Secure outsource computing scheme of modular exponentiation based on single server by Weijie DING

“…At present,in discrete-log based cryptographic protocols,most of the computational models of modular exponentiation are for primes,while less work has been done for composite.What’s more,most schemes are based on two servers,in which it requires at least one server to be honest.However,there may not be a fully trusted cloud server in the actual environment.Then a new secure method for outsourcing exponentiation modular a composite which based on a single server was proposed.The scheme used a new mathematical division method,it could ensure the privacy of the base and exponentiation.Compared with the existing schemes,the checkability of our scheme can be greatly improved.The user can detect the error result with the probability of 119/120.…”

辊压机辊轴快速拆卸复合结构应力分析及应用研究 by 张胜泉, 边汉民, 宋亚杰, 孙学娟

“…It’s difficult to dismantle the reducer and bearings,when maintaining the roller press.So a new structure related to a link construction between the output shaft of the reducer and the axis was designed to replace them quickly.The construction mainly used end face key connection and bolt connection to transfer the torque and bending moment.However when caculating the stress of the structure by hand,it’s difficult to allot the proportion load between the key and bolts.Ansys software was used to analyze the stress of the structure.The quick replacing structure was modeled,meshed,constrained and loaded.Different detailed structure and bolt preload was considered.The analysis result shows that the preload affects composite structure stress the most.Structural change has a certain effect on the composite structure stress.The materials of bolts and key have great influence on the bearing capacity of composite structure.For RP140-65 roller press,the optimum parameters are selected.The preload should be set to 200 kN～ 250 kN.Non-through keyway composite structure makes the key stress lower.Key material should be selected higher performance than 45 steel.Bolts performance class should bet 12.9.After the drawings was designed,the structure was manufactured and put into operation.It’s proved that the structure design is reliable after it has run for five years.This design method can be popularized and applied in the design of roller press.…”

Experimental study on the residual interfacial bonding performance between CFRPs and concrete after high temperatures by Yushi Yin, Qinhua Yang, Zhihui Zhang, Haiyang Luan, Chen Li

“…The interfacial separation between CFRPs and epoxy resin occurs at 110 °C, and the glass transition temperature (Tg) is the critical factor determining the decrease in the bonding performance of CFRP composites. The two models proposed in this study exhibit high prediction accuracy and certain safety reserves and are applicable to the prediction of CFRP reinforcement design and construction after exposure to high temperatures. …”
