Observing of GMT-Sheet in molding conditions, we have investigated unexpected phenomenons of moldings surface. In microscope investigation, we observe that there exist deficiencies on the surface of GMT-Sheet moldings, such as the spherulite, fiber projection, crack, fiber exposure, micro-weldline, pinhole and winding. They are caused to arise unevenness and phenomenons influence polish on surface. Especially, the major cause of the unevenness, effected to surface roughness, is a shrinking of matrix in the process of holding pressure and cooling temperature. The higher holding pressure load in a molding process and the lower demolding temperature in an annealing experiment, the better GMT-Sheet moldings improved its appearance.

The penalty method has been widely applied to analyses of incompressible fluid flow. However, we have not yet found any prior studies that employed penalty method to analyze compressible fluid flow. In this study, with an eye on the apparent similarity between the slight compressible formulation and the penalty formulation, we have proposed a new approximate approach that can analyze compressible packing process using the penalty parameter l. Based on the assumption of the isothermal flow, a set of reference solutions was obtained to verify the validity of the proposed scheme. Furthermore, we have applied the proposed scheme to the analysis of the packing process of different cases.

In this study, with an eye on the apparent similarity between the slight compressible formulation and the penalty formulation, we have proposed a modified approximate approach that can analyze compressible packing process using the penalty parameter, which is an improvement on an earlier formulation (KSME, 2004B). Based on the assumption of the isothermal flow, a set of reference solutions was obtained to verify the validity of the proposed scheme. Furthermore, we have applied the proposed scheme to the analysis of the packing process of different cases.

Due to its ability in producing a net-shape product to high precision in a very shot cycle time, injection molding has become one of the most important polymer-processings in the industry today. Recently the CAE applications in the field of injection molding have provided significant contributions to the mold design and process optimization. As a part of such an application the packing process has been studied using C-PARK. The prediction of pressure variations during post-filling stage for amorphous material has been compared with an experimental observation for a simple rectangular geometry of uniform thickness. And the optimal packing processes were calculated using the cavity pressure curve near the gate. As a case study, a warpage simulation was carried out for a DY-HOLDER with the variable number of gates.

This study presents the preform injection molding and the blow molding of the injection stretch-blow molding process for PET bottles. The numerical analysis of the injection molding and the blow molding of a preform is considered in this paper using CAE with a view to minimize the warpage and the thickness. In order to determine the design parameters and processing conditions in injection/blow molding, it is very important to establish the numerical model with physical phenomenon. In this study, a three dimensional model has been introduced for the purpose and flow simulations of filling, post-filling and cooling process are carried out. The simulations resulted in the warpage in good agreement with the measurements. Also, from the result of numerical analysis, we appropriately predicted the warpage, deformation and thickness distribution along the product walls.

According to the evaluation on GMT-sheet by molding conditions, fiber projection on the moldings surface was investigated. Fiber projection is one of the major defects on moldings surface due to matrix shrinkage. That is, fiber projection happens from different shrinkage of matrix and glass fiber. Height of fiber projection from moldings surface becomes smaller when molding pressure is higher during holding pressure and cooling process. Height of fiber projection is dominantly affected by molding pressure. With consideration of molding pressure, the formation of surface unevenness and change in fiber projection height was elucidated. In addition, coating layer is effective to suppress surface defects, and there is no fiber projection or crack in case that coating is applied. Coating layer improves surface roughness up to the level of the polypropylene which is a single material.

사출성형에 관한 연구는 오랜 역사를 가지고 있으며 공정 시뮬레이션을 위한 상용화된 CAE 프로그램을 포함하여 많은 연구가 진행되는 분야중의 하나이다. 그러나 다양한 고분자 재료의 성질, 금형의 복잡한 형상 및 성형조컨 둥의 변화로 인해 금형설계 및 제작 그리고 사출성형시 상당한 어려움을 겪게 된다. 사출성형 공정에서는 금형온도, 플라스틱 재료, 냉각수, 보압과 사출압 등의 여러 가지 공정변수가 있어 현장전문가의 경험에 의해 사출금형의 제작이 이루어지는 경우가 보통이다 이와 같은 경험에 의한 금형 제작은 상당한 납기지연과 노동집약적인 방식으로 흘러가게 된다. 금형 제작시 가장 고려해야 될 사항 중의 하나는 사출성형품의 수축이다. 사출성형에서 광음수지는 냉각, 고화하면서 수축하는데 성형품 치수를 유지하기 위해서는 수축하는만큼 금형의 치수를 보정하여야 한다. 이 수축률은 사용수지의 종류와 성형품 크기, 살두께 등에 따라 다르다. 또 동일한 수지일 경우에도 성형조건에 따라 변화하고 특히 배향성을 가진 수지는 유동방향에 따라서도 변화가 있다. 즉, 금형의 온도가 높으면 수축률은 증가하고 사출압력이 높으면 감소한다. 또한 살두께가 두껍고 길이가 길 때 수축률은 증가한다 방향성이 있는 수지는 유동방향에 대하여 지각방향에서 가장 적다. 특히 방향성이 현저한 HDP에서는 유동방향에 따라 수축차가 크므로 성형할 때 변형을 일으키는 경우가 많다. 일반적으로 PE, PP. PA와 같은 결정성 수지는 PS, SAM, ABS 등의 비결정성 수지보다 수축률이 크다. 본 연구에서는 한조산업사에서 제작한 '클랠프 척' 금형 제작과정에서 성형품의 수축으로 인한 금형의 치수보정에 있어서의 문제점을 유동해석 전용 CAE 프로그램인 C-mold를 사용하여 해석하고 평가하였다. 그리하여 현장 전문가가 경험적으로 여러 번의 시행착오를 거쳐 완성된 금형을 제작하던 기존의 방법보다 체계적이고 합리적이며 또한 신속하게 문제를 해결함으로써 궁극적으로 금형설계 및 제작기간을 단축하고자 한다.
