Online Gate-Driven Flow Control in Resin Transfer Moulding Using a Neural-Network Surrogate

In resin transfer moulding, complete saturation of the fibre preform is necessary before the resin front reaches the outlet vent(s), to prevent dry-spot formation. In practice, the flow front rarely advances uniformly due to race-tracking effects. We propose a combined estimation and control strategy to address this is...
