Computer Modeling For Injection Molding: Simulation, Optimization, And Control

Chinese engineers contribute to a systematic and comprehensive introductory textbook on computer modeling for injection molding, the most important process in manufacturing plastic products. After setting out the background, they consider such topics as mathematical models and numerical implementation for filling and packing simulation, simulating residual stress and warpage, developing and applying simulation software, non-iterative optimization methods, optimization methods based on surrogate models, and multivariate statistical process control.
