Finite Element Analysis of Stress Distribution in Functionally Graded Materials
Functionally graded materials (FGMs) as a new strain of composite materials have special spatially modulated material properties with wide prospects of application in the realms of aerospace, biomedical and other high-tech engineering disciplines. In this experiment, finite element technique (FEM) was used to study how FGMs behave with regards to stress distribution. To model the...
Design of Intelligent Belt Protector Based on Elastic Adaptive Extension and Compound Physiotherapy
This paper presents a design of intelligent belt protection based on elastic adaptive extension and compound physiotherapy. The belt includes a belt body and a symmetrically arranged polyester fiber cloth connecting belt, and the connecting belt is arranged on one side of the belt body. One side of the connecting belt is connected with a...
A dynamic anonymous authentication protocol with membership privacy in cloud-fog-assisted IIoT
The cloud-fog computing infrastructure flexibly deploys resources in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), adjusting the computing and storage capabilities of cloud and fog nodes based on specific needs to optimize costs and performance. However, the frequent transmission and sharing of data between terminal entities and the cloud-fog infrastructure can easily lead to privacy leaks...
Polyglycerol Systems in Additive Manufacturing: Structure, Properties, and Processing
Additive manufacturing (AM) demands materials that combine precise printability with reliable thermal and mechanical performance. Polyglycerol (PG)-based macromolecular systems offer exceptional tunability through controlled architecture and chemical modification, enabling their use across both light-based and extrusion AM platforms. Strategic enhancements such as chemical functionalization, network formation, and hybrid reinforcement have expanded their capabilities from biomedical...
Moldflow-based injection molding simulation and fill analysis for mouse lower shell plastic parts
This paper investigates the filling process of an injection mold for the lower shell plastic part of a mouse. By analyzing the usage requirements of this plastic part and the structural characteristics of the mouse shell, the material for this part is determined to be ABS. Using the basic process parameters for this material as...
Research on CNN noise robustness enhancement method based on adaptive normalization
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have performed exemplarily well with image recognition tasks, but their efficiency in image recognition drops tremendously in the event of complex noise. The conventional way to normalize has not done sufficient work in tackling the various noise interference. In order to address this problem, this paper would introduce a CNN robustness...
