As observed in Lesson 3, at low pressures and temperatures rock is a brittle material that will fail by fracture if the stresses become sufficiently large. When a lateral displacement takes place on a ...

ATPG targets faults at IC-gate boundaries, but 50% of defects are located within cells. Learn how cell-aware ATPG and user-defined fault models help to ferret out these hard-to-squash bugs.

Functional safety is a major challenge for field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and other semiconductor designs. Safety requirements go beyond traditional verification, which focuses on design bugs.

New mechanical modeling of a network of active strike-slip faults in California's Imperial Valley suggests the faults are continuously linked, from the southern San Andreas Fault through the Imperial ...
