“…Research studies have provided little insight on the post-adoption effects of cloud computing technology in the case of SMEs. Cloud computing technology fascinates SMEs because it is cost-effective (Hussin et al, 2018). Zhang et al (2021) explored cloud computing technology from the vendor's perspective.…”

“…The cost-effectiveness feature of cloud computing technology fascinates SMEs in adopting this technology. Numerous studies provided empirical evidence that cost reduction was the major benefit of cloud computing technology that increased SMEs' efficiency and sustainability (Hussin et al, 2018). Cloud computing is considered reliable, cost-effective and a source that minimizes the efforts and increases organizational efficiency.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the adoption of cloud computing as a digital technology by small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and assess its impact on sustainability of such enterprises. Design/methodology/approach A model was developed that featured factors influencing SMEs sustainability. Primary quantitative data was gathered using a survey as an instrument. Total set of n = 387 responses were gathered using a convenience sampling method. Findings Findings reveal that cost reduction, ease of use, reliability and sharing and collaboration factors have significant statistical impacts on SMEs sustainability, whereas privacy and security factor has no significant statistical on SMEs sustainability. Practical implications The study poses significant implications on managers and SME development authority to create an inductive environment for technological support for SMEs’ sustainability. Originality/value The study enhances SMEs’ performance and sustainability by upgrading their existing information and communications technology as a digital infrastructure and benefiting from novel IT-based cloud revolution. Several studies have provided an understanding of the use of cloud computing services in SMEs but lack enough information about the challenges and impact on SMEs sustainability.

“…Selection of modeling index of solid mechanics is a key step in establishing a new parametric model. When using the center-difference equation to solve the solid-mechanical equations, the nonlinear convergence of the model itself can be used to improve the high degree of vectorization and parallelization of modeling index [11,12]. In general, the common solid mechanics modeling index includes four types, and the mutual constraints between them can be expressed as Figure 3.…”

Traditional parametric models of solid mechanics have disadvantages such as poor lightweight level of cloud data and low integrity of operations of solid mechanics. To solve the above problems, a parametric model for solid mechanics in engineering research based on cloud computing models is designed. By calculating the number of cloud data copy optimizations, the upper limit of resources required for engineering research is estimated, and the specific values is assessed by continuously cycling the demand, so as to complete the basic conflict analysis, and set up a cloud computing engineering research environment. On this basis, the modeling index is selected. By analyzing the sensitivity of the index, the purpose of optimizing the modeling parameters is achieved, and a new solid mechanics parametric model is constructed. Analyzing and contrasting the experimental data shows that after applying the parametric model of solid mechanics in the engineering research based on the cloud computing model, the lightweight level of cloud data can be increased by up to 24 levels, and the operational integrity of solid mechanics can be increased by about 30%.
