OPTIMIZATION OF WORKING PARAMETERS OF INJECTION MOULDED RUBBER BUSH

Injection Moulding is a versatile manufacturing technique for forming of plastics.Present work focused on optimizing the process parameters of Nylon 66/graphite Mixer coupler Bush for better performance.Rubber bushings are effective in reducing the transmissions of shock and vibration between parts.The input parameters such as time, speed, Load which influence the performance of characteristics of Rubber Bush such as Temperature, Shear Stress, Shear Strain are studied.Experiments are conducted on jar mixer with coupler according to Taguchi's experimental design (L27) and the response values are recorded.This data is analysed and optimum levels for input put parameters are identified by using Fuzzy Logic and Genetic Algorithm.
