Abstract
A previously presented model of thermally induced residual
stress in an injected moulded polymer part is presented. The
solution of this model requires a coupled analysis of the transient
thermal and elastic fields. The thermal problem, a phase
change problem, is solved with an explicit enthalpy method.
At each time step in this solution the predicted temperature
profile is used in a numerical integration step of the stress
equation. Results, the stress profile through the part thickness,
indicate a low dependence on the ratio of latent heat to
specific heat (L/Cp) and a high dependence on the Biot number.
Residual stress predictions are also in close agreement
with experimental measurements and predications from an
approximate model.
