Optimization of the injection molding process of Derlin 500 composite using ANOVA and grey relational analysis
Warpage and shrinkage control are important factors in proving the quality of thin-wall parts in injection modeling process. In the present paper, grey relational analysis was used in order to optimize these two parameters in manufacturing plastic bush of articulated garden tractor. The material used in the plastic bush is Derlin 500. The input parameters in the process were selected according ...
متن کاملModel-Assisted Control of Flow Front in Resin Transfer Molding Based on Real-Time Estimation of Permeability/Porosity Ratio
Resin transfer molding (RTM) is a popular manufacturing technique that produces fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. In this paper, a model-assisted flow front control system is developed based on real-time estimation of permeability/porosity ratio using the information acquired by a visualization system. In the proposed control system, a radial basis function (RBF) network meta-model is ...
متن کاملOn-line Characterization of Bulk Permeability and Race-tracking During the Filling Stage in Resin Transfer Molding Process
Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) is widely used to manufacture polymer composite materials. In this process, the fiber preform is placed in a closed mold and thermoset resin is injected to saturate the preform. After the resin cures the mold is opened and the net shape composite part is obtained. With RTM, one is capable of making complex and high quality composite parts with short cycle times. How...
متن کاملOptimization of Plastic Injection Molding Process by Combination of Artificial Neural Network and Genetic Algorithm
Injection molding is one of the most important and common plastic formation methods. Combination of modeling tools and optimization algorithms can be used in order to determine optimum process conditions for the injection molding of a special part. Because of the complication of the injection molding process and multiplicity of parameters and their interactive effects on one another, analytical...
متن کاملDeterministic and Reliability-Based Optimization of Composite Laminates for Cryogenic Environments
Designs of composite laminates are investigated for hydrogen tanks in cryogenic environments. Large residual strains, which can develop due to thermal mismatch between matrix and bers, result in matrix cracking at cryogenic temperatures and increase hydrogen leakage through the tank wall. To reduce thermal mismatch, ply angles need to be close to each other, but this leads to a substantial we...
