Quality assessment of products from polymeric materials designed for engineering purposes

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to develop a methodology for determining the input parameters of high-frequency equipment in order to perform diagnostics in the automatic mode as well as to improve the quality of products made of polymeric materials under conditions of modern production. Having considered a high-frequency control method for the products from polymer composite materials the paper substantiates the choice of the high frequency diagnostic method as the most suitable for non-destructive testing. Description is also given to the existing problems of technological operations of diagnosing and improving of polymer operational properties. The set goal is achieved through the analysis of research works and conducted experimental studies in this area. The main control parameters and the process of high-frequency radiation exposure of the products of various shapes and sizes are specified. The paper presents graphic results. A software package has been created that calculates the parameters of product diagnosing in the automation mode. The results of experimental studies are provided and estimated in order to prove the hypotheses put forward and the adopted mathematical solutions for input parameter selection. A methodology has been developed for determining and setting the main parameters of high-frequency equipment in order to implement the diagnosing and improve operational properties in the automation mode.
