A hybrid analytical-intelligent approach is proposed for fuzzy reliability analysis of the composite beams reinforced by zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticle. The fuzzy reliability index corresponding to buckling failure mode of nanocomposite beam under thickness-direction external voltage is computed based on three-levels: (1) fuzzy analysis, (2) reliability analysis and (3) analytical buckling analysis. In fuzzy analysis level, an improved gravitational search algorithm has been applied to determine uncertainty interval for membership levels of reliability index. The adaptive formulation with a dynamical self-adjusting process is used for reliability analysis level based on conjugate first-order reliability method (FORM). The self-adjusting term in conjugate sensitivity vector is used to satisfy the sufficient descent condition for controlling instability of FORM formula while the proposed conjugate scalar factor is computed less than the original conjugate FORM, thus it may be provided with the efficient results for the convex problem. The new and previous sensitivity vectors obtained by conjugate and steepest descent vectors dynamically adjusted the proposed conjugate factor. In the buckling analysis level, an exponential theory in conjunction with the method of energy is utilized. Fuzzy random variables including applied voltage, the volume fraction of ZnO, thickness of beam, spring constant and shear constant of the foundation are considered in studied nanocomposite beam. Survey results indicated that the proposed method can provide stable and acceptable fuzzy membership functions for parametric study. Moreover, the ratio of length to thickness and spring constant of foundation are the more sensitive parameters which affect fuzzy reliability index significantly.
Radiation-shielding concrete was made with ironstone aggregate. The compressive strength is affected by multi factors. The
electrical conductive properties and smart performance was discovered and investigated. Experimental results show that concrete
conductivity rapidly declines with increasing loading, and the conductivity is much lower than the initial value of conductive
aggregate of concrete, which may be related to special characters of ironstone. This kind of concrete has widely potential
applications due to its special characters and low cost.

There are many mutual authentication schemes proposed in the literature for preventing unauthorized parties from accessing resources in an insecure environment. However, most of them based on smart cards have assumed a tamper resistant condition for the smart card. To solve the problem, Huang, Liu, and Chen (2013) proposed a mutual authentication scheme based on nonce and smart cards and claimed that the adversary was not able to attack and access the system even if he could extract the data stored in the smart card. Unfortunately, in this paper, we will demonstrate that Huang et al.’s scheme is vulnerable to the offline password guessing attack and the privileged insider attack. We also propose an improved scheme to overcome the weaknesses. 相似文献
