A unified constitutive model for yielding single-lining tunnel supports with resistance limiters under large deformation [PDF]
Large deformation in soft rock tunnels remains a critical challenge in mining and underground engineering, with conventional rigid supports prone to overstressing and failure due to limited deformation compatibility.

Automated adversarial red-teaming for evaluating robustness in LLM-based recommender systems [PDF]
Robustness testing for large language model based recommender systems (LLM4Rec) typically relies on a handful of handwritten attack prompts drawn from one injection pattern at a single perturbation rate.

On Surface Grind Hardening Induced Residual Stresses [PDF]
Grind hardening process utilizes the heat generated in the grinding area for the surface heat treatment of the workpiece. The workpiece surface is heated above the austenitizing temperature by using large values of depth of cut and low workpiece feed ...

Linking Burglary and Target Hardening at the Property Level: New Insights Into Victimization and Burglary Protection [PDF]
This article draws on a recent study that examined the impact of target hardening on domestic burglary in the City of Liverpool, England, between July 2005 and December 2007. Individual property-level data, from a range of sources, were collated for each

Investigation of advanced strain-path dependent material models for sheet metal forming simulations [PDF]
Sheet metal forming processes often involve complex loading sequences. To improve the prediction of some undesirable phenomena, such as springback, physical behavior models should be considered.

On strain hardening mechanism in gradient nanostructures [PDF]
Experiments have shown that a gradient design, in which grain size spans over four orders of magnitude, can make strong nanomaterials ductile. The enhanced ductility is attributed to the considerable strain hardening capability obtained in the gradient ...

Ellipticity loss analysis for tangent moduli deduced from a large strain elastic–plastic self-consistent model [PDF]
In order to investigate the impact of microstructures and deformation mechanisms on the ductility of materials, the criterion first proposed by Rice is applied to elastic–plastic tangent moduli derived from a large strain micromechanical model combined ...

An aspect-oriented framework for systematic security hardening of software [PDF]
In this thesis, we address the problems related to the security hardening of open source software. Accordingly, we first propose an aspect-oriented and pattern-based approach for systematic security hardening.
