RESEARCH ON DYNAMIC AND STATIC STIFFNESS CHARACTERISTICS OF MESH ELASTIC PAD by ZHAO Feng, HE ZhenXing, SHI GuangTian, CHEN QingChao, ZHOU HuaLong, WANG BinCang

“…The results show that: under the condition of constant mesh aperture,with the increase of mesh wall thickness,the static stiffness of elastic cushion plate increases and the ratio of dynamic stiffness to static stiffness decreases; under the condition of constant mesh wall thickness,with the increase of mesh aperture,the static stiffness of elastic cushion plate decreases and the ratio of dynamic stiffness to static stiffness increases;compare with the traditional grooved elastic cushion plate with similar static stiffness,the meshed elastic cushion plate has the characteristics of lower dynamic and static stiffness,smaller maximum stress value and more uniform stress distribution.Therefore,reasonable adjustment of mesh wall thickness and aperture size can make mesh elastic cushion plate suitable for track structures with different stiffness requirements,and the application of mesh structure to under rail elastic cushion plate can enhance the force transmission characteristics of cushion plate and prolong the service life of cushion plate.…”

Surfactant usage in nitrile rubber film development through metal plate dipping process by Hui Lai Yong, Munusamy Yamuna, Mohd Ismail Nor Ismaliza, Xian Ooi Zhong, Muniyadi Mathialagan, Jiang Lim Chaw

“…Thus, this work focuses on the incorporation of surfactant into the coagulant solution (Ca(NO3)2) to allow a uniform coating. Two concentrations of two types of surfactants are tested by measuring the contact angle of coagulant to the metal plate. 0.5% of Wetpol 800 surfactant provides an even coating of rubber film on the metal plate after dipping through visual inspection compared to the Ca(NO3)2 alone. …”

Secure deployment strategy of virtual machines based on operating system diversity by Miao ZHANG, Xin-sheng JI, Jian-jian AI, Wen-yan LIU, Hong-chao HU, Shu-min HUO

“…The resource-sharing model for cloud computing raises many security issues,such as co-resident of virtual machines,while greatly improving resource utilization.In particular,when a user adopts a single operating system,an attacker can steal privacy and data by compromising the user's entire virtual machine at a smaller cost.In view of this security threat,a strategy for the security deployment of virtual machine based on operating system diversity was presented.This method firstly recommended an operating system configuration options for users applying for virtual machines with the highest degree in diversity,and then through the secure deployment strategy,maximized the effect of diversity,thus making the attacker pay more cost.The experimental results show that compared with the method of single operating system,this method can reduce the attack efficiency by 33.46% at least.…”
