Separation of the closure lid from the drum-type radioactive material packages employing the conventional clamp-ring closure has been a safety concern. Currently, the evaluation of drum-closure separation problems resorts to expensive and time-consuming tests. Therefore, an analytical capability to predict drum-closure separation is desired. However, the conventional methods of dynamic analysis are not applicable to this subject. The difficulty of the problem mainly lies in solving the complicated preload stresses on the multiple contacted surfaces during claim-ring tightening and in integrating the preload results with the subsequent drop simulation. A technique has been previously proposed by Wu for the dynamic analyses of containers with locking-ring closures (Reference 1). This paper presents a refinement of the proposed technique and also extends the technique from the dynamic simulation of one single drop to the simulation of two sequential drops. The finite-element method with explicit numerical integration scheme is utilized to simulate both the closure bolt tightening process and the drop impact. The essential aspects of the proposed technique include: quasi-static simulation of clamp-ring tightening process; association of the floor motion with the package motion before the drop simulation starts; and creation of the package velocity before impact starts. To verify the proposed numerical technique, an analysis is performed for the 6M Package with a standard clamp-ring closure to simulate the following three sequential loading conditions: the preload caused by tightening the clamp ring; a NCT 4-foot drop; and a HAC 30-foot drop. The analytical results are compared with the results of the sequential NCT and HAC drop tests of a 6M Package with the standard clamp-ring closure. The test results have verified that the proposed numerical technique is capable of predicting the drum closure separation with respect to drop heights as well as the deformed shape of the package.

In this paper, Dynamic analysis for the process of opening net is studied base on a new anti-riot device, focusing on the problem that dynamics modeling of fully compliant anti-riot net during the process, a new equivalent method is proposed. This method regards the anti-riot net as a variable drag coefficient rigid body, and regards four traction heads as a suppositional traction head, so the process of opening net can be transformed to the problem for movement of two rigid bodies, furthermore, the dynamic equations for the process of opening net was derived from this method. These equations are used to simulate the process of opening net; the simulation results are compared with test results to verify the practicability of the method.

This article proposes a novel simulation technique to predict the reasonable dynamic characteristics of a suspension seat for heavy machinery using a commercial multibody dynamic analysis code, ADAMS. The dynamic model is simulated with the specific condition such as sinusoidal and sweep input. The experiment test for actual suspension seat is conducted for reviewing the dynamic simulation model with same input condition. As the simulation results shows good agreements with experimental test results, the dynamic analysis model is reasonable and will be very helpful for predicting the dynamic characteristic for the suspension seat for heavy machinery and for designing the other type seats with the other suspension mechanism types.

The number of unique malware variants released each year is on the rise. Researchers may often need to use manual static and dynamic analysis to study new malware samples. Manual analysis of malware samples takes time. The more time taken to analyse a malware sample, the larger the damage that a malware can inflict. A lot of techniques have been devised by researchers to facilitate malware analysis and one of them is through malware visualization. Malware visualization is a field that focuses on representing malware features in the form of visual cues or images. This could be used to convey more information about a particular malware. Existing malware visualization techniques lack focus in visualizing malware behaviour in such a way that could enable better analysis of malware samples. In this paper, a new technique for malware visualization called ‘Malware Behaviour Image’ is presented. From the test results, the proposed technique is able to accurately capture and highlight malicious behaviour of malware samples, and can be used for malware analysis, detection and identification of malware variants.

This article highlights the dynamic analysis of a proportional valve controlled hydrostatic drive. Such drives are used widely in construction and mining applications. In the drive considered for the analysis, the speed of a bent-axis hydro-motor is controlled by varying flow supplied through a proportional direction controlled valve. A non-linear mathematical model using bond graph simulation technique is developed, where detailed model of the drive system including its loading arrangement is incorporated. From the test results of the pressure-flow characteristics of the valves, its port resistances are identified. Using them and taking into account various losses of the hydro-motor, the drive model is validated through experiments. The verified model is used to study the effects of the perturbations of some critical parameters on the transient responses of the hydrostatic drive through simulation. The proposed model may be useful for initial design of such drive and the development of control systems where these drives are used as actuators.

This study explored whether or not standard administration and scoring of conventional articulation tests accurately identified children as phonologically disordered and whether or not information from these tests established severity level and programming needs. Results of standard scoring procedures from the Assessment of Phonological Processes-Revised, the Goldman-Fristoe Test of Articulation, the Photo Articulation Test, and the Weiss Comprehensive Articulation Test were compared for 20 phonologically impaired children. All tests identified the children as phonologically delayed/disordered, but the conventional tests failed to clearly and consistently differentiate varying severity levels. Conventional test results also showed limitations in error sensitivity, ease of computation for scoring procedures, and implications for remediation programming. The use of some type of rule-based analysis for phonologically impaired children is highly recommended.
