Experimental investigation and process simulation of the compression molding process of Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) with local reinforcements

Download or read book Experimental investigation and process simulation of the compression molding process of Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) with local reinforcements written by Hohberg, Martin and published by KIT Scientific Publishing. This book was released on 2022-04-05 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, a new three-dimensional approach for the process simulation of SMC is developed. This approach takes into account both, the core layer that is dominated by the extensional viscosity and the thin lubrication layer. In order to transfer the information from the process to the structure simulation, a CAE chain is further developed. In addition, a new rheological tool is developed to analyze flow behavior experimentally and to provide the required material parameters.
