Mold compliance

A common hypothesis in injection molding simulation is to assume an infinitely rigid mold. However, in reality, the high cavity pressure can lead to mold deflection due to mold compliance. Experimental investigations (Leo and CuveUiez 1996 Delaunay et al. 2000b) have shown that the mold elastic deformation can play a significant role in the pressure-time history. 

In the case of mold deformation, the cavity thickness his a function of the local pressure. Baaijens (1991) simply chose dh/dP = 0.4 pm/MPa and showed that a small amount of mold compliance can have a significant influence on the cavity pressure history, and neglect of the mold elasticity will lead to under-prediction of the cavity pressure. Pantani et al. (2001) assume the following relationship ...

P.R.277 is FDA compliant under 21 CFR Part 176.170C(c) at 2% by weight of the polymer subject to the provisions and definitions described in Title 21 CFR Part 178.3297. By virtue of this compliance, P.R.277 finds its way into many foodpackaging applications. In molding, P.R.277 has desirable low-warpage characteristics. 

Coolant systems are an integral part of container formation and serve to cool the molds and, if applicable, the parison clamp assembly. Coolant, although not in direct contact with product pathways, is in close proximity to the containers, and maintenance should be carried out to prevent leakage. Coolant systems are prone to microbiological contamination and should be routinely treated to keep the bioburden imder eontrol. They should be regularly sampled and tested for bioburden to ensure continuous compliance to a predefined specification.

This system measures dimensional changes as a function of temperature. The dimensional behavior of a material can be determined precisely and rapidly with small samples in any form—powder, pellet, film, fiber, or molded part. The parameters measured by thermomechanicai analysis are the coefficient of linear thermal expansion, the glass-transition temperature (Fig. 10-17), softening characteristics, and the degree of cure. Other applications of TMA include the taking of compliance and modulus measurements and the determination of deflection temperature under load. 

In basic mechanical testing, the mechanical characteristics that can be tested include expansion, penetration, extension, flexure, and compressive compliance. Photoelastic-stress analysis allows the stress distribution to be visually displayed, and strain gauging allows the stress distribution to be approximated. Residual stress, also known as molded-in stress, can be measured by a variety of techniques (1).
