Event driven embedded systems are one of the essential structures of heterogeneous embedded systems. The difference behavior of hardware and software motivates the usage of high-level system design approaches such as Hardware Software co-design Model
. The objective of this paper is to obtain a new Co-design model for discrete-events embedded systems based on Markov chains, and then using the heterogeneous modeling by composing the discrete-times model within discrete-events model to apply it on anti‐lock braking system (ABS). To achieve the model, we use Ptolemy II which is a Java-based software framework developed as part of the Ptolemy Project by University of California, Berkeley. The importance of this paper is to be the kernel for heterogeneous co-design modeling for heterogeneous embedded systems in future works.
The rheological behaviour in the molten state of Acrylo nitril– Butadine –
Styrene (ABS) according to temperature, shearing stress and shearing rate
have been studied. Measurements were made with a capillary viscosimeter for
the static properties.
The correction of experimental data has been carried out.
Viscosity decreases with increasing shear stress or shear rate in the nonnewtonian
flow high polymer systems. However, the variation of activation
energy with temperature at fixed shear rate is always less then at fixed shear
stress.
In the present work, the rheological and mechanical properties of
polypropylene /thermoplastic starch (PP/TPS) and acrylonitril-butadienestyrene/
thermoplastic starch (ABS/TPS) blends were investigated. Starch was
plasticized using glycerol, and b
lends were prepared using a laboratory scale
with single screw extruder. Rheological properties of the prepared blends were
determined using a capillary rheometer. Mechanical properties were studied in
term of tensile tests, stress at break, strain at break and Young's modulus were
determined.
In this work, Rheological and mechanical properties of acrylonitrile –
butadiene – styrene/ corn starch composites (ABS/starch) were studied. The
composites were prepared using a laboratory scale single screw extruder.
Rheological properties were
determined using the single screw extruder, and
apparent shear rate (γ), apparent shear stress (τ), apparent viscosity (η), non-
Newtonian index (n) and flow activation energy at a constant shear rate (Eγ)
and constant shear stress (Eτ) were determined. Mechanical properties in term
of tensile tests were performed using Testometric M350-10KN, stress at break,
strain at break and Young's modulus were determined. Rheological results
showed that the composites are pseudo plastic in behavior, and the apparent
viscosity of the composites increases with increasing starch content above the
additive rule which indicates a partial compatibility in the composite, also it
was found that the flow activation energy of the composite increases with
increasing starch content. Also it was found that the activation energy value at
a constant shear stress is more than that at a constant shear rate. The
mechanical results showed that the strain at break of the composite decreases
sharply by the presence of starch, whereas the young's modulus increases with
increasing starch content.
