Artificial Neural Network: Artificial Neural Network Approach to Predict the Elastic Modulus from Dynamic Mechanical Analysis Results (Adv. Theory Simul. 4/2019)

In article number 1800131, Xianbo Xu and Nikhil Gupta report on combining an artificial neural network and viscoelastic theory to recover the elastic modulus of graphene‐reinforced composites from dynamic mechanical analysis results. Instead of conducting numerous tensile tests, the method can predict the elastic modulus over a range of strain rates and temperatures from a...

Uncertain Regulatory Theory and Law Hampers Consumer IoT Cybersecurity

Poor regulation of the consumer IoT electronics sector compounds the negative market incentives discussed in the first part of this series. While standards for IoT devices are taking shape in some sectors of the U.S. economy, no similar regime has been developed for the broad consumer IoT electronics market. Moreover, little expert consensus has developed...
