A Finite Element-Based Elastic-Plastic Model for the Contact of Rough Surfaces by Ali Sepehri, Kambiz Farhang

“…Equations governing the shoulder-shoulder contact of asperities are derived based on the asperity constitutive relations from a finite element model of the elastic-plastic interaction proposed by Kogut and Etsion (2002), in which asperity scale constitutive relations are derived using piecewise approximate functions. An analytical fusion technique is developed to combine the piecewise asperity level constitutive relations. …”

mVulSniffer: a multi-type source code vulnerability sniffer method by Xuejun ZHANG, Fenghe ZHANG, Jiyang GAI, Xiaogang DU, Wenjie ZHOU, Teli CAI, Bo ZHAO

“…Given the problem that the code slice used by existing deep learning-based vulnerability sniffer methods could not comprehensively encompass the subtle characteristics between vulnerability classes, and a single deep learning sniffer model had insufficient ability to learn long context-dependent information between cross-file and cross-function code statements, a multi-type source code vulnerability sniffer method was proposed.Firstly, fine-grained two-level slices containing the types of vulnerabilities were extracted based on the control dependency and data dependency information in program dependency graph.Secondly, the two-level slices were transformed into initial feature vector.Finally, a fusion model of deep learning vulnerability sniffer suitable for two-level slices was constructed to achieve accurate vulnerability detection of multi-type source code.The experimental results on multiple synthetic datasets and two real datasets show that the proposed method outperforms the existing multi-type source code vulnerability sniffer methods.…”
