Glass/carbon fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP/CFRP) and hybrid components have attracted increasing attention in lightweight applications. However, residual stresses induced the manufacturing process of these can result warpage and, eventually, negatively affect mechanical performance composite structures. In present work, GFRP, CFRP, GFRP/steel CFRP/steel were manufactured through prepreg-press-...

Quality control is an important aspect of manufacturing processes. Product quality of injection molded parts is influenced by the injection molding process. In this study statistical tools were used to develop a model that relates injection molding process variables to part quality. A statistically based model predictive control algorithm was developed for controlling part quality with manipula...
