Collision-based flexible image encryption algorithm

This paper presents a novel image encryption algorithm, which is flexible to encrypt digital images with different precisions. The algorithm is construct from three collision-based dynamical systems: Hardy-Pomeau-Pazzis (HPP) model, rotary element (RE) model and billiard-particle model. Both the HPP and RE model are efficient and can support parallel computing; the billiard-particle is an excellent model for round key expansion. These models are revised to best suits image encryption. Analyses and simulations demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has satisfactory properties of randomness and sensitivity.     

Optimal design of butterfly-shaped linear ultrasonic motor using finite element method and response surface methodology

A new method for optimizing a butterfly-shaped linear ultrasonic motor was proposed to maximize its mechanical output. The finite element analysis technology and response surface methodology were combined together to realize the optimal design of the butterfly-shaped linear ultrasonic motor. First, the operation principle of the motor was introduced. Second, the finite element parameterized model of the stator of the motor was built using ANSYS parametric design language and some structure parameters of the stator were selected as design variables. Third, the sample points were selected in design variable space using latin hypercube Design. Through modal analysis and harmonic response analysis of the stator based on these sample points, the target responses were obtained. These sample points and response values were combined together to build a response surface model. Finally, the simplex method was used to find the optimal solution. The experimental results showed that many aspects of the design requirements of the butterfly-shaped linear ultrasonic motor have been fulfilled. The prototype motor fabricated based on the optimal design result exhibited considerably high dynamic performance, such as no-load speed of 873 mm/s, maximal thrust of 27.5 N, maximal efficiency of 43%, and thrust-weight ratio of 45.8.

A research on the contact stress of roller bearing based on crowning analysis

According to elastic contact theory,contact model between roller and race is established.Compared with the Hertz results,the results are proved,based on which contact stress distribution of different crowning and initial contact length is given,then the appropriate value is derived.On the basis,inertia force and different radial force is given into consideration.Via analysis,it concludes that under balanced pure radial load condition the largest contact stress between roller and race increases along with crowning value increasing.With the same crowning value,the largest contact stress between roller and race decreases in the first and increases at the end along with initial contact length increasing.Contact stress between roller and outer race increases along with revolution speed increasing.     

Measurement of piezoelectric modulus by pulsed excitation of piezoelectric ceramic elements

The possibility of measuring the piezoelectric modulus by exciting piezoelectric ceramic components with a radio pulse is considered. It is shown that there is a relation between the piezoelectric modulus and the rate of change of the current envelope at the beginning of the transient. Theoretical relations are derived. __________ Translated from Izmeritel’naya Tekhnika, No. 10, pp. 71–72, October, 2006.     

Light composite elliptic springs for vehicle suspension

For composites to compete in vehicle suspension applications, it is essential to control their failure by utilising their strength in principal direction instead of shear. This can be achieved efficiently by employing a new configuration instead of existing one. This study marries between an elliptical configuration and the woven roving composites.

In this paper, the influence of ellipticity ratio on performance of woven roving wrapped composite elliptical springs has been investigated both experimentally and numerically. A series of experiments was conducted for composite elliptical springs with ellipticity ratios (a/b) ranging from one to two. Typical failure histories of their failure mechanism are presented and discussed. In general, this study demonstrated that composites elliptical spring can be used for light and heavy trucks and meet the requirements, together with substantial weight saving. The results showed that the ellipticity ratio significantly influenced the spring rate and failure loads. Composite elliptic spring with ellipticity ratios of a/b 2.0 displayed the highest spring rate.     

The perturbation method and the extended finite element method. An application to fracture mechanics problems

The extended finite element method has been successful in the numerical simulation of fracture mechanics problems. With this methodology, different to the conventional finite element method, discretization of the domain with a mesh adapted to the geometry of the discontinuity is not required. On the other hand, in traditional fracture mechanics all variables have been considered to be deterministic (uniquely defined by a given numerical value). However, the uncertainty associated with these variables (external loads, geometry and material properties, among others) it is well known. This paper presents a novel application of the perturbation method along with the extended finite element method to treat these uncertainties. The methodology has been implemented in a commercial software and results are compared with those obtained by means of a Monte Carlo simulation.
