Abstract: A numerical simulation system was developed to predict local part-mold forces and local and total ejection forces in injection molding. Local reaction forces between the part and mold surfaces ...

Abstract: A review of research results demonstrating that magnetic fields applied to machining processes and mechanically manufactured parts can have beneficial effects is presented, an explanatory mechanistic ...

Abstract: Previously it was shown that including smaller inset regions of less stiff material in the larger O-ring section at locations of high stress results in lower strain energy density in the ...

Abstract: The performance of elastomeric seals degrades over time in use due to the development of permanent material deformation. The existence of localized high stress regions below seal-housing contact ...
