Liquid silicone rubber (LSR) has been widely used in automotive, electrical, and medical components. Thus, research on the use of LSR in the injection molding process is required to obtain high-quality and high-performance products. In this study, a mold was fabricated to examine the effects of the process parameters on the molding and mechanical properties of LSR parts. A computer-aided engineering analysis was used to optimize the air vent depth and curing temperature to decrease the flash at the air vents caused by the low viscosity of LSR. Temperature and pressure sensors were mounted in the mold to determine the effects of the process parameters on the temperature and pressure in the cavity. The tensile strength of the LSR parts was also examined in relation to the process parameters.

In this study, an injection mold with ultra-small surface properties was manufactured using nanosecond laser processing. A superhydrophobic characteristic analysis was performed on the PET specimen manufactured through this. To this end, a hydrophobic pattern was defined using the Cassie-Baxter model. The defined features were selected with a spot diameter of 25um and pitch spacing of 30um and 35um. As a result of the basic experiment, it was confirmed that the fine pattern shape had an aspect ratio of 1:1 when the pitch interval was 35um and 20 iterations. Through the determined processing conditions, a hydrophobic pattern was implemented on the core surface of KP4. A specimen with a hydrophobic pattern was produced through injection molding. The height of the molded hydrophobic pattern is 20 ㎛ less than the depth of the core and the contact angle measurement results are 92.1°. This is a contact angle smaller than the superhydrophobic criterion. Molding analysis was performed to analyze the cause of this, and it was analyzed that the molding was not molded due to the lack of pressure in the injection machine.

현재 사출성형분야의 Computer Aided Testing(CAT) 방법론으로 CAE(Computer Aided Engineering)를 이용한 수치 해석 기법이 주를 이루고 있다. 그러나 최근 시뮬레이션에 추가로 인공지능 기법을 응용하는 방법론이 연구되고 있다. 우리는 지난 연구에서 다양한 Machine Learning 기법을 활용하여 사출 성형 공정에 따른 변형 결과를 비교하였으며, 최종적으로 MLP(Multi-Layer Perceptron) 예측모델을 생성하였고, HMA(Hybrid Metaheuristic Algorithm)를 이용하여 최적화 결과를 얻어냈다. 그러나 MLP는 예측 성능이 우수한 반면 블랙박스와 같이 결정 과정에 대한 설명이 부족하다. 본 연구에서는 Radiator Tank 부품에 대하여 사출 성형 해석 소프트웨어인 Autodesk Moldflow 2018을 이용하여 수치 해석 기법으로 데이터를 생성하고, Machine Learning 소프트웨어인 RapidMiner Studio version 9.5를 활용하여 여러 Machine Learning Algorithms 모델을 생성하여 평균 제곱근 오차를 비교하였다. Decision-tree는 Root Mean Square Error(RMSE) 값이 다른 Machine Learning 기법에 비해 양호한 예측 성능을 갖추고 있었다. Decision-tree의 크기를 결정하는 Maximal Depth에 따라 분류 기준을 높일 수 있지만 복잡성도 함께 증가시켰다. Decision-tree를 이용하여 구속 조건을 만족하는 중간 값을 선정하여 시뮬레이션을 진행한 결과 기존의 시뮬레이션만 진행한 것보다 7.7%의 개선 효과가 있었다.

Although the net-shape molding of composites is generally recommended, molded composites frequently requires cutting or grinding due to the dimensional inaccuracy for precision machine elements. During the composite machining operations such as cutting and grinding, the temperature at the grinding area may increase beyond the allowed limit due to the low thermal conductivity of composites, which might degrade the matrix of composite. Therefore, in this work, the temperature at the grinding point during surface grinding of carbon fiber epoxy composite was measured. The grinding temperature and surface roughness were also measured to investigate the surface grinding characteristics of the composites. The experiments were performed both under dry and wet grinding conditions with respect to cutting speed, feed speed, depth of cut and stacking angle. From the experimental investigation, the optimal conditions for the composite surface grinding were suggested.

Pit and rim formation on the Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene(ABS) plastic surface was evaluated after it was irradiated by $CO_2$ and Nd:YAG laser beams. Our results show that thermal effect floor was well observed at the outer wall of pit with $CO_2$ laser irradiated while it was not the case with Nd:YAG laser irradiated. Also the volume and depth of pit formation increase proportionally with the energy intensities of two laser irradiations, but there are significant differences in the slope, width, and FWHM of the Pit formation with two types of laser irradiations. This result shows that $CO_2$ laser irradiation leads to better cooling contraction effect while Nd:YAG laser irradiation induces better recoil pressure effect during the interaction between ABS plastic and laser beam irradiation. The shape of the laser marking could vary significantly depending on the traveling path of molten plastic during injection molding of ABS plastic. Therefore, the selection of material and molding process can have a great impact on the performance of optical storage media.

In this paper, we describe a simple, precise and low cost method of fabricating PDMS stamp for UV embossing. It is important to improve the replication quality of stamp because the accuracy of fabricated structure is related to that of the stamp in UV embossing. The PDMS stamp has been fabricated by the replica molding technology with ultrasonic vibration to eliminate micro-air bubbles during the fabrication process of PDMS stamp. Also, this fabrication to use ultrasonic vibration promotes PDMS solution to fill into micro channel and edge parts. We report the fabrication of an optical core using UV embossing with fabricated PDMS stamp. This fabricated core is $7\;\mu{m}\;at\;depth,\;6\;\mu{m}\;at\;width.\;This\;measured\;value\;has\;the\;difference\;below\;1\;\mu{m}$compared to the original stamp. The surface roughness of core is about 14 nm root mean square. This is satisfactory value to use low-loss optical waveguide. Our successful demonstration of precise replica technology presents an alternative approach for the stamp of UV embossing.

사출성형공정은 충전, 보압, 냉각, 이형 및 취출 순서로 이루어진다. 이러한 공정 중 보압단계에서 캐비티 내에 가장 큰 압력이 주어진다. 따라서 캐비티 내압은 보압전환 시점과 보압의 크기에 가장 크게 영향을 받는다. 캐비티의 큰 내압은 금형에 큰 응력을 집중시켜 금형을 손상시킬 우려가 있으므로 캐비티 내압을 관찰하고 조절하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 이론해석과 실험을 통하여 보압전환 시점과 보압의 크기에 따라 캐비티 내압을 분석하였다. 보압전환 시점이 늦어짐에 따라서 내압이 증가하였다. 또한 보압전환이 늦어지면서 충전시간이 길게 되어 전체적으로 압력을 받는 시간이 길어져 보압 이후 냉각이 끝난 후에도 잔여압력이 존재하였다. 캐비티 내의 압력은 보압크기가 커질수록 비례적으로 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 역시 보압의 크기가 클수록 냉각 후 잔여압력이 증가하였다. 결과적으로 보압전환 시점이 늦고 보압크기가 크면 캐비티 내에 높은 압력이 형성되고 냉각이 끝난 후에도 잔여압력이 존재함을 알 수 있었다. 실험과 해석을 비교해 보았을 때 전체적인 경향은 매우 유사하였으나 해석에서는 잔여압력을 예측하지 못하였다. 캐비티 내압 조절을 위해서는 보압조건의 설정이 중요하며 CAE 해석을 통하여 최적 조건 설정이 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

The cooling system optimization for injection molds was studied with a response surface method in the previous research. It took so much time to find an optimum solution for a large product due to an extensive amount of calculation time for the CAE analysis. In order to use the optimization technique in the actual design process, the calculation time should be much reduced. In this study, we tried to reduce the number of design variables with the concept of the close relationship between the depth and the distance of cooling channels. The optimum ratio of the distance to the depth of cooling channels for a 2-dimensional problem was 2.0 so that the optimum ratio was again sought out for 4 industrial products. The major cooling effect of the injection molds for large products rely on baffle tubes. The optimum ratio of the distance to the depth for baffle tubes was 2.0 for the large products. The result enables us to reduce the number of the design variables by half in the cooling system optimization problem.
