Fault Scarp Dating Tool - a MATLAB code for fault scarp dating using in-situ chlorine-36 supplemented with datasets of Yavansu and Kalafat faults.

ABSTRACT: We publish a MATLAB code used to analyze concentration profile of cosmogenic 36Cl accumulated in-situ through a rupture history of the fault scarps in western Turkey (Mozafari et al., 2019). The code is a version of the forward modeling Matlab code -Fault Scarp Dating Tool- (Tikhomirov, 2014). The code models a 36Cl profile accumulated in the fault scarp surface through a guessed rupture history, and compares the modeled and measured 36Cl profiles with statistical tests. Rupture histories are randomly generated in bounded solution space using Monte-Carlo method or optimized using Random Walk algorithm to achieve the best fit of the modeled and measured 36Cl profiles. The code has a user-friendly interface, a build-in help and an example of input data.

Multiple time-frequency curve extraction Matlab code and its application to automatic bearing fault diagnosis under time-varying speed conditions.

Project description:Vibration signal analysis is an important technique for bearing fault diagnosis. For bearings operating under constant rotational speed, faults can be diagnosed in the frequency domain since each type of fault has a specific Fault Characteristic Frequency (FCF), which is proportional to the shaft rotational speed. However, bearings often operate under time-varying speed conditions. Additionally, the measurement of the time-varying rotational speed requires instruments, such as tachometers, which leads to extra cost and installation. With the development of time-frequency analysis, the time-varying FCFs manifest as curves in the Time-Frequency Representation (TFR). It has been shown that extracting multiple time-frequency curves from the TFR and then identifying the Instantaneous Fault Characteristic Frequency (IFCF) and Instantaneous Shaft Rotational Frequency (ISRF), bearing faults can be automatically diagnosed under time-varying speed conditions without using tachometers. However, the existing method used to identify the IFCF and the ISRF may lead to inaccurate results. In this study, the complete MATLAB© codes and a more reliable approach to use Multiple Time-Frequency Curve Extraction (MTFCE) for automatic bearing fault diagnosis under time-varying speed conditions are presented. •A Multiple time-frequency curve extraction (MTFCE) Matlab code is presented to extract multiple curves from the TFR.•Custom Matlab code for automatic bearing fault diagnosis under time-varying speed conditions without using tachometer data via the MTFCE is given and explained.•A new parameter, the allowable variance of the curve-to-curve ratio, is proposed to identify the IFCF and ISRF more reliably.

In situ Rb-Sr dating of slickenfibres in deep crystalline basement faults.

Project description:Establishing temporal constraints of faulting is of importance for tectonic and seismicity reconstructions and predictions. Conventional fault dating techniques commonly use bulk samples of syn-kinematic illite and other K-bearing minerals in fault gouges, which results in mixed ages of repeatedly reactivated faults as well as grain-size dependent age variations. Here we present a new approach to resolve fault reactivation histories by applying high-spatial resolution Rb-Sr dating to fine-grained mineral slickenfibres in faults occurring in Paleoproterozoic crystalline rocks. Slickenfibre illite and/or K-feldspar together with co-genetic calcite and/or albite were targeted with 50 µm laser ablation triple quadrupole inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry analyses (LA-ICP-MS/MS). The ages obtained disclose slickenfibre growth at several occasions spanning over 1 billion years, from at least 1527 Ma to 349 ± 9 Ma. The timing of these growth phases and the associated structural orientation information of the kinematic indicators on the fracture surfaces are linked to far-field tectonic events, including the Caledonian orogeny. Our approach links faulting to individual regional deformation events by minimizing age mixing through micro-scale analysis of individual grains and narrow crystal zones in common fault mineral assemblages.

Fault-tolerant error correction with the gauge color code.

Project description:The constituent parts of a quantum computer are inherently vulnerable to errors. To this end, we have developed quantum error-correcting codes to protect quantum information from noise. However, discovering codes that are capable of a universal set of computational operations with the minimal cost in quantum resources remains an important and ongoing challenge. One proposal of significant recent interest is the gauge color code. Notably, this code may offer a reduced resource cost over other well-studied fault-tolerant architectures by using a new method, known as gauge fixing, for performing the non-Clifford operations that are essential for universal quantum computation. Here we examine the gauge color code when it is subject to noise. Specifically, we make use of single-shot error correction to develop a simple decoding algorithm for the gauge color code, and we numerically analyse its performance. Remarkably, we find threshold error rates comparable to those of other leading proposals. Our results thus provide the first steps of a comparative study between the gauge color code and other promising computational architectures.

A Mathematical Model and MATLAB Code for Muscle-Fluid-Structure Simulations.

Project description:This article provides models and code for numerically simulating muscle-fluid-structure interactions (FSIs). This work was presented as part of the symposium on Leading Students and Faculty to Quantitative Biology through Active Learning at the society-wide meeting of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology in 2015. Muscle mechanics and simple mathematical models to describe the forces generated by muscular contractions are introduced in most biomechanics and physiology courses. Often, however, the models are derived for simplifying cases such as isometric or isotonic contractions. In this article, we present a simple model of the force generated through active contraction of muscles. The muscles' forces are then used to drive the motion of flexible structures immersed in a viscous fluid. An example of an elastic band immersed in a fluid is first presented to illustrate a fully-coupled FSI in the absence of any external driving forces. In the second example, we present a valveless tube with model muscles that drive the contraction of the tube. We provide a brief overview of the numerical method used to generate these results. We also include as Supplementary Material a MATLAB code to generate these results. The code was written for flexibility so as to be easily modified to many other biological applications for educational purposes.

Fault Slip Rates and Seismic Moment Deficits on Major Faults in Ordos Constrained by GPS Observation.

Project description:The Ordos Block, surrounded by numerous active faults, is a relatively rigid but dangerous area with many strong historical earthquakes. We derive the block rotation velocity and fault slip rates in this area by using GPS data recorded from 1999 to 2007 and implementing an elastic block model. Instead of assuming vertical faults, as did most previous studies in and around Ordos, we use an improved method to invert for the fault dip angles and construct a closed 3-D fault system in our inversion. The predicted slip rates range from <1?mm/yr to ~ 10?mm/yr. Our results are roughly consistent with geological and other geodetic observations. Using the estimated slip rates, we also calculate the cumulative seismic moment due to fault locking and the released moment from historical earthquake catalogues. A comparison of the two quantities indicates that the Hetao Rift has an unreleased seismic moment equal to a Mw 7.9 earthquake, which is also indicated by frequent earthquakes above M6 after 1900.

Stress loading history of earthquake faults influenced by fault/shear zone geometry and Coulomb pre-stress.

Project description:Whether the stress-loading of faults to failure in earthquakes appears to be random or to an extent explainable, given constraints on fault/shear-zone interaction and the build-up and release of stress over many earthquake cycles, is a key question for seismic hazard assessment. Here we investigate earthquake recurrence for a system of 25 active normal faults arranged predominantly along strike from each other, allowing us to isolate the effects of stress-loading due to regional strain versus across- and along-strike fault interaction. We calculate stress changes over 6 centuries due to interseismic loading and 25 > Mw 5.5 earthquakes. Where only one fault exists across strike, stress-loading is dominated by the regional tectonics through slip on underlying shear zones and fault planes have spatially smooth stress with predominantly time-dependent stress increase. Conversely, where faults are stress-loaded by across-strike fault interactions, fault planes have more irregular stress patterns and interaction-influenced stress loading histories. Stress-loading to failure in earthquakes is not the same for all faults and is dependent on the geometry of the fault/shear-zone system.

Fault-tolerant one-bit addition with the smallest interesting color code.

Project description:Fault-tolerant operations based on stabilizer codes are the state of the art in suppressing error rates in quantum computations. Most such codes do not permit a straightforward implementation of non-Clifford logical operations, which are necessary to define a universal gate set. As a result, implementations of these operations must use either error-correcting codes with more complicated error correction procedures or gate teleportation and magic states, which are prepared at the logical level, increasing overhead to a degree that precludes near-term implementation. Here, we implement a small quantum algorithm, one-qubit addition, fault-tolerantly on a trapped-ion quantum computer, using the [Formula: see text] color code. By removing unnecessary error correction circuits and using low-overhead techniques for fault-tolerant preparation and measurement, we reduce the number of error-prone two-qubit gates and measurements to 36. We observe arithmetic errors with a rate of ∼1.1 × 10-3 for the fault-tolerant circuit and ∼9.5 × 10-3 for the unencoded circuit.

Genetic Algorithm model and data files to assess JONSWAP spectra coefficients: MATLAB code.

Project description:This data article presents the structure of a Genetic Algorithm model written in a MATLAB code for finding the 1D JONSWAP spectra parameters when measured raw spectra is not available. The JONSWAP spectra is widely used in Coastal, Offshore, and Ocean Engineering for determining wave parameters for structure designing and numerical modeling. However, finding proper spectra parameters may be difficult because of the limitations of parameterized equations to do so and the high non-linear relation between the alpha and gamma coefficients. This GA model can find the alpha and gamma parameters for specific locations considering sea-state's evolution and water-depth transitions. The application of the GA model of this data article is shown in Rueda-Bayona et al. [1].

Frictional Melting in Hydrothermal Fluid-Rich Faults: Field and Experimental Evidence From the Bolfin Fault Zone (Chile).

Project description:Tectonic pseudotachylytes are thought to be unique to certain water-deficient seismogenic environments and their presence is considered to be rare in the geological record. Here, we present field and experimental evidence that frictional melting can occur in hydrothermal fluid-rich faults hosted in the continental crust. Pseudotachylytes were found in the >40 km-long Bolfín Fault Zone of the Atacama Fault System, within two ca. 1 m-thick (ultra)cataclastic strands hosted in a damage-zone made of chlorite-epidote-rich hydrothermally altered tonalite. This alteration state indicates that hydrothermal fluids were active during the fault development. Pseudotachylytes, characterized by presenting amygdales, cut and are cut by chlorite-, epidote- and calcite-bearing veins. In turn, crosscutting relationship with the hydrothermal veins indicates pseudotachylytes were formed during this period of fluid activity. Rotary shear experiments conducted on bare surfaces of hydrothermally altered rocks at seismic slip velocities (3 m s-1) resulted in the production of vesiculated pseudotachylytes both at dry and water-pressurized conditions, with melt lubrication as the primary mechanism for fault dynamic weakening. The presented evidence challenges the common hypothesis that pseudotachylytes are limited to fluid-deficient environments, and gives insights into the ancient seismic activity of the system. Both field observations and experimental evidence, indicate that pseudotachylytes may easily be produced in hydrothermal environments, and could be a common co-seismic fault product. Consequently, melt lubrication could be considered one of the most efficient seismic dynamic weakening mechanisms in crystalline basement rocks of the continental crust.

Chlorine activated stacking fault removal mechanism in thin film CdTe solar cells: the missing piece.

Project description:The conversion efficiency of as-deposited, CdTe solar cells is poor and typically less than 5%. A CdCl2 activation treatment increases this to up to 22%. Studies have shown that stacking faults (SFs) are removed and the grain boundaries (GBs) are decorated with chlorine. Thus, SF removal and device efficiency are strongly correlated but whether this is direct or indirect has not been established. Here we explain the passivation responsible for the increase in efficiency but also crucially elucidate the associated SF removal mechanism. The effect of chlorine on a model system containing a SF and two GBs is investigated using density functional theory. The proposed SF removal mechanisms are feasible at the 400 ∘C treatment temperature. It is concluded that the efficiency increase is due to electronic effects in the GBs while SF removal is a by-product of the saturation of the GB with chlorine but is a key signal that sufficient chlorine is present for passivation to occur.
