TY - JOUR AU - Johanyák, Zsolt Csaba PY - 2014/01/20 Y2 - 2024/03/29 TI - Fuzzy Modeling of Thermoplastic Composites' Melt Volume Rate JF - COMPUTING AND INFORMATICS JA - Comput. Inform. VL - 32 IS - 4 SE - Articles DO - UR - https://www.cai.sk/ojs/index.php/cai/article/view/1974 SP - 845-857 AB - Melt volume-flow rate (MVR) is one of the most important quality indicators of composite materials, which depends on the proportion of the component materials. This paper reports the development of a low complexity fuzzy model that describes the relation between percentage amount of multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), polycarbonate (PC) and MVR of the resulting composite. The rule base was generated from a sample data set obtained from experiments by the rule base extension using default set shapes (RBE-DSS) method, and the applied fuzzy inference technique was the least squares method based fuzzy rule interpolation (LESFRI). The resulting model was validated against a separate test data set as well, and it was compared to a fuzzy model generated by a traditional commercial software tool. ER -
