薄壁型钢混凝土梁抗弯性能试验研究 by 任重, 张志鹏, 何逸鸣, 程亮, 戴柳丝

“…研究结果表明：TSRC梁的失效模式为薄壁钢管加载点处发生局部屈曲，外围混凝土保护层出现贯通斜裂缝，混凝土保护层沿抗剪螺杆开裂；TSRC梁试件在加载过程中未发生脆性破坏，表现出较好的延性；TSRC梁开裂荷载较小，在0.11<italic>P</italic>_u ~ 0.15<italic>P</italic>_u之间，裂缝总数较少，稳定在6~10条；满跨布置螺杆、增大钢管截面尺寸、减小剪跨比以及增加保护层厚度均可提高TSRC梁试件的承载力。…”

Traceable and undeniable ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption for cloud storage service by Gang Yu, Yongjuan Wang, Zhenfu Cao, Jian Lin, Xiangyu Wang

“…Compared with existing accountable ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption schemes, the proposed scheme is more practical from the two aspects: (1) a user can normally request for a decryption key along with a short signature, and no additional interaction between users and authorities is needed; and (2) the complexity of tracing a masked secret key is reduced to | U | exponent computation, where | U | denotes the number of users in the system. …”
