Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinite Element Simulation and Parametric Studies of Perfobond Rib ConnectorSuhaib Yahya Kasim Al-Darzi, Ai Rong Chen, Yu Qing LiuSimulating the push-out test and conducting parametric study using finite element model are conducted using perfobond connectors. The finite element model was verified through comparing with push-out test results. The verified finite element model was then used to conduct parametric study aiming to investigate the effect of several parameters, such as height and thickness of connector, cross sectional area and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 8,218 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Secure Database Encryption SchemeZongkai Yang, Samba Sesay, Jingwen Chen, Du XuThe need to protect database, would be an every growing one especially so in this age of e-commerce. Many conventional database security systems are bugged with holes that can be used by attackers to penetrate the database. No matter what degree of security is put in place, sensitive data in database are still vulnerable to attack. To avoid the risk … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2004 · 7,348 accessesView PDFCite
