摘要
Considers the filling stage of an injection moulding process for polymer melts through a transient finite element method. Presents results for a thin-walled cup-shaped mould problem. Adopts a generalized Newtonian formulation for inelastic non-isothermal incompressible flow under cooling conditions. Gives some attention to the transient aspects of the problem, including the motion of the melt front and the numerical deformation patterns that develop. Advocates a localized remeshing technique that tracks the moving front effectively.
