Abstract. This study focuses on the optimisation of the injection moulding parameters to maximise the strength ofmoulded parts using a simulation software. The moulded parts were injected with AcrylonitrileButadiene-Styrene (ABS) whereas mould temperature, melt temperature, packing pressure and packing time were selected as variable process parameters. The polynomial model obtained using Design of Experiment (DOE) was integrated with the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Centre Composite Design (CCD). The RSM was supported with Genetic Algorithm (GA) to anticipate the optimum value of processing parameters with the highest strength. It was found that strength of the parts can be improved 2.2% using the methodology reported herein.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
