摘要
Gate type selection is very important for mould design. Improper gate typemay lead to poor product quality and low production efficiency. Although numerical simulationapproach could be used to optimize gate location, the determination of gate type is still up todesigners' experience. A novel method for selecting gate type based on fuzzy logic is proposed. Theproposed methodology follows three steps: Design requirements for gate is extracted and generalized;Possible gate types (design schemes) are presented; The fuzzy mapping relationship between gatedesign requirements and gate design scheme is established based on fuzzy composition and fuzzyrelation transition matrices that are assigned by domain experts.
