Fault and Tree
Fault Tree Analysis ( FTA ) was originally developed in 1962 at Bell Laboratories by H. A.
This eventually led to the 1981 publication of the NRC Fault Tree Handbook NUREG – 0492, and mandatory use of PRA under the NRC's regulatory authority.
Originally, engineers were responsible for the development of Fault Tree Analysis, as a deep knowledge of the system under analysis is required.
Fault Tree Analysis usually involves events from hardware wear out, material failure or malfunctions or combinations of deterministic contributions to the event stemming from assigning a hardware / system failure rate to branches or cut sets.

Fault and FTA
Fault tree analysis ( FTA ) is a top-down, deductive analytical method.
Fault tree analysis ( FTA ) is a top down, deductive failure analysis in which an undesired state of a system is analyzed using boolean logic to combine a series of lower-level events.

Fault activation establishes a signal value at the fault model site that is opposite of the value produced by the fault model.
* Fault model
Fault and failure
* Fault ( technology ), an abnormal condition or defect at the component, equipment, or sub-system level which may lead to a failure
Fault management includes any tools or procedure for diagnosing testing or repairing the network when a failure occurs.

Fault models can be used in almost all branches of engineering.
* Fault tree analysis, a systems engineering term
Many engineering techniques are used in reliability engineering, such as Reliability Hazard analysis, Failure mode and effects analysis ( FMEA ), Fault tree analysis, Reliability Prediction, Weibull distribution analysis, thermal management, reliability testing and accelerated life testing.

Fault management systems may use complex filtering systems to assign alarms to severity levels.
In strike-slip systems, such as the San Andreas Fault, restraining bends result in regions of localized crustal shortening and mountain building without a plate-margin-wide orogeny.
About three million years ago, the Sierra Nevada Fault and the White Mountains Fault systems became active with repeated episodes of slip earthquakes gradually producing the impressive relief of the eastern Sierra Nevada and White Mountain escarpments that bound the northern Owens Valley-Mono Basin region.
The Balcones Fault Zone is a demarcation line for certain ecological systems and species distributions, e. g., the California Fan Palm ( Washingtonia filifera ) is the only species of palm tree that is native to the continental United States west of the Balcones Fault.
" Fault tolerant operating systems ".

Fault and .
Berkeley is traversed by the Hayward Fault, a major branch of the San Andreas Fault to the west.
No large earthquake has occurred on the Hayward Fault near Berkeley in historic times ( except possibly in 1836 ), but seismologists warn about the geologic record of large temblors several times in the deeper past, and their current assessment is that a quake of 6. 5 or greater is imminent, sometime within the next 30 years.
Some of the slide activity itself, however, results from movement on the Hayward Fault.

At a strip club, he is captured by pig-cops, but escapes the alien-controlled penitentiary and tracks down the alien cruiser responsible for the invasion in the San Andreas Fault.
The longest earthquake ruptures on strike-slip faults, like the San Andreas Fault ( 1857, 1906 ), the North Anatolian Fault in Turkey ( 1939 ) and the Denali Fault in Alaska ( 2002 ), are about half to one third as long as the lengths along subducting plate margins, and those along normal faults are even shorter.
The deformation associated with this plate boundary is partitioned into nearly pure thrust sense movements perpendicular to the boundary over a wide zone to the southwest and nearly pure strike-slip motion along the Main Recent Fault close to the actual plate boundary itself.
Such a pattern was observed in the sequence of about a dozen earthquakes that struck the North Anatolian Fault in Turkey in the 20th century and has been inferred for older anomalous clusters of large earthquakes in the Middle East.
The most popular single earthquake in fiction is the hypothetical " Big One " expected of California's San Andreas Fault someday, as depicted in the novels Richter 10 ( 1996 ) and Goodbye California ( 1977 ) among other works.

The Murray River flowed to the north around the Cadell Fault, creating the channel of the Edward River which exists today and through which much of the Murray River's waters still flow.
This complex series of events however divert attention from the primary result of the Cadell Fault.
The primary result of the Cadell Fault is that the west-flowing water of the Murray River strikes the north-south running fault and diverts both north and south around the fault in the two main channels ( Edward and ancestral Goulburn ) as well as a fan of small streams, and regularly floods a large amount of low-lying country in the area.
