He, Y., Huang, T., Wang, Y., Nie, Y., Li, Y., & Wang, Y. (2017). A new lightweight design method integrating shape optimization with life cycle assessment for extrusion dies. Journal of Cleaner Production, 150, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2017.02.186

Extrusion dies, in which melted raw materials are forced continuously into a profile to produce various plastic products, are often empirically designed leading to overweight and waste in materials, energy and emissions. Lightweight design method has... Read More about A new lightweight design method integrating shape optimization with life cycle assessment for extrusion dies.
