Diverse accessories are used in automobiles, such as navigation systems, front and rear cameras, spoilers, and sun visors. Sun visors block sunlight so that drivers can drive safely with a better view, and they are used in many automobile designs. However, when large plastic products are manufactured using injection molding, there are many difficulties that develop, like weld lines, short shots, flow marks, imperfections, and distortion. In this study, a CAE simulation was conducted based on previous results to predict potential problems in the injection molding of large products. The flow characteristics up to complete charge for the melting resins were captured using a computer-aided engineering simulation. The temperature departure on the front part of a flow was about $10^{\circ}C$ and very stable. The practical ejecting time of the cold runner was about 70 seconds in the simulation. Finally, the capability of a suitable injection machine was calculated and recommended by prediction of the injection pressure and the die clamping force.

플라스틱 성형 분야는 최근 급속도로 성장한 첨단기술 분야이다. 플라스틱 성형 분야는 종래 전문가의 경험에 주로 의존해 왔으나 시장의 요구가 점점 고급화, 다양화되어감에 따라 경험적인 내용에만 의존해서는 요구를 충족시키기 어렵게 되었다. 이러한 배경에 의하여 플라스틱 성형 분야에 CAE 기법이 도입되었고 괄목할 만한 발전을 이루고 있다. 본 논문에서는 플라스틱분야에서 개발된 최첨단 상용 CAE 소프트웨어인 Planets을 사용하여 기존의 상용 소프트웨어로서는 충분한 정밀도를 얻기 어려웠던 플라스틱 Gear에 대한 사례연구를 수행하였다.

Housing and insulation of electrical connectors are made of plastic resin by injection molding process. The metallic inner tube is easily deformed by high pressure during the injection process. In order to prevent deformation of the inner tube, it is desirable to simulate it by structural CAE analysis. However, it takes a long time to calculate the stress- of the part by commercially available injection molding CAE software with sufficient accuracy. In this study, structural analysis in conjunction with injection molding analysis is proposed to improve accuracy of the structural analysis. Pressure distribution on the inner tube is predicted by the injection molding CAE analysis, and then mapped onto the mesh of structural analysis by a mapping algorithm developed in this study. As a result reliable result is obtained in shorter time than the conventional method. The predicted deformation of the inner tube is compared with the actual part after experiment.

In this study, we design the feed system and process conditions for a lamp garnish lens of an automobile. For this purpose, four design alternatives are presented and injection molding simulation analyses are performed. The optimal feed system is selected by considering the formability of the product and the cost of mold manufacture. The product formability is assessed by the weld line, warpage, sink mark and the maximum injection pressure, whereas the mold-making cost is estimated by the number of valve gates in the hot runner system. To improve the product formability, process conditions are optimized using an experimental design approach named one-factor-at-a-time. No weld line is generated as a result of the optimization. In addition, it is found the warpage and sink mark are reduced while the maximum injection pressure is increased, compared with those before the optimization.

Thin-wall injection molding is associated with many advantages, including increased portability, the conserving of materials, and the reduction of the molding cycle times. In the application of the thin-wall molding, a considerable reduction of the effective flow thickness results in filling difficulty. High-frequency induction is an efficient way to overcome this filling difficulty by means of heating the mold surface by electromagnetic induction. The present study applies the induction heating to the injection molding of thinwalled micro structures with high aspect ratio. The feasibility of the proposed heating method is investigated through a numerical analysis. The estimated filling characteristics of the micro-features are investigated with variations of mold temperature and part thickness, of which results are also compared with experimental measurements.

Powder Injection Molding(PM) is an advanced and complicated technology for manufacturing ceramic or metal products making use of a conventional injection molding process, which is generally used for plastic products. Among many technologies involved in the successful PIM, injection molding process is one of the key steps to form a desired shape out of powder/binder mixtures. Thus, it is of great importance to have a numerical tool to predict the powder injection molding filling process. In this regard, a finite element analysis system has been developed for numerical simulations of filling process of powder injection molding. Powder/polymer mixtures during the filling pro cess of injection molding can be rheologically characterized as Non-Newtonian fluids with a so called yield phenomena and have a peculiar feature of apparent slip phenomena on the wall boundaries surrounding mold cavity. Therefore, in the present study, a physical modeling of the filling process of powder/polymer mixtures was developed to take into account both the yield stress and slip phenomena and a finite element formulation was developed accordingly. The numerical analysis scheme for filling simulation is accomplished by combining a finite element method with control volume technique to simulate the movement of flow front and a finite difference method to calculate the temperature distribution. The present study presents the modeling, numerical scheme and some numerical analysis results showing the effect of the yield stress and slip phenomena.
