Determination of Residual-Stress Distribution in Engineering Plastics

공업용 플라스틱 성형품에 대한 잔류응력의 측정

Injection molding is a flexible production technique for the manufacturing of polymer products, but introduces residual stresses. Residual stresses in a structural material or component are those stresses which exist in the object without other external loads. The layer removal and hole drilling method are used for the measurement of residual stress in injection molded polystyrene part. The hole drilling method is potentially more flexible for determining residual stress in complex geometries and can be used as an adoptable technique for the measurement of residual stress in polymeric materials. Results obtained by experiments agree with each other.
