Laser Doppler Vibrometer: Application of DOE/Taguchi Methodologies to Pyroshock Response Spectra by C. J. Litz

“…Statistical methodologies were employed for measuring and analyzing the explosively induced transient responses of a flat steel plate excited with shock. The application of design of experiment methodology was made to structure and test a Taguchi L9(32) full factorial experimental matrix (which uses nine tests to study two factors, with each factor examined at three levels) in which a helium-neon laser Doppler vibrometer and two piezocrystal accelerometers were used to monitor explosively induced vibrations ranging from 10 to 105 Hz on a 96 × 48 × 0.25 in. flat steel plate. …”

三明治型中心裂纹试样性能失配对材料拘束作用范围的影响研究 by 戴悦, 杨杰, 陈浩峰

“…Different property mismatched laboratory specimens with sandwich structure and center crack that contain the single-edge-notched bend（ SENB）,compact tension（ CT）,single edge-notched tensile（ SENT）,and central-cracked tension（ CCT） specimens were selected,and the FEM simulations based on GTN（ Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman） damage model were used to further investigate the influence of property mismatch on the effect range of material constraint.The results show that the numerical value of the effect range is also influenced by the property mismatch.The effect range increases with increasing of the property mismatch.In addition,the strength of property mismatched structure has buckets effect,and the buckets effect is more obvious in high property mismatched structure.In the future,the correlation of the effect range of material constraint with geometry constraint and material constraint should be established,and the results can provide scientific support for the structure integrity assessment and the design of property mismatched structures.…”

Comparative study of anonymous network Tor and I2P by Yun YANG, Lingyan LI, Qingzheng WEI

“…Tor is the most deployed anonymous communication system,providing online anonymity and privacy protection,while the invisible Internet project allows applications to send messages to each other anonymously and securely by using garlic routing.The anonymous network Tor and I2P have been highly valued by the academic community and the industry,and are also welcomed by users.The key difference between the design concept between the Tor network and the I2P is that I2P attempts to transfer the existing Internet service to the I2P network,and service implementation is provided within the framework,while Thor allows anonymous access to implement and operate external Internet services separately.The anonymous networks Tor and I2P in terms of terminology,project development,anonymous services,key technologies,threat types,etc.were compared,revealing the inherent and essential differences between the two anonymous networks.…”
