Article Abstract

Injection molding is a highly nonlinear procedure that is easily influenced by various external factors, thereby affecting the stability of the product's quality. High-speed injection molding is required for production due to the rapid cooling characteristics of thin-walled parts, leading to increased manufacturing complexity. Consequently, establishing appropriate process parameters for maintaining quality stability in long-term production is challenging. This study selected a hot runner mold with a thin wall fitted with two external sensors, a nozzle pressure sensor and a tie-bar strain gauge, to collect data regarding the nozzle peak pressure, the timing of peak pressure, the viscosity index, and the clamping force difference value. The product weight was defined as the quality indicator, and a standardized parameter optimization process was constructed, including injection speed, / switchover point, packing, and clamping force. Finally, the optimized process parameters were applied to the adaptive process control experiments using the developed control system operated within the micro-controller unit (MCU). The results revealed that the control system effectively stabilized the product weight variation and standard deviation of 0.677% and 0.0178 g, respectively.

China Coal Shanxi China Resources Liansheng Energy Investment Co., LTD, Lvliang, 033000, China.

Bolt support improves the stress state of the surrounding rock and forms an integral bearing structure inside the anchored surrounding rock. Therefore, it is of theoretical significance and practical application value to systematically study the mechanical mechanism and bearing characteristics of the anchorage composite carrier and elucidate the interaction mechanism between the bearing effect of the anchorage composite carrier and the stability of the roadway surrounding rock. In this paper, a mechanical model for the anchorage composite carrier is meticulously constructed through a fusion of theoretical analysis and advanced numerical simulation techniques.

Rolling schedule design for the ESP rolling process based on NSGA-II-DE.

Multiple processes connected closely during the endless strip production (ESP) rolling, it is difficult to obtain the global optimal solution by multi-objective modelling of a single process, and the parameters to be optimized coupled with each other. To obtain the optimal solution, a multi-objective optimization model combining the power consumption, product quality, and loading balance was proposed for the design of an ESP rolling schedule. The thickness and heating temperature were simultaneously taken as the decision variables for coupling the temperature and loading in the rolling process, and the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II) based on differential evolution (NSGA-II-DE) was applied to obtain the Pareto solutions.
