Professor Wang's largest area of research involves the injection molding of polymers. This project is aimed at the development of an integrated system for mold design, mold making, and process control, starting from a basic knowledge of fluid mechanics, materials engineering, and computer technology. A computer-based system approach is used to address problems involving the computer-aided design and manufacturing of molds, simulation of molding dynamics, characterization of rheological properties of polymers, the mechanical properties of molded parts, and control of the injection-molding process. |
| Current Projects |
- Computer-Aided Injection Molding System (National Science Foundation and the Cornell Injection Molding Program [CIMP], an industrial consortium)
- Net-Shaped Die-Casting (National Science Foundation)
