3-Dimensional Modeling of Reaction Injection-Molding .2. Application
The objective of this research is to demonstrate the application of a general model of reaction injection molding (RIM) to a complex shaped mold part. Using the fundamental physical and chemical properties of the RIM system, prediction of RIM moldability can be made. The numerical techniques used in this research are presented in a previous paper (1). The rigorous modeling of the transport processes and the dynamics of the filling front for a particular application are described in this work.
