火灾下膨胀型钢结构防火涂层的破损及其对钢构件升温过程的影响 by 王玲玲, 李曼, 王永昌

“…无荷载板型和短柱试件涂层的破损模式为Ⅰ型细小裂纹和Ⅱ型小裂缝,钢基材截面最大温差与截面平均温度的比值分别小于2.2%和6.3%。轴压长柱试件涂层的破损模式为Ⅲ型与Ⅳ型大裂缝(基材为碳钢)和界面剥离(基材为不锈钢),截面最大温差超过截面平均温度的10%。当采用未加载小尺寸试件涂层隔热性能的检测结果指导足尺加载钢构件的抗火设计时,需对涂层的等效导热系数进行修正以考虑涂层开裂和界面剥离对钢构件温升过程的影响。…”

Hierarchical proxy consensus optimization for IoV based on blockchain and trust value by Baoqin ZHAI, Jian WANG, Lei HAN, Jiqiang LIU, Jiahao HE, Tianhao LIU

“…With the rapid development of Internet of vehicles, 5G and artificial intelligence technologies, intelligent transportation has become the development trend of transportation technology.As a vehicle-vehicle and vehicle-road information interaction platform, the Internet of vehicles is the basic support platform for intelligent traffic information sharing and processing.At the same time, the security of Internet of vehicles has attracted much attention, especially data security which may cause user privacy leakage.The blockchain technology has become a solution, but it still faces new challenges in efficiency, security and other aspects.With the increase of vehicle nodes and information, how to efficiently achieve information consensus in high-speed vehicle moving environment has become a key problem.Then a bottom-up RSU (road side unit) chain consensus protocol was proposed based on blockchain and trust value.Several typical consensus structures were compared, and bottom-up two-layer consensus structure was adopted according to the actual scenarios of the Internet of vehicles.Moreover, a group leader node election algorithm was proposed which is based on node participation, work completion and message value.The system security was ensured by assigning trust value to each vehicle.Following the consensus structure and algorithm work mentioned above, the specific process of the protocol was comprehensively described, which was divided into six steps: region division, group leader node selection, local consensus, leader primary node selection, global consensus, and intra-domain broadcast.Then the experiments were analyzed from four aspects: security, communication complexity, consensus algorithm delay and fault tolerance rate.Experiments showed that, compared with other schemes, the proposed protocol can effectively reduce communication complexity and shorten consensus delay under the condition of resisting conspiracy attack, witch attack and other attacks.On the premise of security, the protocol improves fault tolerance rate and enables more nodes to participate in information sharing to satisfy the requirements of Internet of vehicles scenarios.…”
