OPTIMIZATION OF A PULTRUSION PROCESS USING FINITE DIFFERENCE AND PARTICLE SWARM ALGORITHMS

AbstractPultrusion is one of several manufacturing processes for reinforced polymer composites. In this process fibers are continuously pulled through a resin bath and, after impregnation, the fiber-resin assembly is cured in a heated forming die. In order to obtain a polymeric composite with good p...
