  2. Fault indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_indicator

    In electric power distribution networks, a fault indicator is a device which provides visual or remote indication of a fault on the electric power system. Also called a faulted circuit indicator (FCI), [1] the device is used in electric power distribution networks as a means of automatically detecting and identifying faults to reduce outage time.

  3. Mean time between failures - Wikipedia

    where B 10 is the number of operations that a device will operate prior to 10% of a sample of those devices would fail and n op is number of operations. B 10d is the same calculation, but where 10% of the sample would fail to danger. n op is the number of operations/cycle in one year. [11]

  4. Fault reporting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_reporting

    Fault reporting is a maintenance concept that increases operational availability and that reduces operating cost by three mechanisms: Reduce labor-intensive diagnostic evaluation Eliminate diagnostic testing down-time

  5. Failure mode and effects analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_mode_and_effects...

    graph with an example of steps in a failure mode and effects analysis. Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA; often written with "failure modes" in plural) is the process of reviewing as many components, assemblies, and subsystems as possible to identify potential failure modes in a system and their causes and effects.

  6. Fault detection and isolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fault_detection_and_isolation

    Fault detection, isolation, and recovery (FDIR) is a subfield of control engineering which concerns itself with monitoring a system, identifying when a fault has occurred, and pinpointing the type of fault and its location. Two approaches can be distinguished: A direct pattern recognition of sensor readings that indicate a fault and an analysis ...

  7. Failure rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_rate

    A concept closely-related but different [2] to instantaneous failure rate () is the hazard rate (or hazard function), (). In the many-system case, this is defined as the proportional failure rate of the systems still functioning at time t {\displaystyle t} (as opposed to f ( t ) {\displaystyle f(t)} , which is the expressed as a proportion of ...

  8. Focal mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focal_mechanism

    In the case of a fault-related event, it refers to the orientation of the fault plane that slipped, and the slip vector and is also known as a fault-plane solution. Focal mechanisms are derived from a solution of the moment tensor for the earthquake, which itself is estimated by an analysis of observed seismic waveforms. The focal mechanism can ...

    Many mathematical problems have been stated but not yet solved. These problems come from many areas of mathematics, such as theoretical physics, computer science, algebra, analysis, combinatorics, algebraic, differential, discrete and Euclidean geometries, graph theory, group theory, model theory, number theory, set theory, Ramsey theory, dynamical systems, and partial differential equations.
