Scaling of compression strength in disordered solids: metallic foams by J. Ková?ik, J. Jerz, N. Mináriková, L. Marsavina, E. Linul

“…The difference of the obtained values of Tf to the theoretical estimate of Tf = 2.64 ± 0.3 by Arbabi and Sahimi and to Ashby estimate of 1.5 was explained using an analogy with the Daoud and Coniglio approach to the scaling of the free energy of sol-gel transition. It leads to the finding that, there are two different universality classes for the critical exponent Tf: when the stretching forces dominate Tf = f = 2.1, respectively when bending forces prevail Tf = ?.…”

Backlash Control and the Fatigue Life Bench Test of Bevel Gears from Inter-axle Differential by Zhao Long, Liu Hu, Zhang Lingxiao, Wang Hao

“…Adopting a modular design concept, establish a backlash control dimension chain, and propose a method of adding steps on the input shaft to accurately control the backlash of bevel gears; through the fatigue life test rig of the interaxle differential bevel gear, the optimal control range for the total backlash of the interaxle differential bevel gear is explored to be [0.30, 0.60] mm; it is known that the change in backlash has a significant impact on the contact fatigue life of bevel gears and the bending fatigue life of tooth roots, and reasonable backlash control can increase the contact fatigue life of tooth surfaces by 29%. …”

Vibration Characteristics of Roundabout Swing of HAWT Wind Wheel by Jian-long Ma, Pei-lin Li, Jian-wen Wang, Liu Yang, Yan-qi Zhang

“…During the vibration, the blade root was simultaneously subjected to bending and rotary shear stresses. A method for indirect testing and determination of the dynamic frequencies of the typical vibrations of the wind wheel was developed, based on the frequency-holding characteristic of each subsignal during the transmission of the multiple mixed-vibration signals. …”

Miniaturized Wide Scanning Angle Phased Array Using EBG Structure for 5G Applications by Xiumei Shen, Kun Xue, Xinggang Tang, Yuqi He

“…The existence of the EBG ground enables the array to be compact in size (3.2 × 0.6 × 0.12λL3), yet the mutual coupling between each element can reach to more than 22 dB within the whole band of interest. The EBG structures also contribute to the wide element radiation pattern of the aperiodic array and consequently the wide scanning angle performance of the array. …”

Research on Access and Handover Authentication Mechanism of SpaceIntegrated-Ground Information Network for Multi-Type Terminals by Jin CAO, Lilan CHEN, Ruhui MA, Hui LI, Fenghua LI

“…With the maturity of the key technologies of the new spectrum of the network, the network can accommodate users of various frequency bands.In order to make eff ective use of resources, diff erentiated terminals need targeted and customized security protection mechanisms.In the unifi ed network architecture, three access authentication mechanisms were proposed for common terminals, high-speed terminals and Ka terminals.At the same time, in order to ensured that diff erent types of terminals could still obtain continuous network services after accessing the network, a switching authentication mechanism based on pre-switching was proposed to provided unifi ed security switching services for the three types of terminals.Formal verifi cation tool named Scyther and informal security analysis results showed that the proposed scheme meet a variety of security requirements of the proposed scenario.At the same time, compared with the same type schemes, the proposed scheme can achieve the eff ective balance between security and performance, which can meet multidimensional integration of heaven and earth network of the scene terminal access switch and certifi cation requirements.…”

Fracture assessment of magnetostrictive materials by M. Peron, SMJ. Razavi, F. Berto, J. Torgersen, M. Colussi

“…Since these smart materials are subjected to both mechanical loads and magnetic field during their industrial applications, an extensive characterization on the influence of a magnetic field and of defects on their fracture behavior is needed. Very few works can be found in literature about this topic and, thus, the purpose of this work is to partially fill this lack by means of three-point bending tests on single-edge pre-cracked Terfenol-D specimens. …”
