Photoelasticity and boiling water tests were implemented as well.
The development and characterization of polymer microinjection molded ... by Angelov, A.K.; Coulter, J.P. / Polymer Engineering and Science
The module considers polymer fluid flow, heat transfer, viscoelasticity, photoelasticity, and a stress-optical law to investigate birefringence in optical parts molded of materials such as acrylic, PC, and COC (cyclic olefin copolymer).
Molding simulation: new frontiers in process prediction by Knights, Mikell / Plastics Technology
The most elaborate physical modeling of entire injection molding stages in the literature has included nonlinear viscoelasticity and photoelasticity for the liquid state and linear viscoelasticity, photoviscoelasticity and free volume theory for the solid state along with a Tait's state equation, and could successfully predict birefringence and residual stress profile especially when a pressure dependent lateral motion model (PLMM) was adopted (10-13).
Numerical and experimental investigation of shrinkage behavior of ... by Yang, Sang Sik; Kwon, Tai Hun / Polymer Engineering and Science
