Lensknob is a component that transmits light to users. It is essential to minimize the deformation to transmit the light uniformly. As a method of finding injection molding parameters capable of minimizing the deformation, the amount of deformation of the Lensknob was predicted in advance by numerical analysis of the injection molding. However, because it takes a considerable amount of time to analyze, we used the Decision tree as a Machine Learning model. As the injection molding parameters, we set the melting temperature, cooling time, holding time, holding pressure, and ram speed. We set the injection molding parameters based on the range recommended by Moldflow. A full factor method of factor 5 level 3 was applied in the experiment. We predicted the parameters for minimizing the deformation through the Decision tree learned with 243 experimental data. We set the criteria to evaluate the performance of the Decision tree. The parameters predicted by the Decision tree improved the deformation by about 10.37%.

The paper generalizes the Timoshenko model for thick bars, using a new model that is applied to the vibration study of multilayer composite bars. In the proposed mathematical model, three coefficients are introduced that take into account the non-uniformities of the tangential and normal stresses in the bar section. The vibrations of some composite bars with a polypropylene honeycomb core with a thickness of 10 mm, 15 mm and 20 mm are experimentally studied, on the faces of which one or two layers of carbon fiber, respectively glass fiber was poured. For each analysed bar, the stiffness and the equivalent modulus of elasticity are determined and the variation of the damping coefficient according to the length of the bar is studied.

Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) is the most popular and widely used additive manufacturing process for printing polymer and composite products. Various production factors influenced the strength and stiffness of the part manufactured by 3D printing. A comprehensive experimental analysis was conducted in this study to examine the effect of FFF process parameters (infill density, pattern, and layer thickness) on mechanical properties and failure mechanism. The tensile, flexural, and impact test specimens were printed using ABS and carbon fibre reinforced ABS filaments in accordance with ASTM standards. Furthermore, dynamic properties are studied using dynamic mechanical analysis to estimate the loss factor and glass transition temperature under the impact of temperature and frequency in addition to static properties. Further, the results showed the addition of carbon fiber in ABS increases the mechanical properties. The failure modes are studied using optical microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy images and it has been visualized that due to improper layer deposition, poor bonding between the previous layer and low infill density creates a void in the specimen which results in poor mechanical properties. The Dynamic Mechanical Analysis showed that at higher frequency the molecular movement decreases which in turn stabilizes the composite behavior and reduces the loss factor.

Improving the crystallization performance of poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) is necessary to adapt for various applications. In the current work, N, N -bis(isonicotinic acid) 1, 4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid dihydrazide (NAIAH) was synthesized to be firstly aimed at promoting the crystallization of PLLA, and the NAIAH-nucleated PLLA materials were prepared using PLLA as a matrix material and NAIAH as a nucleating agent, and the crystalline nucleation, melting behavior, thermal decomposition and mechanical properties of PLLA/NAIAH samples were investigated by the relevant testing instruments. The results from the non-isothermal melt-crystallization from the melt of 190oC indicated that the NAIHA could significantly accelerate PLLA�s crystallization, and played an efficient heterogeneous nucleation in PLLA�s crystallization. The effect of different final melting temperatures on PLLA�s melt-crystallization behavior showed that a relatively low final melting temperature was beneficial for the crystallization of PLLA, and the 170oC was the optimum final melting temperature in this study. An increase of cooling rate could weaken PLLA/NAIAH�s crystallization ability, but the NAIAH was still able to promote PLLA�s crystallization upon the fast cooling at 50oC/min, showing a powerful crystallization accelerating effect of NAIAH. PLLA/NAIAH�s melting behaviors after different crystallization conditions were affected by heating rate and crystallization temperature, and the double melting peaks appeared in melting DSC curves were assigned to melting-recrystallization. Thermal decomposition processes in air showed that the NAIAH decreased PLLA�s thermal stability, but the interaction of PLLA with NAIAH had an inhibition for a drop in onset decomposition temperature. Additionally, the introduction of NAIAH dramatically reduced PLLA�s tensile modulus and elongation at break.

The purpose of experiment was the highlight of the creep of ring from polyethylene pipe subjected to internal pressure. To create the internal pressure in the HDPE pipe ring, a weight of 4.5 kg was superimposed on it, in the form of a cylindrical plate. In order to evaluate the strains of the elastic element subjected to the tensile stress, respectively compression, tensometric marks 1 and 2 are placed on the outside, in the case of the circular section. The internal pressure test was performed to evaluate the strains of the material of a PE 100 polyethylene ring in two directions: one axial (longitudinal) and the other transverse (circumferential) in order to highlight the creep of the pipe material due to its structure. In a polyethylene pipe stressed at internal pressure, due to the symmetry the tangential stresses are zero. The axial strain initially showed a positive increase, followed by a decrease, reaching negative values towards the end of the experiment, while the circumferential strain recorded positive values, about 300 times higher than the initial ones. The principal stress changed approximately linearly. The circumferential stress recorded the maximum value of σ1=0.33 MPa (3.3 bar) after two and a half hours of experiment. Based on such this test could be calculate Poisson s ratio ν.

In the course of the research, the gasoline presence in material structure of the pipe samples was noted to make the process unstable, and the curves representing a change in the characteristic values under study, depending on the immersion time in diesel fuel, tended to decrease throughout the entire immersion period. The experiments have shown that in the study of samples absorbing capacity a full saturation was obtained when immersed in diesel fuel and, despite large difference in absorbance values, the volume of absorbed hydrocarbons caused decline close to the studied characteristic values. Motor oils produced the most significant effect on the HDPE samples studied characteristics at the relatively low absorption values.

As part of this work, research was carried out on the effect of the addition of expanded perlite (PR) on the mechanical and thermomechanical properties of high-density polyethylene (PE) composites. Composites containing from 1 to 10 wt% of the inorganic filler were produced. Polyethylene-based composites manufactured by twin-screw extrusion and formed in the compression molding process were subjected to mechanical, thermomechanical, and structural analyses. The structure of polymer composites and filler was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It has been correlated with the static tensile tests and results of dynamic thermomechanical analysis (DMA). As part of the work, several thermomechanical parameters were calculated, and the obtained results were discussed with the evaluation of interfacial adhesion based on microscopic analysis. The research showed that despite introducing a 10 wt% of particle-shaped filler, the composites show increased stiffness without noticeable deterioration in tensile strength, simultaneously reducing toughness and brittleness. The analysis of the thermomechanical properties showed the lack of significant effects of the filler influence on the polymer matrix.

Metal-containing ionic liquids with general formula [Rmim]+MX3- (R=n-butyl or n-lauryl; M=Zn, Cd; X=Cl, Br) were synthesised and then characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and infrared spectroscopy. The catalytic activity was tested in glycolysis of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) with ethylene glycol (EG) with the main product being bis-2-hydroxyethyl terephthalate (BHET). The following parameters were varied: the catalyst type, the catalyst loading and the molar ratio between PET and EG. For every reaction conversion and selectivity were calculated. All these reactions arose with high selectivity in the desired product, the conversion of PET being quasi-total.

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is becoming the most promised additive manufacturing (AM) process in recent years due to the evident benefits, such as high design flexibility, low cost, friendly and economically use. The current study considers an optimization of four different FDM parameters varied in three levels, as layer thickness (0.17 mm, 0.25 mm and 0.33 mm), infill density (25, 50 and 75%), shell thickness (0.8 mm, 1.2 mm and 1.6 mm) and raster angle (0o, 30o and 60o) with an objective to reduce printing time, part weight and to enhance flexural modulus using Polyethylene Terepthalate - glycol modified (PET-G) material. Mono optimization of FDM input parameters has been done using signal to noise ratio method obtained from Taguchi�s L9Orthogonal Array (OA) and multi response optimization is applied through Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) and technique of order preference similar to ideal solution (TOPSIS) techniques. The response or its criteria weightages are calculated using Shanon�s entropy and CRITIC method which gives different weightages for the considered responses. Printing time ranks top with 37% from entropy method followed by flexural modulus with 36% and part weight ranks last with 28%. Flexural modulus ranks tops with 43% followed by part weight with 29% and printing time takes last position with 28% weightage.The ranking of alternatives from GRA- entropy and GRA- CRITIC methods are similar by recommending A1B1C1D1 (0.17 mm layer thickness, 25% infill density, 0.8 mm shell thickness and 0� raster angle) but TOPSIS-entropy and TOPSIS - CRITIC methods suggested different parameter combination A2B3C1D2 (0.25 mm layer thickness,75% infill density, 0.8 mm shell thickness and 30� raster angle). From all the four different methods adopted for optimization, the parameter setting obtained from level total suggests A2B1C1D2 (0.25 mm layer thickness, 25% infill density, 0.8mm shell thickness and 30� raster angle) and completely opposite to the ranking of alternatives. The carried - out confirmation trials carried out validated the optimized settings resulted from different methods. Infill density is found to be the most significant factor as compared to other input factors over the output assessed parameters.
