Extrusion Process Control, Part II: Identification and Open Loop Control

For pt.I see ibid., p.3726-30. Our work has been focused on developing a methodology for process control of bulk deformation-specifically, extrusion. In Part I, we developed a dynamical system model which could be used for real-time applications. In this paper, we use this model development plus output relationships from our previous model development work (1995, 1996) to develop parameter identification and open-loop control methodologies. An example with plant trial data is provided.
