    Pingshui Wang1,*, Zecheng Wang1, Tao Chen1,2, Qinjuan Ma1

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.59, No.2, pp. 533-546, 2019, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2019.05570

    Abstract With the rapid development of the new generation of information technology, the analysis of mobile social network big data is getting deeper and deeper. At the same time, the risk of privacy disclosure in social network is also very obvious. In this paper, we summarize the main access control model in mobile social network, analyze their contribution and point out their disadvantages. On this basis, a practical privacy policy is defined through authorization model supporting personalized privacy preferences. Experiments have been conducted on synthetic data sets. The result shows that the proposed privacy protecting model could improve the security of… More >

    An Influence Maximization Algorithm Based on the Mixed Importance of Nodes

    Yong Hua1, Bolun Chen1,2,*, Yan Yuan1, Guochang Zhu1, Jialin Ma1

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.59, No.2, pp. 517-531, 2019, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2019.05278

    Abstract The influence maximization is the problem of finding k seed nodes that maximize the scope of influence in a social network. Therefore, the comprehensive influence of node needs to be considered, when we choose the most influential node set consisted of k seed nodes. On account of the traditional methods used to measure the influence of nodes, such as degree centrality, betweenness centrality and closeness centrality, consider only a single aspect of the influence of node, so the influence measured by traditional methods mentioned above of node is not accurate. In this paper, we obtain the following result through experimental… More >

    Micromechanical Analysis of Interphase Damage for Fiber Reinforced Composite Laminates

    Yunfa Zhang1, Zihui Xia1,2

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.2, No.3, pp. 213-226, 2005, DOI:10.3970/cmc.2005.002.213

    Abstract In the present study, the initiation and evolution of the interphase damage and their influences on the global stress-strain relation of composite laminates are predicted by finite element analysis on a micromechanical unit cell model. A thin layer of interphase elements is introduced and its stress-strain relation is derived based on a cohesive law which describes both normal and tangential separations at the interface between the fiber and matrix. In addition, a viscous term is added to the cohesive law to overcome the convergence difficulty induced by the so-called snap-back instability in the numerical analysis. The matrix behavior is described… More >

    Effect of Constitutive Parameters on Cavity Formation and Growth in a Class of Incompressible Transversely Isotropic Nonlinearly Elastic Solid Spheres

    X.G. Yuan1,2, R.J. Zhang2

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.2, No.3, pp. 201-212, 2005, DOI:10.3970/cmc.2005.002.201

    Abstract Cavity formation and growth in a class of incompressible transversely isotropic nonlinearly elastic solid spheres are described as a bifurcation problem, for which the strain energy density is expressed as a nonlinear function of the invariants of the right Cauchy-Green deformation tensor. A bifurcation equation that describes cavity formation and growth is obtained. Some interesting qualitative properties of the bifurcation equation are presented. In particular, cavitated bifurcation is examined for a solid sphere composed of an incompressible anisotropic Gent-Thomas material model with a transversely isotropy about the radial direction. The effect of constitutive parameters on cavity formation and growth is… More >

    Analysis of Metallic Waveguides by Using Least Square-Based Finite Difference Method

    C. Shu1,2, W. X. Wu2, C. M. Wang3

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.2, No.3, pp. 189-200, 2005, DOI:10.3970/cmc.2005.002.189

    Abstract This paper demonstrates the application of a meshfree least square-based finite difference (LSFD) method for analysis of metallic waveguides. The waveguide problem is an eigenvalue problem that is governed by the Helmholtz equation. The second order derivatives in the Helmholtz equation are explicitly approximated by the LSFD formulations. TM modes and TE modes are calculated for some metallic waveguides with different cross-sectional shapes. Numerical examples show that the LSFD method is a very efficient meshfree method for waveguide analysis with complex domains. More >

    The method of fundamental solutions for eigenproblems with Laplace and biharmonic operators

    S.Yu. Reutskiy1

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.2, No.3, pp. 177-188, 2005, DOI:10.3970/cmc.2005.002.177

    Abstract In this paper a new meshless method for eigenproblems with Laplace and biharmonic operators in simply and multiply connected domains is presented. The solution of an eigenvalue problem is reduced to a sequence of inhomogeneous problems with the differential operator studied. These problems are solved using the method of fundamental solutions. The method presented shows a high precision in simply and multiply connected domains. The results of the numerical experiments justifying the method are presented. More >

    An FEM study on crack tip blunting in ductile fracture initiation

    N. Ramakrishnan1, P. Rama Rao2

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.2, No.3, pp. 163-176, 2005, DOI:10.3970/cmc.2005.002.163

    Abstract Ductile fracture is initiated by void nucleation at a characteristic distance (Ic) from the crack tip and propagated by void growth followed by coalescence with the tip. The earlier concepts expressed Ic in terms of grain size or inter-particle distance because grain and particle boundaries form potential sites for void nucleation. However, Srinivas et al. (1994) observed nucleation of such voids even inside the crack tip grains in a nominally particle free Armco iron. In an attempt to achieve a unified understanding of these observations, typical crack-tip blunting prior to ductile fracture in a standard C(T) specimen (Mode I) was… More >

    Stability of Solder Bridging for Area Array Type Packaging

    Wen-Hwa Chen1,2, Shu-Ru Lin2, Kuo-Ning Chiang2,3

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.2, No.3, pp. 151-162, 2005, DOI:10.3970/cmc.2005.002.151

    Abstract As ultra-fine-pitch technologies are adopted to enhance the performance of electronic packaging, solder bridging becomes an urgently serious defect. This work presents a computational model using the Surface Evolver program to analyze the stability of solder bridging for area array type packaging. Several factors that affect the stability of solder bridging spanning two identical circular pads are considered herein, including the pad size, the total volume of solder bumps, the pitch between adjacent pads, the contact angle between the molten solder alloy and the pad, the contact angle between the molten solder alloy and the solder mask and the surface… More >

    Three-dimensional Finite Element Buckling Analysis of Honeycomb Sandwich Composite Shells with Cutouts

    J. Li, Z. H. Xiang, M. D. Xue1

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.2, No.2, pp. 139-150, 2005, DOI:10.3970/cmc.2005.002.139

    Abstract This paper investigates the buckling response of honeycomb sandwich composite shells with cutouts under axial compression. The Wilson's incompatible solid Finite Element (FE) is used around cutouts to obtain the detail stress distribution there. While to reduce the computational expense, a special multilayered relative degrees-of-freedom (DOF) shell FE is used to model the regions far from the cutouts. The efficiency and accuracy of this modeling scheme are illustrated by two benchmarks. Then parametric studies are carried out to reveal how the buckling response is influenced by the area, the shape and the orientation of cutouts. More >

    A Three-Dimensional Asymptotic Theory of Laminated Piezoelectric Shells

    Chih-Ping Wu, Jyh-Yeuan Lo, Jyh-Ka Chao1

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.2, No.2, pp. 119-138, 2005, DOI:10.3970/cmc.2005.002.119

    Abstract An asymptotic theory of doubly curved laminated piezoelectric shells is developed on the basis of three-dimensional (3D) linear piezoelectricity. The twenty-two basic equations of 3D piezoelectricity are firstly reduced to eight differential equations in terms of eight primary variables of elastic and electric fields. By means of nondimensionalization, asymptotic expansion and successive integration, we can obtain recurrent sets of governing equations for various order problems. The two-dimensional equations in the classical laminated piezoelectric shell theory (CST) are derived as a first-order approximation to the 3D piezoelectricity. Higher-order corrections as well as the first-order solution can be determined by treating the… More >
