Fog-assisted Internet-of-Things (Fog-IoT) systems are deployed in remote and unprotected environments, making them vulnerable to security, privacy, and trust challenges. Existing studies propose security schemes and trust models for these systems. Ho... Read More about A Secure Integrated Framework for Fog-Assisted Internet-of-Things Systems.

Wrinkling of a compressed hyperelastic half-space with localized surface imperfections (2020)
Journal Article
Fu. (2020). Wrinkling of a compressed hyperelastic half-space with localized surface imperfections. International Journal of Non-Linear Mechanics, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijnonlinmec.2020.103576

We consider a variant of the classical Biot problem concerning the wrinkling of a compressed hyperelastic half-space. The traction-free surface is no longer flat but has a localized ridge or trench that is invariant in the x1-direction along which th...

Rayleigh waves in micro-structured elastic systems: Non-reciprocity and energy symmetry breaking (2020)
Journal Article
Nieves, M., Carta, G., Pagneux, V., & Brun, M. (2020). Rayleigh waves in micro-structured elastic systems: Non-reciprocity and energy symmetry breaking. International Journal of Engineering Science, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijengsci.2020.103365

Rayleigh waves are analysed in elastic lattices incorporating inertial devices that couple in-plane displacements. The vector problems of elasticity for a triangular lattice and its long-wavelength/low-frequency continuum approximation are considered...
