Simulink and Stateflow (SL/SF) models are being widely used to design and develop embedded systems. Often the SL/SF models of embedded controllers turn out to be large and consist of many subsystems and hierarchies. When such a system is maintained, it becomes difficult to manually analyse the model to identify the impacted elements due to the existence of several explicit and implicit dependencies among the model elements. To automate the analysis of an SL/SF model, we propose a metamodel to capture various types of dependencies existing across the basic blocks. We have named this metamodel Simulink dependency graph (SLDG). We investigate the use of SLDG in change impact visualization and regression test selection. We have developed a prototype tool by implementing our approach for the aforementioned applications. 相似文献
One of the economic production quantity problems that have been of interest to researchers is the production with reworking of the imperfect items including waste most disposal form and vending the units. The available models in the literature assumed that the decay rate of the items is satisfied from three different points of view: (i) minimum demands of the customer’s requirement, (ii) demands to be enhanced for lower selling price and (iii) demands of the customers who are motivated by the advertisement. The model is developed over a finite random planning horizon, which is assumed to follow the exponential distribution with known parameters. The model has been illustrated with a numerical example, whose parametric inputs are estimated from market survey. Here the model is optimized by using a population varying genetic algorithm. 相似文献
Friction Stir Welding (FSW) of Cu-0.80Cr-0.10Zr (in wt pct) alloy under aged condition was performed to study the effects of process parameters on microstructure and properties of the joint. FSW was performed over a wide range of process parameters, like tool-rotation speed (from 800 to 1200 rpm) and tool-travel speed (from 40 to 100 mm/min), and the resulting thermal cycles were recorded on both sides (advancing and retreating) of the joint. The joints were characterized for their microstructure and tensile properties. The welding process resulted in a sound and defect-free weld joint, over the entire range of the process
parameters used in this study. Microstructure of the stir zone showed fine and equiaxed grains, the scale of which varied with FSW process parameters. Grain size in the stir zone showed direct correlation with tool rotation and inverse correlation with tool-travel speed. Tensile strength of the weld joints was ranging from 225 to 260 MPa, which is substantially lower than that of the parent metal under aged condition (~ 400 MPa), but superior to that of the parent material under annealed condition (~ 220 MPa). Lower strength of the FSW joint than that of the parent material under aged condition can be attributed to dissolution of the precipitates in the stir zone and TMAZ. These results are presented and discussed in this paper.
Cryogenic treatment has been used commonly to high-speed tool steels to enhance the wear resistance of the materials. In the current research study, specimens of complex alloyed high-speed tool steel (M35) were hardened at 1473 K (1200 °C), triple tempered at 673 K (400 °C) and then cryogenically treated at 88 K (?185 °C) for varying lengths of period starting from 16 to 48 hours of cryosoaking followed by soft tempering at 373 K (100 °C). These treated specimens were studied as a function of cryosoaking period for their electrical resistivity, residual compressive stress, and its correlation with carbide density was established. TEM analysis indicated carbide size 0.156 to 1 μm, which confirms that the cryogenic treatment enhances the precipitation of finer carbides. Lower residual stresses in the higher carbide density regimes identified in 2D contour map were explained by the stress relaxation in the matrix through precipitation of incoherent carbides. 相似文献
Hydrogen energy applications often require that systems are used indoors (e.g., industrial trucks for materials handling in a warehouse facility, fuel cells located in a room, or hydrogen stored and distributed from a gas cabinet). It may also be necessary or desirable to locate some hydrogen system components/equipment inside indoor or outdoor enclosures for security or safety reasons, to isolate them from the end-user and the public, or from weather conditions.Using of hydrogen in confined environments requires detailed assessments of hazards and associated risks, including potential risk prevention and mitigation features. The release of hydrogen can potentially lead to the accumulation of hydrogen and the formation of a flammable hydrogen-air mixture, or can result in jet-fires. Within Hyindoor European Project, carried out for the EU Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking safety design guidelines and engineering tools have been developed to prevent and mitigate hazardous consequences of hydrogen release in confined environments. Three main areas are considered: Hydrogen release conditions and accumulation, vented deflagrations, jet fires and including under-ventilated flame regimes (e.g., extinguishment or oscillating flames and steady burns). Potential RCS recommendations are also identified. 相似文献

In the last quarter of the twentieth century, a new class of materials, Geosynthetics, emerged prospectively leading significant innovation in the design of geotechnical and geoenvironmental systems. Geotextiles have proven to be among the most versatile and techno-economically viable ground modification materials playing a significant role in modern pavement design and maintenance techniques. With the growing environmental concern across the globe, technologists, researchers have inclined towards the natural geotextile where Jute Geotextile (JGT) is one of the potential candidates. But, JGT has been restricted mainly as underlay in road construction. Hence, there is an urgent need to design and develop a precise innovative fabric as overlay on existing pavements and other emerging civil works to stay technically and economically competitive in the global market. Such a fabric will not only prove techno-economically viable but will also reduce the carbon foot-print generation to a large extent. This paper delineates the development of Grey Jute Paving Fabric (GJPF) followed by its bituminization with suitable type and grade of bitumen to develop Bituminized Jute Paving Fabric (BJPF). The BJPF will enhance the life of the overlay thereby reducing the cost of maintenance as well as serving as a partial substitute of bitumen mastic. 相似文献
Two specific chemical receptive fields of brain, namely the amygdala and the orbital-frontal cortex, are related to valence and arousal in medical experiments. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), which is a noninvasive, repeatable, and atomical tool for medical imaging in clinic system, was widely used in affective computing; however, it faces its dataset processing difficulty for dimensional reduction as well as for decreasing the computational complexity. In addition, features extraction from those de-dimensionality datasets is a challenging issue. The current work solved the de-dimensionality issue by using some preprocessing algorithms including clustering, morphological segmenting, and locality preserving projection. In order to keep useful information in fMRI dataset for reduction process, improved neighborhood pixel-based locality preserving projection (NP-LPP) algorithm was addressed and continuously for feature extraction operating using Otsu weighted sum of histogram. Furthermore, a modified covariance power spectral density (MC-PSD) separately in an fMRI Valence–Arousal experiments was measured. The results were analyzed and compared with affective norms English words system. The experiments established that the proposed methods of NP-LPP effectively simplified high complexity of fMRI, and Otsu weighted sum of histogram exhibited superior performance for features extraction compared to the MC-PSD through the calculation root mean standard error. The current proposed method provided a potential application and promising research direction on human semantic retrieval through medical imaging dataset.
