Experimental Study and Numerical Simulation Analysis on Reinforcement of Mortise-Tenon Joints with Flat Steel Strips by Shurong Gan, Wen Pan, Hexian Su, Yucheng Jin, Chuanwei Zhu, Shibin Yu

“…The results showed the following: the pulling-out phenomenon of tenons was severe, and the aseismic performance of Tou tenons was superior to Ban tenons and dovetail tenons; reinforcing the middle part of mortise-tenon joints with steel plates could effectively reduce the pulling-out amount of joints and promote the aseismic performance of mortise-tenon joints but have an insignificant promotive effect for the bearing capacity of Tou mortise-tenon joints; the aseismic performance was improved significantly after the flat steel strip reinforced position was moved to the upper and lower ends of mortise-tenon joints, with the ultimate bearing capacities being 1.5∼2.4 times that on the middle part of flat steel strip reinforced joints.…”

ANALYSIS OF THE PRESSURE DISTRIBUTION ON RAIL SEAT OF CONCRETE SLEEPERS UNDER 40- TONNE AXLE LOAD by AN BoYang, YANG JiZhong, LIU Chao, ZHAO Xin, WEN ZeFeng, JIN XueSong

“…More results have shown that（ 1） the typical heavy haul track structure in China can meet the requirements of 40- tonne axle load,but the stress on the top of subgrade exceeds the bearing capacity considered in normal design;（ 2） with the increase of the lateral wheel-rail contact force,the width（ along the lateral） of the contact patch between the railpad and the sleeper decreases and the length keeps almost unchanged,thereby the maximum pressure increases and its location moves towards the field side in the lateral;（ 3） Under the typical wheel-rail contact forces,the pressure distribution on the rail seat changes significantly when the stiffness of the railpad increases from 80 MN / m to 200 MN / m,while un-affected as the stiffness further increases to 1300 MN / m;（ 4） Assuming a constant dynamic amplification factor,the pressure on the rail seat decreases as the rail fastening system fails,and correspondingly,the shape of contact patch between the rail pad and the sleeper becomes more irregular due to less constraints.…”

Fast handover authentication scheme in 5G mobile edge computing scenarios by Weicheng ZHANG, Hongquan WEI, Shuxin LIU, Liming PU

“…The 5G internet of things brings the ultimate experience to users, but it also puts forward new challenges.Users’ requirements of ultra-low latency experience, access to business without sense during movement and security guarantee have attracted much attention.Mobile edge computing can meet the strict requirements of 5G with low latency, large connection and high bandwidth.As a computing paradigm with the coexistence of multi-trust domains, multi-entities and cross-trust domains are interconnected frequently.Identity authentication is particularly important for security protection.Through the research on the identity authentication mechanism under the existing edge computing paradigm, a lightweight fast handover authentication scheme based on pre-authentication was proposed.The proposed solution moved services and calculations from the cloud to the edge.Biometric fingerprint technology was used on the client side to defend against terminal theft attacks.Edge servers in different regions used pre-authentication scheme to meet fast switching requirements.The user and the edge server established a secure channel by negotiating a shared session key in real time, and the authentication scheme ensured lightweight operation with XOR and hash operation.The proposed scheme was evaluated from two aspects of security and performance.Theoretical design analysis and formal tool verification were carried out for security evaluation.The formal analysis tool, AVISPA, was used to verify the improved security of the proposed scheme in the presence of intruders.The performance was mainly evaluated from the computing cost and communication cost of the authentication scheme.The simulation results showed that the proposed scheme reduces communication cost, and the computational overhead can meet the needs of mobile terminals with limited resources.As the future work, the scheme will be improved from two aspects: one is to strengthen the scalability to ensure that users and edge servers can join and exit at any time, and the other one is to strengthen the universality of the scheme to meet the access deployment of third-party service providers.…”
