본 연구의 목표는 임의의 3차원 사출성형 금형 공간내에서 단섬유 강화 플라스틱의 충전 공정에서의 과도기적 섬유방향성을 예측하는 수치해석 프로그램의 개발에 있다. Hele-Shaw 방정식에 단섬유에 의해서 추가된 응력을 고려한 Dinh-Armstrong의 모델을 도 입함으로써 새로운 충전과정의 압력 지배 방정식이 유도되었다. 새로운 압력지배 방정식은 단섬유에 의한 응력 때문에 몇 개의 새로운 항들을 포함하고 있다. 충전 과정의 해석은 새 로운 압력지배방정식과 에너지 방정식을 유한효소법과 유한 차분법을 이용하여 풀고 동시에 배향텐서(roientation tensor)의 변화 방정식을 4차 Runge-Kutta 방법을 이용하여 풀었다. 단섬유 배향 텐서를 텐서의 변환 법칙을 이용하여 임의의 3차원 금형 공간내의 모든유한요 소의 중심에서 두께방향의 모든유한 차분 격자를 따라 계산하였다. 이러한 방법으로 임의의 3차원 사출성형 금형 공간내에서 비등온 충전유동과 과도기적 3차원 섬유배향상태를 서로의 상호작용을 고려하여 수치 모사하여 다양한 유동 형태에 따른 단섬유 배향 상태의 변화에 대하여 알아보고자 한다.

The optimization of cooling system parameters for designing injection mold is very important to acquire the highest part quality. In this paper, the integration of computer simulations of injection molding and Analysis of Variance(ANOVA) with orthogonal array was used as a design tool to optimize the cooling system parameters aimed at minimizing the part warpage. The design optimizer was applied to find the optimum levels of cooling system parameters for a dustpan. This optimization resulted in more uniform temperature distribution over the part and significant reduction of a part warpage, showing the capability of present method as an effective design tool. The whole optimization process was performed systematically in a proper number of cooling simulations. The design optimizer can be utilized effectively in the industry practice for designing mold cooling system with less cost and time.

A warpage analysis program has been developed for fiber-reinforced injection molded parts. The warpage is predicted from the residual stress and anisotropic thermo-mechanical properties coupled with fiber orientation in the integrated injection molding simulation. A simple elastic model is used for the calculation of thermally and pressure-induced residual stresses which are employed as the initial conditions in the structural analysis. To improve the reliability of warpage analysis, a new triangular flat shell element superimposing well-known efficient plate bending and membrane element is presented. The numerical examples address the necessity to use anisotropic models for fiber-reinforced materials and show that predicted warpage is in good agreement with experimentally measured one.

Mg alloy is widely used for the IT, auto and consumer electronics industries. Semi-solid casting(SSC) of magnesium alloys is used to produce high quality components. SSC process is analogous with the injection molding of plastics. The high strength and low weight characteristics of magnesium alloys render the high-precision fabrication of thin-walled components with large surface areas. To produce thin-walled magnesium alloy parts, SSC process parameters on the quality of the finished product should be clearly studied. In this paper, to select optimal process parameters, Taguchi method is applied to the optimal design of the process parameters in the SSC process. The die temperature, injection velocity and barrel temperature of the SSC process are selected for the process parameters. The effectiveness of the optimal design is verified through the CAE software.

In this paper, the geometric design for the body of a 3"-PFA-lined plug valve is concerned, and body model which has less deformed PFA-resin after infection molding process is proposed. A CAE software is used to simulate the deformation due to heat in cooling. To reduce the deformation, some small shapes are added to PFA-resin surfaces related on wall of the valve housing. And thermal stress simulation with FEM methodology is followed after that. Also, the 3D-CAD package is used during the design processes. In this study, I tried to present the possibility to use the FEM analysis in the solid modeling process. So, the design engineer will be able to use analysis package effectively on his job within the limited range.

The major problems of a plastic injection mould can be devided into two kinds, one is in mould another in injected parts. Most of defects of the former comes from mould design, such as, structure and working. The latter are weld line, warpage, sink mark, burning, flow mark, scratching, shading, black hole and so on. Most of problems in injection molding are difficult to find the reason because of complexity. The purpose of this paper is to improve the quality of plastic injection mould and parts with inquiring the counter plan and analizing troubles of the part of Flat TV Front Cover by flow control method and gas-assisted injection moulding. For minimizing defects of the injection moulded parts, computer aided simulation method for injection mould filling was used. Based on these numerical results, the guidelines of mould design and injection processing condition were established. As a result, the improvement of quality, such as minimizing surface defects of injection moulding parts and troubles in mould was achieved.

The metal lead frame, a semiconductor component, has product tolerances in micro units as compared to products made with a larger size mold. Therefore, small deflections of the mold and of the press as well as the press molding process itself have a strong influence on accuracy of the product. Hence, it is necessary for the process design to consider the structural response of the mold and the press during deformation. In the current study, the mold deflection and pressure on the punch is examined using the finite element modeling (FEM) program ABAQUS. The results from the simulation were verified with the dynamic deformation measurement equipment using digital image correlation (DIC).

This paper presents the PDMS surface characteristic change after the plasma process and the electroosmotic flow control technique for the two-dimensional focusing in the micro channels made of PDMS and glass. The channels are fabricated by plastic molding and micromachining technique. To observe the surface characteristic change as time elapses, we measure the contact angle of water on the surface and the velocity of the electroosmotic flow in a channel. The electric field adequate for focusing of a core flow in a confluence channel is obtained by the experiment. The computer simulation is performed to obtain the width and the depth of the core flow for several junction angles of the confluence channel.

Recently, silicone is being used for LED chip lens due to its good thermal stability and optical transmittance. In order to predict residual stresses, which cause optical birefringence and mechanical warpage of silicone, a finite element analysis was conducted for the curing of silicone during molding. For the analysis of the curing process, a dynamic cure kinetics model was derived based on the results of a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) testing and applied to the material properties for finite element analysis. Finite element simulation results showed that a step cure cycle reduced abrupt reaction heat and showed a decrease in the residual stresses.
