Abstract: A non-Newtonian, non-isothermal flow analysis has been developed to assist the design of a self-compensating polymer melt regulator, which is a device capable of regulating the melt pressure in ...

Abstract: Dimensional consistency is a critical attribute for injection molded part quality and is highly dependent on the polymer morphology, the thermal expansion, and various processing parameters. The ...

Abstract: Model validation is the procedure whereby the fidelity of a model is evaluated. The traditional approaches to dynamic model validation consider model outputs and observations as time series and ...

Abstract: This paper presents the modeling, design, and experimental validation of a self-energized sensor system for pressure measurement in the injection mold cavity using ultrasound as the information ...

Abstract: A new signal-processing technique based on analytic wavelet transform has been developed for detecting and differentiating temporally overlapped ultrasonic pulse trains that carry spatially distributed ...

Abstract: Most plastic processing set points are variables that need to be defined for each sample point of the cycle. However, in the absence of on-line measures of part quality, the set points cannot ...
