塑料制品注塑成形收缩特性的实验研究

设计制作了一套一模四腔的模具(包括正方形、凸形、凹形和扇形等4种形状制品的型腔),通过注塑成形实验,来确定这几种特殊结构制品的收缩特性。实验材料选用收缩率比较大的PP,利用三坐标测量机测量实验样品。结果表明,凸形、凹形制品具有向心收缩的趋势,而扇形制品内径收缩率大于扇形制品外径收缩率,扇形制品收缩后扇面角度具有变大的趋势。因此,在精密成形中,必须考虑扇形制品扇面角度的收缩对制品尺寸精度的影响。

Experimental Study of Shrinkage Displacements of Points on Injection Molded Parts

The existing research on shrinkage of the injection molded plastic part mainly focuses on various shrinkage ratios of the part dimensions,and the relevant experimental studies belong to mere dimension measurement after demoulding.Obviously,measuring after the plastic part is demoulded from the cavity can not offer shrinkage displacements of points on the plastic part.However,shrinkage displacements of points on an injection molded plastic part are essential for exposing the inner relation among shrinkage ratios of various dimensions of the part.So visualization of the in-mold plastic part which can indicate the location relationship between the part and the cavity is needed.In this paper,a visual injection mold was fabricated by adopting the half mold structure and light transmission manner.With the visual mold,in-mold shrinkage images of injection molded plastic parts were photographed after the plastic part stayed in the injection mold for 24 h.By means of digital image processing of the in-mold shrinkage images,the experimental data of shrinkage displacements of points on injection molded parts were researched.From the experimental data,it is found that shrinkage directions of points on an injection molded part are related with both positions of the gate and of the part centroid,and either the gate or the centroid will exert more influence on the shrinkage direction of some point which is closer.Furthermore,some point at the later filled area has more shrinkage distance than the point at the earlier filled area.Combination of shrinkage directions and shrinkage distances of points on an injection molded part determine shrinkage ratios for various dimensions of the part,and shrinkage directions are more influential to shrinkage ratios of dimensions.This experimental research of shrinkage displacements offers a unique approach to understand the shrinkage principles of injection molded parts.

An elastic–plastic contact model of ellipsoid bodies

A theoretical model for the elastic–plastic contact of ellipsoid bodies is presented in this paper. Relation of the contact parameters, such as the mean contact pressure, the contact area and the contact load as a function of the contact interference are modeled in the three different contact regimes: elastic, elastic–plastic and fully plastic. The model is verified by experimental results and is compared with published theoretical models. Very good agreement between the present model and the experimental results are found compared to the prediction of the other contact models.

3D additive manufacture of oral and maxillofacial surgical models for preoperative planning

This paper investigates the errors generated during the fabrication stage for producing complex anatomical replicas derived from computed tomography coupled with the 3D additive manufacturing methods. Based on this research work, it is shown that patient-specific model based on computed tomography data can be converted into computer numerically controlled G-code. It is shown that 3D extrusion-based additive manufacturing technology is accurate to ±3 % equating to ±200 μm surface deviations due to plastic shrinkage and distortion formed during the process. Polylactic acid plastic extrusion through a 200-μm bore nozzle has resulted in a model being produced with an R_a roughness of 35.5 μm. An evaluation on the errors generated during the fabrication process has been used to accurately produce an adult female mandible. Internal nerve channels and complex external bone geometry has been produced within the model. It is shown that using this process results in bone complexity and accuracy required for producing low-cost surgical grades models which is in comparison with traditional selective laser sintering manufacturing techniques. The surface accuracies suggest that the reproduction of anatomically complex representative structures by 3D plastic extrusion additive manufacturing which can be used for pre-surgical planning.     

A quantitative study of the preparation of rabbit aortic endothelial cells for scanning electron microscopy

Quantitative studies were done with the scanning electron microscope (SEM) on aortic endothelial cells from ten rabbits. Of these, five were plastic casts and five were dehydrated with three different, but standard, techniques. The results indicated that all forms of dehydration caused significant shrinkage artefacts and that these were different in different directions in both the thoracic and abdominal aorta. The greatest shrinkage was found with the critical point drying technique, 45% in the abdominal aorta and 31% in the thoracic aorta. In the abdominal aorta this shrinkage was mainly due to a shrinkage in length (36%) rather than a shrinkage in width (15%). In comparison, in the thoracic aorta critical point drying resulted in a 15% shrinkage in length and a 19% shrinkage in width. Air drying and alcohol dehydration caused considerable shrinkage (29% and 18% respectively in the thoracic aorta, 29% and 36% respectively in the abdominal aorta). Directional differences were also found with these techniques, for instance alcohol dehydration in the thoracic aorta resulted in 0% shrinkage in length and 18% shrinkage in width.     

Influence of molding conditions on the shrinkage and roundness of injection molded parts

During the plastic injection molding process, one of the biggest challenges is shrinkage which deteriorates the quality of produced parts. To control and reduce this defect, the essential way is to perfectly determine the variables like molding parameters. In this study, the effects of molding parameters including packing pressure, melt temperature, and cooling time on shrinkage and roundness have been investigated experimentally. Also, the relationship among initial molding parameters, the cavity pressure, and mold temperature was investigated. The results of this experimental study and analysis fulfill various requirements of plastic injection molding and clarify the relationship between molding conditions and the overall quality of produced parts. This study illustrated that packing pressure and melt temperature are dominant factors which determine the quality of parts.
