Seismic Performance Evaluation of Building-Damper System under Near-Fault Earthquake by Xiaoli Wu, Wei Guo, Ping Hu, Dan Bu, Xu Xie, Yao Hu

“…The building-damper system designed by a seismic code is usually considered to be able to withstand the attack of strong earthquakes. However, near-fault earthquakes, especially those with the forward-directivity effect, might cause early and unexpected failure of code-designed dampers and consequent severe structural damage. …”

Cascading Failures Analysis Considering Extreme Virus Propagation of Cyber-Physical Systems in Smart Grids by Tao Wang, Xiaoguang Wei, Tao Huang, Jun Wang, Luis Valencia-Cabrera, Zhennan Fan, Mario J. Pérez-Jiménez

“…However, due to the interdependencies between communication networks and electrical networks, once communication networks fail (or are attacked), the faults can be easily propagated to electrical networks which even lead to cascading blackout; therefore it is crucial to investigate the impacts of failures of communication networks on the operation of electrical networks. …”

Batch-in-Batch: a new adversarial training framework for initial perturbation and sample selection by Yinting Wu, Pai Peng, Bo Cai, Le Li

“…Through extensive experiments on three benchmark datasets with two network architectures in both single-step (Noise-Fast Gradient Sign Method, N-FGSM) and multi-step (Projected Gradient Descent, PGD) scenarios, models trained within the BB framework consistently demonstrate superior adversarial accuracy across various adversarial settings, notably achieving an improvement of more than 13% on the SVHN dataset with an attack radius of 8/255 compared to N-FGSM. The analysis further demonstrates the efficiency and mechanisms of the proposed initial perturbation design and sample selection strategies. …”
