This paper addresses a method for numerical simulation in the pressing process of hot glass. Updated Lagrangian finite element formulations are employed for the flow and energy equations to accommodate moving meshes. The model is assumed axi-symmetric and creep flow is assumed due to the high viscosity. Commercial software ANSYS is used to solve the coupled flow and energy equations. Moving contact points as well as free surface during the pressing are effectively calculated and updated by utilizing API functions of CAD software Unigraphics. The mesh distortion problem near the wall is overcome by automatic remeshing, and the temperatures of the new mesh are conveniently interpolated by using a unique function of ANSYS. The developed model is applied to the pressing process of TV glasses. In conclusion, the presented method shows that the pressing process accompanying moving boundary can be simulated by effectively combining general purpose software without resorting to special dedicated codes.

최근 고화질 카메라폰이 경박단소화 되는 경향에 따라 Plastic렌즈 또는 구면 Glass렌즈만으로는 요구되는 광학적 성능 구현이 힘들기 때문에 비구면 Glass렌즈에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있다. 이러한 비구면 Glass렌즈는 일반적으로 초경합금 성형용 코어를 이용한 고온압축 성형방식으로 제작되어지기 때문에 코어면의 초정밀 연삭가공 및 코어면 코팅기술 개발이 시급한 상황이다. 한편, 대표적인 난삭재 Silicon Carbide(SiC)는 광학적 특성 및 기계적 특성, 전기적 특성 등 우수한 특성을 가진 재료로서 우주망원경, 레이저 광 및 X선 반사용 미러 등 다종, 다양한 용도로 이용되고 있으며 전기, 전자, 정보, 정밀기기의 급격한 발전으로 SiC의 수요가 급격히 증가하고 있다. 비구면 Glass렌즈 성형용 코어를 SiC소재로 제작할 경우 성형용 코어의 수명향상, 렌즈 생산원가의 절감 및 코팅 과정의 간소화 등의 다양한 장점을 가지므로 SiC를 이용한 성형용 코어의 나노 정밀도급 초정밀 연삭가공기술의 개발이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 3 메가픽셀, 2.5배 광학 줌 카메라폰 모듈용 비구면 Glass렌즈 개발을 목적으로 실험계획법을 적용하여 초경합금 성형용 코어의 연삭조건을 규명하였다. 초경합금 비구면 성형용 코어의 초정밀 연삭가공조건 및 결과를 바탕으로 난삭재인 Silicon Cabide(SiC)의 연삭가공조건을 구하고 이를 이용하여 비구면 Glass렌즈 성형용 코어를 초정밀 연삭가공하였다.

Aspheric glass lenses was fabricated by glass molding press(GMP), which is a plano-aspheric convox shape and intended for use as an optical design of 3 megapixel and 2.5 magnifications zoom in a camera phone module. Transcription ratio of form accuracy (PV) as well as resolution properties was measured for evaluation the molded lens. Form accuracy (PV) of the mold surface was $0.127\;{\mu}m$ in an aspheric and $0.168\;{\mu}m$ in a plano, in case of the molded lens it shows $0.205\;{\mu}m$ and $0.223\;{\mu}m$, respectively. Resolution of the molded lens was measured as a MTF[Contrast]. The molded lens shows contrast of 32.9% at 80 1p/mm and the value is similar with contrast of 33% obtained simulation.

Densification occurs by the inelastic flow of the matrix materials during the consolidation processes at high temperature for MMCs, and the results depend on many process conditions such as applied pressure, temperature and volume fraction of fiber and matrix materials. This is particularly important in titanium matrix composites since material failure may occur by either the applied conditions or microstructural parameters through the processes, and thus a generic model based on micro-mechanical approaches enabling the evolution of density over time to be predicted has been developed. The mode developed is then implemented into FEM so that practical process simulation has been carried out. Further the experimental investigation of the consolidation behavior of SiC/Ti-6Al-4V composites using vacuum hot pressing has been performed, and the results obtained are compared with the model predictions.

Glass-fiber reinforced polymeric composites provide the desitable properties of high stiffness and strength as well as specific weight. Hence, they have become some of the most important materials in several industries. These composites can be grouped into thermoplastic and thermoset composites, with thermoplastic composites having several advantages over thermoset composites in mechanical properties and processing. As a result, the study of the material behavior and forming techniques of such composites has attracted considerable attention in recent years. When the continuous fiber-reinforced polymeric composites are molded by flow molding, the molded parts leads to be nonhomogeneity and anisotropic because of the separation and orientation of fibers. As the characteristics of the products are greatly dependent on the separation, it is very important to clarify the separation in relarion to molding conditions, fiber mat structures and mold geometry. In this study, the effects of the mold geometry and the fiber mat structure on the compression moldability are studied using the cup-type molding.

During compression molding of fibre-reinforced thermoplastics, the two main problems such as the fibre-matrix separation and the fibre orientation are produced by the flow state. As the molded product tends to be nonhomogeneous and anisotropic due to the separation and the orientation, it is necessary to clarify these in relation to the molding process variables and the fibre structure (fibre entanglement). If the entanglement of fibre structure is strong, the separation increases and the orientation is not easily aligned. Namely, these are inseparably related to each other. The correlation between the separation and the orientation have to be clarified for designing the fibre structure. In this paper, the degree of nonhomogeneity which is a measure of the separation is obtained using one-dimensional rectangular shaped part compression molding. And the orientation function is defined and measured by the image processing using soft X-rayed photograph and image scanner. Correlation between the degree of nonhomogeneity and the orientation function is discussed.

In order to analyze the high temperature phase formation and the sinterability of super ionic conductor $K^+-{\beta}/{\beta}"-Al_2O_3$ which is commonly used as a solid oxide electrolyte, the pure $K^+-{\beta}/{\beta}"-Al_2O_3$ powder in the ternary system $K_2O-LiO_2-Al_2O_3$ was synthesized by solid state reaction and formed to tube and disk using slip casting method and cold isostatic pressing (CIP), respectively. The slip casting was conducted in an alumina mold with the slurry containing 40 wt% of solid contents and the CIP was carried out under 20 MPa. The samples were sintered at $1600^{\circ}C$, $1700^{\circ}C$ and $1750^{\circ}C$, respectively, and their phase formation and the sintering density were investigated according to the forming method. The samples produced by CIP showed far higher ${\beta}"-Al_2O_3$ fraction as compared with those by slip casting. On the other hand, the samples by slip casting showed slightly higher sintering density. The relative density reached to about 83% at $1750^{\circ}C$ and for 1 h, independent of the forming method. In the case of 90 min socking time, the density was decreased owing to the exaggerated grain growth and the pores by $K_2O$ evaporation.

Pressurized high temperature plastic resin flows into the cavity of mold and is solidified in injection molding process. Residual stress is being developed in injection molded part because of high temperature variations and high pressure. Developed residual stress relaxes as time goes. Consequently this makes part deformed and deteriorates quality of product. A measurement method of residual stress for injection molded transparent articles has been investigated using photoelasticity. Light, a composite of electromagnetic waves, is purified into a single wave by a polarized film. When this wave passes through the specimen, birefringence is developed according to the level of residual stress in the specimen and color fringed pattern appears after the second polarized film. Residual stress in the injection molded transparent flat a part has been measured quantitatively using the color fringed pattern. Optical characteristics have been a part also predicted by computer simulation and compared with experimental results.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the high temperature deformation behavior of Ti-6Al-4V alloy and to predict the final microstructure under given forming conditions. Equiaxed and widmanstatten of Ti-6Al-4V alloys were prepared as initial microstructure and the compression tests were performed to obtain the flow curves at high temperatures (700∼1100$^{\circ}C$) and various strain rates (10$\^$-4/∼10$^2$/s). Form the results of compression test various parameters such as strain rate sensitivity (m) and activation energy (Q) were calculated and used to establish constitutive equations. To predict the final microstructure after forming, finite element analysis was performed considering the microstructural parameters such as the grain size and the volume fraction of second phase.

PAN계 탄소섬유와 페놀수지를 이용하여 rod를 인발성형 한 후, 다른 섬유분율을 갖는 두종류의 hexagonal type 4D 프리폼을 제작하였다. 석탄계 핏치를 가압함침 탄화공정을 통하여 함침한 후 탄화와 고온열처리를 하였다. 이와 같은 공정을 반복하여 고밀도화된 4D CRFC를 제조하였다. 열충결 시험 후 새로운 크랙이 생성되었을 뿐만 아니라 기존의 크랙이 확장되었으며 이와 같은 크랙들은 공기와의 접촉면을 제공하여 중량감소를 보였다. 공기 산화 저항성을 고온열처리 공정을 거친 것이 약 20% 우수하게 나타났다. 4D CFRC의 밀도와 섬유의 분율이 높을 수록 삭마 저항성이 커지고, 삭마량은 시간에 따라 선형적으로 증가하였으며 type II가 type I보다 삭마저항성이 우수하였다. 삭마 메카니즘을 관찰한 결과 1차적으 기질의탈리가 먼저 일어난 다음 섬유가 삭마되었다.
