Grid unbalanced faults can cause core saturation of power transformer and produce lower-order harmonics. These issues increase the electrical stress of power electronic devices and can cause a tripping of an entire HVDC system. In this paper, based on the positive-sequence and negative-sequence impedance model of a VSC-HVDC system as seen from the point of common connection (PCC), the resonance problem is analyzed and the factors determining the resonant frequency are obtained. Furthermore, to suppress over-voltage and over-current during resonance, a novel method using a virtual harmonic resistor is proposed. The virtual harmonic resistor emulates the role of a resistor connected in series with the commutating inductor without influencing the active and reactive power control. Simulation results in PSCAD/EMTDC show that the proposed control strategy can suppress resonant over-voltage and over-current. In addition, it can be seen that the proposed strategy improves the safety of the VSC-HVDC system under unbalanced faults.

One of the obstacles for a magnetic bearing to be used in the wide range of industrial applications is the failure modes associated with magnetic bearings, which we don't expect for conventional passive bearings. These failure modes include electric power outage, power amplifier faults, position sensor faults, and the malfunction of controllers. Fault-tolerant magnetic bearing systems have been proposed so that the system can operate in spite of some faults in the system. In this paper, we designed a fault-tolerant magnetic bearing system for a turbo-molecular vacuum pump. The system can cope with the actuator/amplifier faults which are the most common faults in a magnetic bearing system. We implemented the existing fault-tolerant algorithms to experimentally prove the adequacy of the algorithms for industrial applications. As it turns out, the system can operate even with three simultaneously failing poles out of eight actuator poles.

In the southeastern part of the Korean Peninsula, the Yangsan Fault, an active fault zone, has developed. Many earthquakes occur around these faults, and the possibility of earthquakes occurring along the branch faults is being discussed. On the other hand, the Yeongdeok Fault is reported in Yeongdeok-gun, which is the northern part of the Yangsan fault. In this study, goemorphic characteristics of a set faults found on the outcrop of the gentle slope of the coast of Byeonggok-myeon were analyzed and granulometric and geochemical characteristics of sediments and other materials, including fault gouges were analyzed. The outcrop of Byeonggok-myeon is the part of the fault core and can be divided into two parts. Theses fault are formed on the upper part of the Mesozoic bedrock and the tertiary sedimentary layer of red sand-supported clasts are covered in several sedimentary units. The faults were normal fault sets, and a number of vertical cracks were developed, and glossy surfaces were observed in the fault area. It appears that these faults have occurred after alluvial deposition had been formed. In the case of samples from fault gouges, there were differences in particle size and geochemical characteristics from the surrounding area.

한반도는 주변의 북중국, 일본과 같이 지구조적 활동이 활발한 지역들에 비해 상대적으로 안정된 것으로 알려져 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 한반도 남동부 지역을 중심으로 지속적으로 보고되고 있는 제4기 단층의 존재는 한반도의 신기 지체구조 운동의 성격을 본질적이고 구체적으로 이해할 필요가 있음을 시사한다. 경주시 양남면 일대에서 확인된 수렴단층과 읍천단층은 그 최종 운동 시기가 제4기 후기로 확인되고 있어 현생 지구조 체계 하에서 발생하고 있는 지각 변형 사건임을 분명히 지시해 주고 있다. 이들 단층운동과 관련된 동-서 방향의 최대 압축 응력은 인도-호주판과 유라시아 판의 충돌 응력이 원거리에 전파되는 과정에서 발생하는 것으로 이해된다. 특징적으로 한반도 남동부 지역의 제4기 단층들은 반복적 재활성 가능성이 크므로 잠재적 지진 재해에 대비해야 할 것으로 판단되며, 특히 본 연구는 연구 지역 내에 위치하고 있는 원자력 발전소 인근의 지진 안정성에 관한 중요한 단서를 제공하고 있다.

The probabilistic seismic hazard analysis for engineering needs several active fault parameters as input data. Fault slip rates, the segmentation model for each fault, and the date of the most recent large earthquake in seismic hazard analysis are the critical pieces of information required to characterize behavior of the faults. Slip rates provide a basis for calculating earthquake recurrence intervals. Segmentation models define potential rupture lengths and are inputs to earthquake magnitude. The most recent event is used in time-dependent probability calculations. These data were assembled by expert source-characterization groups consisting of geologists, geophysicists, and seismologists evaluating the information available for earth fault. The procedures to prepare inputs for seismic hazard are illustrated with possible segmentation scenarios of capable fault models and the seismic hazards are evaluated to see the implication of considering capable faults models.

The parameters of the Korean earthquake have been determined by the manual method, which results in consuming more time and more errors. In this study we used HYPO71PC to determine earthquake parameters and to identify unknown active faults and lineaments in South Korea. The epicenters determined by the new computer technique are almost identical with the manual method of Korea Meteorological Agency. It is also found that most of epicenters are coincident with unknown faults that are defined as the un-determined faults on the tectonic map of Korea, and/or structural lineaments in South Korea.

As commonly known, sensor errors and faulty signals may potentially lead structures in vibration to catastrophic failures. This paper presents a new approach to deal with sensor errors/faults in vibration control of structures by using the Fault detection and isolation (FDI) technique. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach, a space truss structure with semi-active devices such as Magneto-Rheological (MR) damper is used as an example. To address the problem, a Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) based fixed-order $H_{\infty}$ FDI filter is introduced and designed. Modeling errors are treated as uncertainties in the FDI filter design to verify the robustness of the proposed FDI filter. Furthermore, an innovative Fuzzy Fault Tolerant Controller (FFTC) has been developed for this space truss structure model to preserve the pre-specified performance in the presence of sensor errors or faults. Simulation results have demonstrated that the proposed FDI filter is capable of detecting and isolating sensor errors/faults and actuator faults e.g., accelerometers and MR dampers, and the proposed FFTC can maintain the structural vibration suppression in faulty conditions.

The Rann of Kachchh in Gujarat in the Western part of India is seismically the most active area outside Himalayan Belt. Several severe earthquakes of which the 1819 Rann of Kachchh and 2001 Bhuj Earthquakes are the severest recorded have rocked the region. This paper is an attempt to make a comparative study of the 1819,1844 and 2001 earthquakes. The study of 1819 and 1944 earthquakes is based on secondary accounts while 2001 Bhuj earthquake is based on remote Sensing. From a comparative study of the three earthquakes many interesting conclusions can be drawn. These earthquakes have been the result of accumulation of stress caused due to the collision of Indian Plate with the Eurasian Plate, which is continuously moving northwards. The earthquakes have been felt over large part of the Indian Sub-continent. These have resulted in creation of several faults that have activated periodically. Prominent of them are the Allah Bund Fault, Manfara Fault and Budharmora Fault. These are strike slip faults that get periodically activated. In future too these faults are going to be the most vulnerable to any seismic activity with the probability of high intensity earthquakes occurring along them in future too.

As a result of active geological investigation of faults in Korea, many Quaternary faults have been identified and some of them were judged to have potential to generate earthquakes. Those faults need to be considered as additional seismic sources in the seismic hazard analysis. When a fault is introduced as a new source, the earthquakes generated by the fault should be removed from the area sources that include any part of the fault, to avoid double counting. In practice, however, double counting cannot completely be avoided as the complete separation of the fault-generated earthquakes from the area sources is impossible due to uncertainties related to the earthquake location, subsurface structures of faults, etc. When a new fault source is introduced, the only constraint is the invariance of earthquake frequency. The maximum earthquake and the Richter-b value should also be subject to change, but there are no competent approaches to estimate the change due to incomplete separation of earthquakes. To gain insight into the effect of a new fault source, an example calculation of the seismic hazard were carried out. The example calculation shows that addition of a new fault source centers seismic hazard around the fault source.

다중 채널 탄성파 반사 자료 및 시추공 자료 분석을 통하여 북부 오키나와트러프의 구조 발달을 연구하였다. 전체적인 구조 발달 형태는 기반암 내부까지 발달한 리스트릭 단층과 리스트릭 단층으로 경계 지워지는 일련의 반지구 구조와 경사진 단층 블록으로 특징 지워진다. 대부분의 반지구 구조와 경사진 단층 블록은 오키나와트러프의 축 방향인 북북동-남남서 방향으로 발달하여 있으며 트랜스퍼 단층이 북서-남동 방향으로 발달하고 있다. 퇴적 시퀀스에 대한 구조 및 층서 분석을 통하여 북부 오키나와트러프의 열개 작용 발달 단계를 연구하였는데 그 결과 열개 작용은 후기 마이오세에 시작한 것으로 추정되며 전기 플라이오세 시기에 가장 활발한 것으로 해석된다. 단층 블록과 반지구 구조와 같은 대부분의 열개 구조들은 이 시기에 형성되었다. 후기 플라이오세부터 열개 작용이 약해지는 것으로 보이나 경사진 단층 블록의 경계부에 발달한 리스트릭 단층이 플라이스토세 퇴적층까지 발달한 것을 보면 열개 작용이 최근까지 진행되고 있을 가능성이 있다.
