In this paper, the effect of elastic foundation on the out of plane displacement of functionally graded circular plates using differential transform method is presented. Differential transform method is a semi-analytical-numerical solution technique that is capable to solve various types of differential equations. Using this method, governing differential equations are transformed into recursiv...

Informally, a public-key encryption scheme is k-circular secure if a cycle of k encrypted secret keys (Encpk1(sk2),Encpk2(sk3), . . . ,Encpkk(sk1)) is indistinguishable from encryptions of zeros. Circular security has applications in a wide variety of settings, ranging from security of symbolic protocols to fully homomorphic encryption. A fundamental question is whether standard security notion...

This paper presents a formalism for considering the issues of learning in design. A foundation for machine learning in design (MLinD) is defined so as to provide answers to basic questions on learning in design, such as, “What types of knowledge can be learnt?”, “How does learning occur?”, and “When does learning occur?”. Five main elements of MLinD are presented as the input knowledge, knowled...
