Abstract

One of the common problems found in rubber compression moulding is the shrinkage of rubber products leading to the loss of shape. In this research, an application of artificial neural network in prediction of the rubber product shrinkage in compression moulding is presented. A back propagation neural network was developed to determine the shrinkage based on the variables of the rubber compound, processing variables such as mould temperature and mould sizing. The neural network prediction for an inside diameter shrinkage and a cross section diameter shrinkage indicate that the architectures 5-11-21-1 and 5-11-16-1 provide a good prediction within 95.9% and 96.1% accuracy, respectively.
