Abstract:
A finite element software has been used to determine the temperature history in forming a TV glass panel during hot pressing in a metal mold and the controlled cooling cycle. The temperature history is then used to calculate the stress and strain history in the glass panel. The goal of the simulation model is to predict the resulting stresses and strains due to forming and cooling that takes place during the manufacturing of the TV panel. DEFORM 3D software has been used to carry out the numeric simulation.
