Abstract Solid gold usually holds face-centered-cubic structure and relatively low strength of 102 MPa. When the dimension is reduced to the nanoscale, the strength of metal should increase accordingly, due to size effect or complex nanostructures [1-3]. However, reported maximum strength in gold nanostructures is yet considerably lower than the ideal strength (~6 GPa), referring to the stress at elastic instability in a defectfree crystal with infinite dimensions [3-5]. Herein, the ideal strength of gold is experimentally achieved in a quasi-two-dimensional defect-free single crystalline nanosheet with hexagonal-close-packed (HCP) structure. Ultrathin gold nanosheets with a high aspect ratio (lateral size >101 μm,… More >

Abstract The particle size ratio (PSR) is an important parameter for binary granular materials, which may affect the microstructure and macro behaviors of granular materials. However, the effect of particle ratio on granular assemblies with different arrangements is still unclear. To explore and further clarify the effect of PSR in different packing structures, three types of numerical samples with regular, layered, and random packing are designed. Numerical results show that PSR has significant effects on binary granular samples with regular packing. The larger the PSR, the stronger the strength, the larger the modulus, and the smaller the angle between the shear… More >

Abstract Many cutting-edge methods are now possible in real-time commercial settings and are growing in popularity on cloud platforms. By incorporating new, cutting-edge technologies to a larger extent without using more infrastructures, the information technology platform is anticipating a completely new level of development. The following concepts are proposed in this research paper: 1) A reliable authentication method Data replication that is optimised; graph-based data encryption and packing colouring in Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) storage. At the data centre, data is encrypted using crypto keys called Key Streams. These keys are produced using the packing colouring method in the… More >

Abstract Today, resource waste is considered as one of the most important challenges in different industries. In this regard, the Rectangle Packing Problem (RPP) can affect noticeably both time and design issues in businesses. In this study, the main objective is to create a set of non-overlapping rectangles so that they have specific dimensions within a rectangular plate with a specified width and an unlimited height. The ensued challenge is an NP-complete problem. NP-complete problem, any of a class of computational problems that still there are no efficient solution for them. Most substantial computer-science problems such as the traveling salesman problem,… More >

Abstract Traumatic events have been considered significant risk factors for older adults’ mental health, but the mediating mechanism and moderating effect of aging attitudes that underlie this relationship have yet been completely investigated. The attitudes of the elderly toward aging can be divided into two closely related but conceptually different dimensions, including positive and negative. Positive aging attitudes refer to optimistic feelings and experiences about aging, whereas negative attitudes toward aging are related to detrimental thoughts and sensations experienced about the increasing age. The purpose of this study is to explore the mediating and moderating roles of these two dimensions of… More >

Abstract The Android application package (APK) uses the DEX format as an executable file format. Since DEX files are in Java bytecode format, you can easily get Java source code using static reverse engineering tools. This feature makes it easy to steal Android applications. Tools such as ijiami, liapp, alibaba, etc. can be used to protect applications from static reverse engineering attacks. These tools typically save encrypted classes.dex in the APK file, and then decrypt and load dynamically when the application starts. However, these tools do not protect multidex Android applications. A multidex Android application is an APK that contains multiple… More >

Abstract In this paper, an automatic finite element remeshing algorithm based on the bubble packing method is utilized for the purpose of numerical simulations of localized damage, because fine meshes are needed to represent the gradually concentrated damage. The bubble packing method introduces two parameters that easily control the remeshing criterion and the new mesh size. The refined area is determined by \textit {a posteriori} error estimation utilizing the value obtained from Superconvergent Patch Recovery. The isotropic ductile damage theory, founded on continuum damage mechanics, is used for this damage analysis. It was successfully shown in the numerical examples (upsetting and… More >

Abstract Polymers composite are modeled as fiber, interphase and matrix. Interphase properties are very crucial for bonding between fiber and matrix. Interphase can be strong and weak depending upon its properties. Damping of composite material depends on interphase properties and required damping can be obtained by varying the properties of interphase. In this paper three phase mathematical model has been proposed for the evaluation of damping incorporating the effect of fiber packing. Effect of interphase has been analysed for the longitudinal loss factor, transverse loss factor, transverse shear loss factor and longitudinal shear loss factor. Results obtained by modeling fiber reinforced… More >

Abstract Poly(3-hydroxy butyrate)-co-(3-hydroxy valerate) (PHBV) is a biobased and biodegradable polyester. This semicrystalline bioplastic could be a good candidate for the replacement of some commodity plastics derived from oil. However, the control of the conditions of its processing in order to obtain optimal properties of the finished products remains a current research subject. The objective of this work is to better understand the crystallization under injection molding conditions by inline measurements during the process. We focused on the influence of two key processing parameters, namely, mold temperature and packing pressure. The modeling of inline temperature measurements allowed an inverse estimation of… More >

Abstract We consider a composite medium, which consists of a homogeneous matrix containing a statistically homogeneous set of multimodal spherical inclusions. This model is used to represent the morphology of heterogeneous solid propellants (HSP) that are widely used in the rocket industry. The Lubachevsky-Stillinger algorithm is used to generate morphological models of HSP with large polydisperse packs of spherical inclusions. We modify the algorithm by proposing a random shaking procedure that leads to the stabilization of a statistical distribution of the simulated structure that is homogeneous, highly mixed, and protocol independent (in sense that the statistical parameters estimated do not depend… More >
