Earthquakes occur because fault friction weakens with increasing slip and slip rates. Since the slipping zones of faults are often fluid-saturated, thermo-mechanical pressurization of pore fluids has been invoked as a mechanism responsible for frictional d ...
Slow slip events (SSEs) in subduction zones have been observed in the last decade with continuous GPS stations. Some of them could be related to the lateral segmentation of subduction interface that seems to be a critical parameter for the propagation of l ...
Injection or withdrawal of fluid at depth may trigger felt seismicity. Such human-induced seismicity is a key environmental concern related to the exploitation of natural underground resources. Thus, understanding how to avoid triggering felt earthquakes p ...
Agreement problems and their solutions are essential to fault-tolerant distributed computing. Over the years, different assumptions on failures have been considered, but most of these assumptions were focusing on either processes or links. In contrast, we ...
This paper presents a new method based on the electromagnetic time-reversal (EMTR) theory for locating faults in power networks. The applicability of the EMTR technique to locate faults is first discussed. Using the classical transmission-line equations in ...

This paper aims at proving the application of the fault location method based on the Electromagnetic Time Reversal (EMTR) to multi-terminal HVDC (MTDC) networks. In particular, the paper integrates the EMTR fault location technique with the protection sche ...
This paper deals with a novel Plug-and-Play (PnP) architecture for the control and monitoring of Large-Scale Systems (LSSs). The proposed approach integrates a distributed Model Predictive Control (MPC) strategy with a distributed Fault Detection (FD) arch ...

While it is widely recognized that fluids influence fault strength and earthquake nucleation, propagation and arrest, their effects on co-seismic sliding friction are only conjectured. To shed light on these effects, 55 high velocity (>1ms-1) friction e ...
The paper focuses on the extension to series-compensated multiconductor transmission lines of a new fault location method based on the Electromagnetic Time Reversal (EMTR) theory. The applicability of the EMTR theory to locate faults is first summarized. T ...
