Search for reliable signals of catastrophic failure

A sudden catastrophic failure causes enormous damage in terms of properties and lives. However a reliable precursor of such failures can save a lot, by allowing evacuation and other precautionary measures. From this motivation, the main goal of our projec t is to identify reliable precursors of ...
