Effectiveness and Productivity Improvement of Conventional Pultrusion Processes
Doctoral Thesis
The Doctoral Thesis investigates the effectiveness and productivity improvement of conventional pultrusion processes. Anew effective non-linear optimisation methodology, based on experimental design and response surface technique, has been developed. An application of this methodology with two objective functions has been successfully demonstrated for the pultrusion process producing a rod profile made of glass fibre and polyester resin. New electromagnetic-thermo-chemical finite element models and algorithms have been developed for a real advanced microwave-assisted pultrusion process that manufactures a rod profile. An evaluation of the developed microwave-assisted pultrusion process in comparison with the real conventional pultrusion process has been done.
