The family of unidirectional continuous fiber reinforced polymeric composites are currently used in automotive bumper beams and load floors. The material properties and mechanical characteristics of the compression molded parts are determined by the curing behavior, fiber orientation and formation of knit lines, which are in turn determined by the mold filling parameters. In this paper, a new model is presented which can be used to predict the 3-dimensional flow under consideration of the slip of mold-composites and anisotropic viscosity of composites during compression molding of unidirectional fiber reinforced thermoplastics for isothermal state. The composites is treated as an incompressible Newtonian fluid. The effects of longitudinal/transverse viscosity ratio A and slip parameter $\alpha$ on the buldging phenomenon and mold filling patterns are also discussed.

Fiber reinforced plastic composites is widely used to make be lightening of aircraft and automotive owing to having high specific strength and specific modulus. And it is very important to know a charge shape in order to have good products in the compression molding. In particular, the product such as a bumper beam is composed of the random and unidirectional composite mats. Its deformation and charge shape are very different by stack type of random and unidirectional mats. In this paper, the characteristics of flow fronts such as a bulging phenomenon for step-type random/unidirectional composite mats and slip parameters are studied numerically. And the effects of viscosity ratio and stack type on the mold filling parameters are also discussed.

본 연구에서는 진공압추출법에 의해 제조되는 알루미나(AI$_2$O$_3$) 단섬유예비성형체의 제조공정시 발생하는 섬유들의 배향분포의 특징을 2차원 수치모사를 통해 밝혔다. 수치해석은 섬유의 배향분포를 2차원으로 가정한 후 제조공정시 섬유들이 적층되는 현상을 섬유의 낙하, 회전, 미끄러짐, 이동의 단계의 나누어 모델링하였다. 해석결과 섬유의 배향과 부피분율은 섬유의 종횡비(길이/지름)에 의해 크게 영향을 받으며, 배향 분포는 정규분포와 유사한 것으로 밝혀졌다.

The gate location in injection molding has a significant influence on the quality and productivity. Therefore, injection molding CAE is used to determine the gate location. With increasing injection molding CAE and the adoption of a 3D mesh, which takes more computation time for analysis, gate location optimization in the shortest time and least resources is the most challenging issue. In this paper, we propose a methodology for optimization based on the flow length to consider the flow balance and weld line. In addition, the flow balance is obtained in the disc-type plate while the weld lines exit the slit-holes to avoid a stress concentration.

In this study, a 2-step stamping model with an additional 1st stamping tool is proposed to reduce stamping flaws in the curved parts of a dimple in a nuclear fuel spacer grid. First, the strains of curved part of dimple are characterized via a comparison with strain solutions in pure bending. A reference 2D finite element (FE) model of 1-step stamping is then established, and the corresponding maximum strain is obtained. By varying the values of design variables of the 1st stamping tool in the 2-step stamping model, FE solutions are obtained to express the strain as a function of process variables, which provides the optimum values of process variables. Finally, applying these optimum values to a 3D FE model, we demonstrate the enhanced formability of the proposed 2-step stamping model.

A numerical analysis was performed to investigate the effects of notched blasthole in controlling the fracture plane. Analyzed were elastic and elasto-plastic response of rock, and fracture propagation under static and dynamic load conditions. Results showed that the region exceeding the tensile strength extended up to three times the radius of a normal blasthole in elastic analysis, while fifteen times in elasto-plastic analysis. It was shown that a crack was driven from the notch tip up to the distance of 23 times the hole radius in the case of a notched blasthole with a notch of 5 mm in depth and 30 mm in length.

In the vacuum assisted RTM (VARTM) process that has become the center of attention for manufacturing massive composite structures, a good evacuation of air in the fiber preform is recognized as the prime factor. The microvoids, or the dry spots, are formed as a result of improper gate/vent locations and the mold geometry. The non-uniform resin velocity at the flow front leads to the formation of microvoids in the fibers, whereas the air in the microvoids can migrate along with the resin flow during mold filling. The residual air in the internal voids of a composite structure may cause a degradation of the mechanical properties as well as the structural failure. In this study, a unified macro- and micro analysis methods were developed to investigate the formation and transport of air in resin during VARTM process. A numerical simulation program was developed to analyze the three-dimensional flow pattern as well as the macro- and microscopic distribution of air in a composite part fabricated by VARTM process.

최근까지 발표된 유한 요소법을 이용한 압연 해석 관련 주요 논문들을 정리해 보면 다음과 같다. Li와 Kobayashil는 강소성 유한 요소법(rigidplastic finite element method)을 여러가지 마찰조건에 대하여 해석하였다. 이때 압연롤은 강체 (rigid body)로 시편은 가공경화(workhardening)를 동반한 강소성체로 모델링하였다. Hwang과 Kobayashi는 강소성 유한 요소법을 이용한 평면 변형 압연에서 재료 손실을 최소화하는 예비 성형체(preform)의 설계에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 이 경우에도 역시 압연롤은 강체로 시편은 가공 경화를 동반한 강소성체와 완전 소성체로 모델링 되었으나, 고착(sticking) 마찰 조건에 대해서만 해석을 수행하였다. Mori와 Osak- ada 그리고 Oda는 약간 압축성이 있는 재료의 평면 변형 압연에 대하여 연구하였다. 이때 압연롤은 강체로 시편은 가공 경화를 동반한 강소성체로 모델링 되었으며 경계 면에서는 Coulomb 마찰을 고려하였다. 이밖에도 오일러(Eulerian) 수식화를 이용한 Dawson과 Thompson, Berman의 해석 결과가 있으며, 또 폭 방향의 변형까지를 고려한 Li와 Kobayashi, Mori와 Osakada의 3차원 해석 결과가 있다.
