Injection molded plastic parts have many surface defcts: Warpage, wedline, flowmark, zetting, scratching, shading and so on. In the desktop mnitor's case, Weld line have been one of the main surface defects. Nowadays in the pursuit of light weight of parts, one of the big problems of LCD Monitor thinks Warpage and surface shrinkage. In this paper, we introduce some instances for prevevting these defestcs in the side of mould drawing, parts drawing and processing condition. Based on these, we tried to find out the optimum processing conditions through repeatedly tried injection moulding after reflecting these instances.

Recently, the application of the plastic material to automotive components and structures has steadily increased to satisfy demands on the saving of overall weight and the improvement of energy efficiency. The objective of this paper is to investigate the development of a bumper back-beam using a thermoplastic olefin (TPO). The bumper back-beam was designed to be manufactured from the injection molding process. In order to obtain a proper design of the bumper back-beam, three-dimensional finite element analyses were performed for various design alternatives. Stress-strain curves for different strain rates were measured by high speed tensile tests of the TPO to consider strain rate effects in the FEA. The influence of the sectional shape and the rib formation on the contact force-intrusion curves, the deflection and the energy absorption rate of the bumper back-beam was examined. From the results of the examination, a proper design of the bumper back-beam was acquired. The bumper back-beam consisting of TPO was fabricated from the injection moulding process and the vibration welding. Pendulum crash tests were carried out using the fabricated bumper back-beam. The results of the tests showed that the designed bumper back-beam can satisfy requirements of the federal motor vehicle safety standard (FMVSS). Through the comparison of the previously designed bumper back-beam with the newly designed bumper back beam, it was noted that the weight of the designed bumper back-beam is lighter than that of the previously designed bumper back beam by nearly 16 %. In addition, it was considered that the newly designed bumper back beam can improve recycling of the bumper back-beam.

일반적으로 사출금형의 사출주기는 플라스틱 제품의 냉각 시간에 크게 좌우되는 데, 냉각회로를 적용하여 조절할 수 있다. 금형의 냉각회로는 전통적으로 기계가공을 통하여, 직선형상만을 생성할 수 있었지만, 최근 적층조형 방법의 개발로 코어 형상을 따라가는 형상적응형 냉각회로를 생성할 수 있게 되었다. 한편 금형의 다이 재질로 열저항력이 크고, 치수변화가 적은 H13 스틸이 널리 사용되고 있지만, 열전도율이 낮기 때문에 냉각효율은 높지 않다. 이러한 점에서 열전달 효율을 극대화 시킬 수 있는 방법으로 H13 스틸과 구리(Cu)를 기능적으로 혼합한 기능성 경사 복합재(FGM)를 적층조형을 이용하여 냉각회로에 적용하는 방안이 검토되고 있다. 이러한 시도로서 본 논문에서는 H13 스틸과 Cu 간의 FGM을 이용한 형상적응형 냉각회로의 모델링 방법을 제안하고자 한다.
