Finite Element Analysis of Glass Lens Molding Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

Glass lens molding process is a high-volume fabrication method for producing optical components. In this paper, combined with thermal-mechanical coupled analysis and finite element method (FEM) simulation, An axisymmetric model of the GMP is built. Based on this model, FEM on the basis of the commercial FEM software MSC.Marc is conducted to study the pressing process in glass molding. The effects of molding temperature, pressing velocity, and friction on maximum residual stress are calculated. The result shows that the stress decreases at the higher molding temperature, lower pressing velocity and friction.
