Abstract Security weaknesses in web applications deployed in cloud architectures can seriously affect its data confidentiality and integrity. The construction of the procedure utilized in the static analysis tools of source code security differs and therefore each tool finds a different number of each weakness type for which it is designed. To utilize the possible synergies different static analysis tools may process, this work uses a new method to combine several source codes aiming to investigate how to increase the performance of security weakness detection while reducing the number of false positives. Specifically, five static analysis tools will be combined with… More >

Abstract To detect security vulnerabilities in a web application, the security analyst must choose the best performance Security Analysis Static Tool (SAST) in terms of discovering the greatest number of security vulnerabilities as possible. To compare static analysis tools for web applications, an adapted benchmark to the vulnerability categories included in the known standard Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Top Ten project is required. The information of the security effectiveness of a commercial static analysis tool is not usually a publicly accessible research and the state of the art on static security tool analyzers shows that the different design and… More >

Abstract The movement of various cargos is needed due to rise of global container traffics. Ships are ideal vehicles for transportation and have many construction types such as container ship, bulk carrier, oil tanker, and car carrier. Ships like these are serviced all over the world. Ships are subjected to various environmental loads during operation. To sustain these various loads, ships should be designed guaranteeing structural safety and economical efficiency as well.
Stiffened panels consist of plates and supporting members and are commonly used in the ship building and ocean engineering industry. Ship structures are normally exposed to uniaxial, biaxial… More >

Abstract In this paper, the steady viscous flow around a ship hull with free surface is studied through solving Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations numerically. The RANS solver is based on a cell-centered finite-volume discretization. In our study, the turbulence is modeled through an SST (Shear Stress Transport) k - ω turbulence model in conjunction with the wall function approach for the near-wall simulation. The VOF method is used for the free surface treatment. Calculations for two typical benchmark surface ship models, Wigley and DTMB 5415, are carried out first for the purpose of model validation. The numerical results are compared… More >

Abstract The vibration-based crack identification problem insists of finding a measured vibration parameter from a complete crack-detection-database constructed by numerical simulation. It is one of the classical optimization problems. Many intelligence methods, such as neural network (NN), genetic algorithm (GA), determinant transformation (DT), and frequency contour (FC) etc., have been extensively employed as optimization tools to achieve this task. The aim of this paper is to propose a benchmark problem to compare these extensive-used optimization methods in terms of crack identification precision and computational time. The merit and demerits for each method are discussed. The results suggest that FC is a… More >

Abstract The integration and application of a new multi-objective tabu search optimization algorithm for Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) problems are presented. The aim is to enhance the computational design process for real world applications and to achieve higher performance of the whole system for the four considered objectives. The described system combines the optimizer with a well established FSI solver which is based on the fully implicit, monolithic formuFlation of the problem in the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian FEM approach. The proposed solver resolves the proposed fluid-structure interaction benchmark which describes the self-induced elastic deformation of a beam attached to a cylinder in… More >

Abstract The Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) became, today, a powerful tool for simulating fluid flows. Its improvements for different applications and configurations offers more flexibility and results in several schemes such as in presence of external/internal forcing term. However, we look for the suitable model that gives correct informations, matches the hydrodynamic equations and preserves some features like coding easily, preserving computational cost, stability and accuracy. In the present work, high order incompressible models and equilibrium distribution functions for the advection-diffusion equations are analyzed. Boundary conditions, acceleration, stability and preconditioning with initial fields are underlined which permit to rigorously selecting two… More >

Abstract This paper explores an application of a novel mesh-free Local Radial Basis Function Collocation Method (LRBFCM) [Sarler and Vertnik (2006)] in solution of coupled heat transfer and fluid flow problems with solid-liquid phase change. The melting/freezing of a pure substance is solved in primitive variables on a fixed grid with convection suppression, proportional to the amount of the solid fraction. The involved temperature, velocity and pressure fields are represented on overlapping sub-domains through collocation by using multiquadrics Radial Basis Functions (RBF). The involved first and second derivatives of the fields are calculated from the respective derivatives of the RBF's. The… More >

Abstract The perfectly matched layer (PML) is a widely used technique for truncating unbounded domains in numerical simulations of wave propagation problems. In this paper, the PML technique is used with a standard one-way model to solve a benchmark problem for underwater acoustics modeling. Accurate solutions are obtained with a PML layer with a thickness of only a quarter of the wavelength. The effect of a PML is analyzed in a perturbation analysis for waveguides. More >

Abstract We present a novel method for generating starting polymer structures for molecular simulations in the dense phase. The work describes the ingredients of an algorithm for the creation of large, dense or diluted amorphous polymeric systems close to equilibrium and provides measures for its quality. The model systems are made of semiflexible (wormlike) repulsive multibead chains. The key feature of the method is its efficiency, in particular for large systems, while approaching given local and global chain characteristics. Its output has been proven to serve as an excellent basis for subsequent off-lattice molecular dynamics computer simulation. By combining chain growing… More >
