Optimization of fiber-orientation distribution in fiber-reinforced composite injection molding by Taguchi, back propagation neural network, and genetic algorithm–particle swarm optimization

Fiber orientation induced by injection molding of short-fiber-reinforced composites causes anisotropy in material properties and produces warping. Fiber-orientation distribution is very important to research for mold design and quality to produce sound molded parts. In this study, three kinds of met...
