Honest Ideals on Strand Spaces

In security protocol analysis, it is important to learn general principles that limit the abilities of an attacker, and that can be applied repeatedly to a variety of protocols. We introduce the notion of an ideal—a set of messages closed under encryption and invariant under composition with arbitrary messages—to express such principles. In conjunction with the strand space formalism, we use th...

Numerical Modeling and Experiments on the Role of Strand-to-Strand Interface Quality on the Properties of Oriented Strand Board

This paper discusses numerical modeling and experimental results on stress transfer in wood composites. The numerical model treats adhesive bonds using the concept of an imperfect interface. The displacement discontinuity at an imperfect interface is proportional to the tractions at the interface. A stiff interface will result in little discontinuity and maximum translation of wood component me...

Notes on the Virtual Spring Mass System

A force feedback system, such as the haptic wheel used in the EECS 461 lab, is capable of exhibiting a wide range of interesting phenomena. It is useful to remember that the system consists of a mechanical device (the wheel in our case), with two feedback loops wrapped around it. As shown in Figure 1, one feedback loop consists of (i) a sensor such as an encoder, tachometer, or strain gauge, (i...

LTCC course on Potential Theory , Spring 2012

The four lectures follow closely a textbook on Potential Theory in the Complex Plane by T. Ransford, apart from material on harmonic measure which has been borrowed from a lecture course Introduction to Potential Theory with Applications, by C. Kuehn. The material in lecture 5 is borrowed from a survey Logarithmic Potential Theory with Applications to Approximation Theory by E. B. Saff (E-print...
