Experimental Study on Cracking Behaviour and Strength Properties of an Expansive Soil under Cyclic Wetting and Drying by Tao Li, Yanqing He, Guokun Liu, Binru Li, Rui Hou

“…The applied vertical load reduces the weakening effect of the wetting-drying cycles on the soil structure and strength by restraining the expansion and contraction deformation. (2) By analyzing the number of wetting-drying cycles and the crack images, the crack development (length, direction, etc.) of the expansive soil can be predicted and described. (3) There is a specific linear correlation between the crack ratio and strength that approached a limit value with ongoing wetting-drying cycles. …”

A Survey on High-Order Internal Model Based Iterative Learning Control by Miao Yu, Sheng Chai

“…HOIM-based ILC for nonlinear systems is more complex than HOIM-based ILC for linear systems, and when the system parameters change iteratively, the Lyapunov-based analysis method is used instead of traditional contraction mapping method. Not only can HOIM be integrated into the traditional ILC, it can be also combined with other control methods, such as adaptive control, terminal control, repetitive control and so on. …”

Research on efficient and secure cross-domain data sharing of IoV under blockchain architecture by Xuejiao LIU, Tiancong CAO, Yingjie XIA

“…To solve the problems of data disclosure, uncontrolled data access, and inefficiency of cross-domain data sharing in the Internet of vehicles (IoV), an efficient and secure cross-domain data sharing scheme of IoV under blockchain architecture was proposed.A blockchain was maintained by trusted authorities of different trust domains.A modified ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption scheme was adopted to encrypt data, and encrypted data was stored in interplanetary file system (IPFS) with relevant information recorded on the blockchain, constructing a fine-grained and secure cross-domain data sharing scheme based on blockchain.A verification algorithm for cross-domain access based on the garbled Bloom filter was designed, and a smart contract executed fast decryption tests based on access policies on the blockchain, improving the access efficiency of a mass of ciphertext.A cross-domain data access method based on outsourcing decryption was designed, and the trusted authorities transformed ciphertexts while performing outsourcing decryption with complex bilinear pairing calculations, reducing the time overhead of vehicle decryption.Experiment results show that the proposed scheme is superior to other schemes in the process of cross-domain ciphertext transformation and vehicle decryption, and the cross-domain data access efficiency is increased by 60% on average.…”
