physics and mechanics remain no ...
EPFL2023Bounding the localized to ductile transition in porous rocks: implications for geo-reservoirs
Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Gabriel Gérard Dominique Meyer
Porous rocks have long been the focus of intense research driven by their importance in our society as host to our most essential resources (oil, gas, water, geothermal energy, etc), yet their rheology remains poorly understood. With increasing depth, poro ...
2023A review of time reversal-based methods applied to fault location in power networks
Mario Paolone, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Zhaoyang Wang, Reza Razzaghi
Electromagnetic time reversal (EMTR)-based methods have been applied to the problem of fault location in power networks since 2012. Over the past decade, considerable theoretical investigations have led to a continuous improvement of the EMTR method in ter ...
2023Long-term triggered seismicity on the Mosha fault by Damavand volcano, Iran: Implications on the seismic hazard of Tehran metropolis
The seismic history of the Mosha fault, the largest and most active fault of Eastern Tehran metropolis, and its relation to the Damavand active volcano, the highest mountain in the Middle East, is investigated. We deduce that the central Mosha, near the Da ...
2022Physical characterization of fault rocks within the Opalinus Clay formation
Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Christophe Nussbaum, Luis Felipe Orellana Espinoza
Near-surface disposal of radioactive waste in shales is a promising option to safeguard the population and environment. However, natural faults intersecting these geological formations can potentially affect the long-term isolation of the repositories. Thi ...
2022Fault Detection and Diagnosis with Imbalanced and Noisy Data: A Hybrid Framework for Rotating Machinery
Fault diagnosis plays an essential role in reducing the maintenance costs of rotating machinery manufacturing systems. In many real applications of fault detection and diagnosis, data tend to be imbalanced, meaning that the number of samples for some fault ...
MDPI2022On the Scale Dependence in the Dynamics of Frictional Rupture
Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Mathias Alexandre David Lebihain, François Xavier Thibault Passelègue, Federica Paglialunga
When an earthquake nucleates in the earth crust, the potential energy accumulated during the inter-seismic period is released into breakdown work, heat energy and radiated energy. Often the breakdown work is considered a seismological equivalent of the fra ...

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Alexis Alejandro Sáez Uribe
We investigate the quasi-static growth of a fluid-driven frictional shear crack that propagates in mixed mode (II+III) on a planar fault interface that separates two identical half-spaces of a three-dimensional solid. The fault interface is characterized b ...
