Process Prediction for Compound Screws by Using Virtual Measurement and Recognizable Performance Evaluation

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The focus of this work is the determination of a predictive model for calculating the wear on the mixing screw during the injection molding process.

The topic is a very important one in the new and developing area of micro-manufacturing. For this reason also I acknowledge the novel approach the author has taken and the connection with the future through the focus on Industry 4.0.

There are however a number of problems with the way this work has been communicated that would make the reader question the validity of the work. A number of the main statements do not read well and present as technical inaccuracies through ambiguity. Providing clarity in these key areas would allow the reader to determine the value of the results. I address these in detail in the attached document.

Reviewer 2 Report

This paper is interesting since it adresses some numerical methods for the control of the polymer processing operations. These methods arec closed to intelligence artificial works.In this way, I suggest the authors to read the articles of Ibanez et al (Fluids, 2020, 5, 94) and Casteran et al (Macromolecula Material Engineering, 2020, 305, 2000375).

 

 

I'm not sure that this way to cite some references is suitable for publication:

Chin-Yi Lin, Yu-Ming Hsieh, Fan-Tien Cheng, Hsien-Cheng Huang, and Muhammad  Adnan [2]

sould be Lin et al  or Lin and coworkers
