Integrating Microstructures and Dual Constitutive Models in Instrumented Indentation Technique for Mechanical Properties Evaluation of Metallic Materials See

Local variations in mechanical properties are commonly observed in engineering structures, driven by complex manufacturing histories and harsh service environments. The evaluation of mechanical properties accurately constitutes a fundamental requirement for structural integrity assessment. The Instrumented Indentati...

Introducing Repository Stability See

Drawing from engineering systems and control theory, we introduce a framework to understand repository stability, which is a repository activity capacity to return to equilibrium following disturbances - such as a sudden influx of bug reports, key contributor departures, or a spike in&#...

Shill bidding prevention in decentralized auctions using smart contracts See

In online auctions, fraudulent behaviours such as shill bidding pose significant risks. This paper presents a conceptual framework that applies dynamic, behaviour-based penalties to deter auction fraud using blockchain smart contracts. Unlike traditional post-auction detection methods, this approach preven...
