Comparative Analysis of Different Methods in Residual Stress Measurement for Polymeric Parts

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents the measurements of the residual stresses for polymeric parts using different methods. The residual stresses are usually introduced during manufacturing and are caused by processes such as molding. In order to optimize injection molding process with polymeric material, it is important to predict the internal stress development during molding. The residual stresses are caused mainly by non-uniform temperature profile in the cavity during filling, packing and cooling stages. This research offers information and a methodology which may be applied in practical conditions for a large number of parts manufactured from the different polymeric materials and for several technological constraints. The author confirmed that all this methods which measure the residual stresses can be applied to injection molded parts.
