反应注射成型充模过程驻留时间分析

在反应注射成型实际生产过程中，如何选择工艺参数是一个一直使操作者为难的问题。本文利用反应注射成型过程中驻留时间的概念，通过对喷泉流模型进行适当的简化分析，得出在ＲＩＭ充模过程中驻留时间与模腔无量纲纵向ｘ坐标和模腔厚度ｚ坐标之间的关系，并得出最大驻留时间线１＝２ｘ３（１－ｚ２），作出充模过程驻留时间分布曲线。忽略ＲＩＭ充模过程的热传导项，无量纲温度Ｔ与反应进度Φ相同，是流体在模腔内驻留时间线的等值线。将数值计算的反应进度值、温度值与模型计算作比较，基本符合，偏差的出现是由于模型中对前流区的简化处理，恒定粘度假设以及忽略热传导作用。为避免在充模过程中出现过早凝胶现象，在反应进度达到凝胶点时驻留时间不应大于１，这一结论有助于ＲＩＭ加工过程工艺参数的选择

Three-dimensional nonisothermal mold filling simulations in resin transfer molding

The manufacture of polymer composites through the process of resin transfer molding (RTM) involves the impregnation of the reactive polymer resing into a mold with preplaced fibrous reinforcements. Determination of RTM processing conditions requires the understanding of various parameters, such as material properties, mold geometry, and mold filling conditions. Modeling of the entire RTM process provides a tool for analyzing the relationship of the important parameters. This study developed a nonisothermal 3-D computer simulation model for the mold filling process of RTM based on the control volume finite element method. The model will be able to simulate mold filing in molds with complicated 3-D geometry. Results of some numerical studies in RTM show the applications of the proposed model.     

Resin transfer molding process optimization using numerical simulation and design of experiments approach

The art of resin transfer molding (RTM) process optimization requires a clear understanding of how the process performance is affected by variations in some important process parameters. In this paper, maximum pressure and mold filling time of the RTM process are considered as characteristics of the process performance to evaluate the process design. The five process parameters taken into consideration are flow rate, fiber volume fraction, number of gates, gate location, and number of vents. An integrated methodology was proposed to investigate the effects of process prameters on maximum pressure and mold filling time and to find the optimum processing conditions. The method combines numerical simulation and design of experiments (DOE) approach and is applied to process design for a cylindrical composite part. Using RTM simulation, a series of numerical experiments were conducted to predict maximum pressure and mold filling time of the RTM process. A half‐fractional factorial design was conducted to identify the significant factors in the RTM process. Furthermore, the empirical models and sensitivity coefficients for maximum pressure and mold filling time were developed. Comparatively close agreements were found among the empirical approximations, numerical simulations, and actual experiments. These results were further utilized to find the optimal processing conditions for the example part.

A fast computational model to the simulation of non‐isothermal mold filling process in resin transfer molding

The numerical simulation of mass and heat transfer model for the curing stage of the resin transfer molding (RTM) process is known as a useful method to analyze the process before the mold is actually built. Despite the intense interest in the modeling and simulation of this process, the relevant work is currently limited to development of flow models during filling stage. Optimization of non‐isothermal mold filling simulation time without losing the efficiency remains an important challenge in RTM process. These were some reasons that motivate our work; namely the interested on the amelioration of the performance of RTM simulation code in term of execution time and memory space occupation. Our approach is accomplished in two steps; first by the modification of the control volume/ finite element method (CV/FEM) and second by the implementation in the modified code of an adapted conjugate gradient algorithm to the compressed sparse row storage scheme. The validity of our approach is evaluated with analytical results and excellent agreement was found. The results show that our optimization strategy leads to maximum reduction in time and space memory. This allows one to deal with problems with great and complex dimensions mostly encountered in RTM application field, without interesting in the constraint of space or time. POLYM.

Modeling and simulation approaches in the resin transfer molding process: A review

A review of current approaches in modeling and simulation of the resin transfer molding (RTM) process is presented. The processing technology of RTM is discussed and some available experimental techniques to monitor the process cycle are presented. A master model is proposed for the entire process cycle consisting of mold filling and curing stages. This master model contains the fundamental and constitutive sub‐models for both stages. The key elements of the master model discussed in this study are: flow, heat and mass balance equations for fundamental sub‐models, permeability, cure kinetics, resin viscosity and void formation for constitutive sub‐models. At the end, numerical methods widely used to simulate the filling process are presented and published simulation results of mold filling and process cycle are reviewed.

Sensitivity analysis on resin transfer molding processes with edge effect and curing reaction characteristics

The mold filling time and resin flow front shape are of fundamental importance during resin transfer molding (RTM) processes, because the former influences productivity and the latter affects composites quality. In this article, considering both edge effect and curing reaction characteristics of the resin flow process, the sensitivity analysis method is introduced to investigate the sensitive degree of mold filling time and resin flow front shape to the key material and processing parameters. The function employed to describe the resin flow front shape is defined, and the mathematical relationships of the key physical parameters, such as fluid pressure sensitivity, flow velocity sensitivity, mold filling time sensitivity, and resin flow front shape sensitivity, are established simultaneously. In addition, then the resin infiltration process is simulated by means of a semi‐implicit iterative calculation method and the finite volume method. The simulated results are in agreement with the analytical ones. The results show that under constant injection velocity conditions, both the change in the resin temperature and the alteration of the inlet velocity hardly affect the resin flow front shape, whereas the influence of edge permeability on the resin flow front shape is the greatest. This study is helpful for designing and optimizing RTM processes. POLYM. COMPOS., 36:2008–2016, 2015. © 2014 Society of Plastics Engineer
