Download or read book Fiber-dependent injection molding simulation of discontinuous reinforced polymers written by Wittemann, Florian and published by KIT Scientific Publishing. This book was released on 2022-11-18 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work presents novel simulation techniques for injection molding of fiber reinforced polymers. These include approaches for anisotropic flow modeling, hydrodynamic forces from fluid on fibers, contact forces between fibers, a novel fiber breakage modeling approach and anisotropic warpage analysis. Due to the coupling of fiber breakage and anisotropic flow modeling, the fiber breakage directly influences the modeled cavity pressure, which is validated with experimental data.
