Effect of Carbonyl Iron Particle Concentration on The Printability and Stiffness of Magnetorheological Elastomer Filaments
Abstract: Magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) are increasingly valued for their field-responsive mechanical properties, making them ideal for adaptive components in automotive, aerospace, and vibration control systems. However, conventional mould-based fabrication methods limit design flexibility, produce excess material waste, and are unsuitable for complex or customized geometries caused challenges that have hindered broader industrial adoption. Although 3D printing offers a compelling alternative, research on printable MRE filaments remains limited, particularly regarding how carbonyl …

Random Forrest Based Man-in-the-Middle Attack Detection in Advanced Metering Infrastructure
Abstract: Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) plays a central role in the operation of modern smart grid (SG) systems by enabling continuous, two-way communication between utility providers and consumers. Through this communication, AMI supports real-time monitoring, dynamic pricing, and efficient energy management. However, the same connectivity that makes AMI effective also increases its exposure to cyber threats. One of the most critical threats is the man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack, in which an attacker …
