Evaluation of Ultrasonic Nonlinear Characteristics in Heat-Treated Aluminum Alloy (Al-Mg-Si-Cu) by JongBeom Kim, Kyung-Young Jhang

“…After the ultrasonic test, tensile strengths and elongations were obtained by the tensile test to compare with the parameter β. The heating time showing a peak in the parameter β was identical to that showing critical change in the tensile strength and elongation, and such peak appeared at the earlier heating time in the higher heating temperature. …”

VIBRATION MEASUREMENT METHOD OF WIND TURBINE BLADE BASED ON BINOCULAR PHOTOGRAM METRY by YAKUP AhMat, WANG WenYun, GULBAHAR TohTi, SUN Zhi, MAMTIMIN GeNi

“…The vibration images sequence of the blade was acquired synchronously by two cameras and the target was segmented by adaptive binary dynamic threshold method,the direction with fastest grayscale gradient of the coding point as the edge,the circle curve was fitted by the least squares and iterative method,and the precise suppixel central coordinates of the coding point in the dynamic consecutive images were obtained by the gray square centroid method.Each coding point is similar to a small "displacement transducer"that reflects the blade’s time domain vibration response.Finally,the blade’s natural modal frequency was obtained from the time domains response,and compared with the results of the finite element and Laser Doppler Vibrometry,the relative error of vibration frequencies less than 5%,which verified the reliability and effectiveness of binocular photogrammetry method.…”

Cruising for Parking with Autonomous and Conventional Vehicles by Mehdi Nourinejad, Matthew J. Roorda

“…We show that (i) CVs park closer to the downtown zone in order to minimize their walking distance, whereas AVs park farther away from the downtown zone to minimize their parking search time, (ii) AVs experience a lower search time than CVs, and (iii) higher AV penetration rates reduce travel costs for both AVs and CVs.…”

Redactable blockchain supporting trapdoor revocation and limited number of redactions by Yue CHEN, Zenghang HAO, Jianghong WEI, Xuexian HU, Dongmei YANG

“…Aiming at the problem that although the existing redactable blockchain schemes that support trapdoor revocation could revoke the redaction permissions of trapdoor holders, but they were unable to limit the number of redactions using trapdoors, indicating an issue where the management of editing permissions was not adequately refined, a revocable chameleon hash with limited number of redactions was proposed, based on which a new redactable blockchain scheme was proposed.Specifically, the proposed scheme included a master trapdoor, a subordinate trapdoor, and the generated witness.The subordinate trapdoor was deployed for data modification, while the master trapdoor was employed to revoke the subordinate trapdoor, thus accomplishing the objective of revoking editing permissions.Meanwhile, the witness was developed to strictly limit the number of edits via the subordinate trapdoor to one time.The proposed scheme is proved to be secure under the standard complexity assumptions.Theoretical analysis and simulation experiments indicate that the proposed scheme has advantages in terms of security guarantee, when compared with the existing schemes supporting trapdoor revocation.At the same time it introduces little additional computation overhead, and thus has certain practicality.…”

Reconstruction of sparse check matrix for LDPC at high bit error rate by Zhaojun WU, Limin ZHANG, Zhaogen ZHONG, Renxin LIU

“…In order to reconstruct the sparse check matrix of LDPC, a new algorithm which could directly reconstruct the LDPC was proposed.Firstly, according to the principle of the traditional reconstruction algorithm, the defects of the traditional algorithm and the reasons for the defects were analyzed in detail.Secondly, based on the characteristics of sparse matrix, some bit sequences in code words were randomly extracted for Gaussian elimination.At the same time, in order to reliably realize that the extracted bits sequence could contain parity check nodes, the multiple random variables were determined based on the probability of containing check nodes in one extraction.Finally, the statistical characteristics of LDPC under the suspected check vector was analyzed.Based on the minimum error decision rule, the sparse check vector was determined.The simulation results show that the rate of reconstruction of most LDPC in IEEE 802.11 protocol can reach more than 95% at BER of 0.001, and the noise robustness of the proposed method is better than that of the traditional algorithm.At the same time, the new algorithm not only does not need sparseness of parity check matrix, but also has the good performance for both diagonal and non-diagonal check matrix.…”
