Integrated FEM-Multibody Co-Simulation of Additively Manufactured Hip Prosthesis containing cracks. by Domenico Gentile, Roberto Di Bona, Giuseppe Peter Vanoli, Gabriel testa, Sara Ricci

“…Defective products are often the results of wrong or absent post-processing treatments which may cause an uncontrolled crack propagation and a premature total failure of the implant. The behavior of such a product, with various critical crack conditions, was investigated by an integrated MBD-FEM co-simulation environment, focused on a femur subjected to total hip replacement. …”

A Nonmonotonous Damage Model to Characterize Mullins and Residual Strain Effects of Rubber Strings Subjected to Transverse Vibrations by Alex Elías-Zúñiga, Karen Baylón, Oscar Martínez-Romero, Ciro A. Rodríguez, Héctor R. Siller

“…This work focuses on the formulation of a constitutive equation to predict Mullins and residual strain effects of buna-N, silicone, and neoprene rubber strings subjected to small transverse vibrations. The nonmonotone behavior exhibited by experimental data is captured by the proposed material model through the inclusion of a phenomenological non-monotonous softening function that depends on the strain intensity between loading and unloading cycles. …”

Cooperative secure transmission against collusive eavesdroppers in Internet of Things by Xin Fan, Yan Huo

“…In the cases of cooperative jamming and without cooperative jamming, the closed-form expressions of the secrecy outage probability are deduced, and the influence of system parameters on the secrecy outage probability becomes more intuitive through a strict mathematical asymptotic behavior analysis. In addition, considering the energy limitation of Internet of Things devices, we propose a power allocation algorithm to minimize the total transmission power given the security requirements. …”
