Thomas Kraeszig 4/5/13 Full Authority Digital electronic Control (FADEC) The goal of any engine control system is to allow the engine to perform at maximum efficiency for a given condition. The complexity of this task is proportional to the complexity of the engine. The history of full authority digital electronic control FADEC started in the 1960’s when Rolls Royce experimented with their Olympus 593 engine on a Concorde. The start of full authority digital electronic control (FADEC) was

The Chaman Fault runs along Pakistan’s western frontier with Afghanistan from Kalat‚ in the northern Makran range‚ past Quetta and then on to Kabul‚ Afghanistan. A fault also runs along the Makran coast and is believed to be of the same nature as the West Coast fault along the coast of Maharashtra‚ India. An active subduction zone exists off the Makran coast. The great 1945 earthquake was

MODULE E – Planetary Engineering: Mesozoic Tectonics Lesson 17 – Plate Tectonics 101 Introduction - Plate Tectonics = “Grand Unifying Theory” explaining relationships between processes within Earth From Theory of Continental Drift - Alfred Wegener in 1915 The Theory of Plate Tectonics 1) Earth’s surface consists of many lithospheric plates including crust (continental or oceanic) and immediately underlying mantle‚ cold and rigid 2) These plates are presently moving around on Earth’s surface

Caribbean and Atlantic Plates. Deformation of the Basin is made typical by the Over Thrust Faulting. The Geological formations within the southern basin are marked by sudden and intense folding and deep seated thrust faulting of basement material. These faults are estimated to extend below 35000 ft and exhibit very concave surfaces and gentle deep roots with frequent bifurcations called splay faults. These splay faults extend as far as 10‚000 feet below the ground. In order to determine the basin

The January 12‚ 2010 Haiti Earthquake caused an enormous destruction in the Caribbean nation. Hospitals and government buildings collapsed along with an unbelievable amount of homes. Tens of thousands of people were killed‚ and many more were wounded. The disaster added more misery to people already struggling to get by with everyday life. Haiti is one of the poorest nations in the world. The January 12 quake demolished almost every major building in Port-au-Prince‚ Haiti’s capital. About 5‚000 schools

2001 Gujarat earthquake The 2001 Gujarat earthquake occurred on January 26‚ 2001‚ at 03:17 UTC‚ and coincided with the 51st celebration of India’s Republic Day. The location of the epicentre was Bhuj (23.6° N 69.8° E) Gujarat‚ India. With a moment magnitude (Mw) of between 7.6 and 8.1‚ the quake killed more than 20‚000 people and injured another 167‚000 and destroyed near a million homes throughout Gujarat and parts of eastern Pakistan.[3] The earthquake is considered an intraplate earthquake because

Earthquakes are vibrations of earth caused by the rapid release of energy. These earthquakes can be caused by faults in the Earth’s crust scraping against each other. Faults are constantly sliding past each other‚ but can occasionally have difficulty when the earth around these faults cracks‚ causing the path to become rugged. When they don’t slide easily‚ they cause tension. When the tension and pressure is released‚ this causes said vibrations that can be large enough to damage and destroy cities

There then becomes massive pressure on the fault lines resulting in the fault lines giving way‚ and plates move over‚ against or apart from each other.There is then a earthquake at this point. In the form of seismic waves (like water ripples) the escaping energy radiates outward from the fault in every directions. The seismic waves shake the earth as they move through it. When the waves reach the earth’s surface‚ it
