Experimental creep data for a built-up aluminum/titanium structure subjected to heating and loading

Experimental creep, temperature, and strain data resulting from a laboratory experiment on a built-up aluminum/titanium structure are presented. The structure and the experiment are described in detail. A heating and loading experiment lasting approximately six hours is conducted on a test structure. Considerable creep strain resulted from compressive stresses in the heated skin. Large residual stresses were found after the experiment was completed. The residual stresses in the substructure frames were large enough to preclude further cycles of creep experiments with this built-up structure because of concern that the frame webs would buckle

WHAT ODD EVEN EFFECTS MEAN IN LOW ENERGY FISSION ?

Odd even effects in fragment quantities from 233U(nth, f), 235U(nth, f) and 239Pu(nth, f) are, explained in terms of a statistical pair breaking mechanism during the descent from saddle to scission point. The probability that no pair will be broken is of the order of 1 per 1000. For 233U(nth, f) and 235U(nth,f), the average number of broken pair are 3.5 and 4., respectively, and the variances of the corresponding distributions are 1.4 and 1.3. The probability for one broken pair to be of protons (neutrons) is proportional to the numbers of proton (neutron) pairs in the system

Breaking a secure communication scheme based on the phase synchronization of chaotic systems

A security analysis of a recently proposed secure communication scheme based on the phase synchronization of chaotic systems is presented. It is shown that the system parameters directly determine the ciphertext waveform, hence it can be readily broken by parameter estimation of the ciphertext signal.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figure
