Abstract:
This study deals with the experimental analysis of fiber reinforcement of
rotational molding processes and its numerical model based evaluation. The
experiments are carried out to get patterns, using linear low density polyethylene
(LLDPE) and glass fiber, to improve its surface finish, strength and
hardness. For that design of experiment (DoE) is performed and then various
experiments has been conducted. The theoretical optimum value is obtained and
is compared with the experimental values. The optimum value by experimental
calculations i.e., the weight of LLDPE and weight of fiber, with constant time, is in
the permissible error with the theoretical value. This justifies that the
experimental designs obtained are of optimum/local optimum value. Furthermore
using a random population of points is generated and factors, which can improve
the optimum design, are identified and reported
