Modeling and Design of Mechatronic Control Preheating Foundry Mold as a System with Distributed Parameters

Abstract

The article deals with modelling and control of preheating of mechatronics foundry mold as a system with distributed parameters. At the beginning of article the fundamental structures of distributed parameters systems are described. The mechatronics foundry mold and simulation model of it in COMSOL Multiphysics are described in the next part of article. Article also described the system identification of mold by using the process responses in MATLAB Identification Toolbox. Subsequently deals with the simulation control loop by using DPS Blockset for MATLAB & Simulink.
