Leeds/Bradford: Wednesday 17 October, 3pm-5pm, Bradford University
Applications of experimentation and statistical analysis: Case studies from polymer processing and
automotive engineering
Felician Campean and Leigh Mulvaney-Johnson (University of Bradford)
Statistical methods are used within engineering to obtain dynamic response data from a system
through efficient design of experimentation. Optimisation methods are often applied, as in the
design of vehicle engine management system, to deliver low emissions, fuel economy, comfort and high
performance.
Polymer processing uses designed experimentation to examine the links between process set points and
key product features. These data can be used to validate simulation results of emerging
technologies, such as gas assisted injection moulding, against expected experimental results and
allows a means by which to choose process set points for desired product geometry.
The meeting will be held at Bradford University, Room WB19 (Polymer Engineering Laboratory) in the
Richmond Building. Signs will lead you from the main Richmond reception to the venue. The meeting
will start at 3.30pm with refreshments from 3pm.
