Work of fracture of high impact polystyrene (HIPS) film under plane stress conditions

Essential work of fracture methodology was used to determine plane-stress ductile fracture toughness of high impact polystyrene film of thickness 0.26 mm. Results obtained indicated that specific essential work of fracture, w _e, is independent of loading rate, and for certain specimen sizes, independent of both gauge length and width of the specimen. On the other hand, w _e was found to be affected by the temperature, molecular anisotropy and the geometry of the test specimens. Reasonable estimate of w _e was obtained via crack opening displacement value.

Single and multi-specimenR-curve methods forJ IC determination of toughened nylons

For characterization of the fracture resistance of materials used in the upper shelf toughness regime,J-R curves are widely considered the most promising candidates. However, there still remain problems concerning both the generation and measurement ofJ-R curves as material characterizing parameters and their application in ductile fracture analyses for failure prediction in polymeric materials. This paper reports the results of investigations conducted on two rubbertoughened nylons at room temperature. Two different methods ofJ-R curve determination are covered, namely multi-specimen and single specimen test methods. The resultingJ-R curves have also been evaluated to obtain values of the initiation toughness,J _IC, following the extrapolation and interpolation schemes prescribed by ASTM E813-81 and ASTM E813-87 test procedures, respectively. The results show that the multiple specimen unloading method and the single specimen partial unloading compliance method can be used to generate comparable crack growth resistanceJ-R curves of the toughened nylons. The value ofJ _IC for the crystalline rubber-toughened nylon was approximately twice the value obtained for the amorphous rubber-toughened nylon. The former material also exhibited a greater resistance to ductile crack growth.     

High-breakdown-voltage AlInAs/GaInAs junction-modulated HEMT's(JHEMT's) with regrown ohmic contacts by MOCVD

A technology for increasing both the two-terminal gate-drain breakdown and subsequently the three-terminal-off-state breakdown of AlInAs/GaInAs high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) to record values without substantial impact on other parameters is presented. The breakdown in these structures is dependent on the multiplication of electrons injected from the source (channel current) and the gate (gate leakage) into the channel. In addition, holes are generated by high fields at the drain and are injected back into the gate and source electrodes. These phenomena can be suppressed by increasing the gate barrier height and alleviating the fields at the drain. Both have been achieved by incorporating a p⁺-2DEG junction as the gate that modulates the 2DEG gas and by utilizing selective regrowth of the source and drain regions by MOCVD. The 1-μm-gate-length devices fabricated have two-terminal gate-drain and three-terminal-off-state breakdown voltages of 31 V and 28 V, respectively     

ECFGM: enriched control flow graph miner for unknown vicious infected code detection

Vicious codes, especially viruses, as a kind of impressive malware have caused many disasters and continue to exploit more vulnerabilities. These codes are injected inside benign programs in order to abuse their hosts and ease their propagation. The offsets of injected virus codes are unknown and their targets usually are latent until they are executed and activated, what in turn makes viruses very hard to detect. In this paper enriched control flow graph miner, ECFGM in short, is presented to detect infected files corrupted by unknown viruses. ECFGM uses enriched control flow graph model to represent the benign and vicious codes. This model has more information than traditional control flow graph (CFG) by utilizing statistical information of dependent assembly instructions and API calls. To the best of our knowledge, the presented approach in this paper, for the first time, can recognize the offset of infected code of unknown viruses in the victim files. The main contributions of this paper are two folds: first, the presented model is able to detect unknown vicious code using ECFG model with reasonable complexity and desirable accuracy. Second, our approach is resistant against metamorphic viruses which utilize dead code insertion, variable renaming and instruction reordering methods.
