Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of finite element simulation, in particular to a parameter optimization method for plastic physical properties by utilizing finite element simulation.
Background
Plastic articles are typically injection molded. The quality of injection molded products requires that the accuracy of appearance and size is emphasized, and the factors influencing the molding quality mainly include: materials, plastic part structures, mold structures and process parameters. Due to the high complexity of the injection molding process, the injection molding process is a nonlinear system, and besides the process parameters are adjusted on the production site to optimize the molding quality, the injection molding process generally relies on the finite element simulation before production to predict the molding quality. In the finite element simulation calculation, various mechanical, flow, heat and other physical properties used need to establish mathematical models which are different from materials; different materials need to be tested, specific parameters in a mathematical model of the materials are determined according to test results in a curve fitting mode, and each group of parameters corresponds to the property of a brand/model plastic. The user of the finite element simulation can select the correct material to perform the finite element simulation analysis according to the production requirement.
However, there are many types of plastics on the market, and the database built in the simulation software has the material parameters less than half of the maximum, and the new material comes out quickly, so that the user must spend a lot of money and time to measure the new material for use, but the data does not include the material parameters of the database included in the simulation software. Furthermore, some measurement items are limited by the mathematical model of materials not disclosed in the simulation software, so that the measurement can only be performed by the simulation software, which is relatively expensive, and the average waiting time is one month, which is not suitable for the development time of the current product, and lacks of security, so that the user is forced to abandon the use of the correct material parameters and only can search for the close alternative materials.
To address the dilemma of having no simulation software or having no appropriate parameters available, past attempts have included:
CN 103093062-parametric analysis method for influence of injection molding process on warping deformation of plastic parts, firstly, systematically using experimental design method, inputting different process conditions into finite element software to obtain a series of quality prediction results, then, using simple linear relationship to find out correlation between process conditions and corresponding quality, then, when the process conditions are to be known to the quality, only the linear relationship is needed to be solved, and without going through finite element analysis, the accuracy of the method depends on correctness of parameters of used materials, so that material measurement is still needed.
Literature "tan anping, lujing. unmodflow-based uncims material shrinkage optimization analysis. 10.19491/j.issn.1001-9278.2019.08.009 ", for material models not disclosed by the finite element software, it is impossible to perform a measurement fitting to find material parameters, and therefore there is no direct mass prediction-volume shrinkage comparison, and only the closest other mass results, such as product size change, can be found except for the mass result item. In addition, because the actual dimensional deformation of the product and the dimensional deformation predicted by the finite element cannot be ensured due to the lack of accurate parameters due to the incapability of measurement, the correlation between the actual dimensional deformation of the product and the dimensional deformation predicted by the finite element can be found by repeated experiments to prove that the properties of the used material can be used, but the first mold opening failure in the comparison process can only ensure the correctness of mold opening again, and the finite element prediction cannot play a role before production.
Int J Mater Form (2010) vol.3suppl 1: 37-40 Cellere discloses a quality result of a series of plastic part buckling deformation obtained by an experimental design method aiming at a residual stress modification material model and parameters thereof which are not disclosed by a finite element software, and by means of a neural network analysis method, the quality result of actual production quality is compared with a quality result predicted by finite element software using assumed material model parameters, and the residual stress modification material model parameters are reversely pushed.
In addition, the injection molding finite element simulation calculation technology was developed in the 1970 s, because of the limitation of the computer computing capability at the moment, the three-dimensional mold structure needs to be simplified into two-dimensional analysis, because many three-dimensional plastic physical characteristics and product quality cannot be analyzed and reproduced in two-dimensional simplification, a plurality of phenomenological descriptions which need to utilize actual mold testing are generated in complex behaviors in the mold cavity, and the phenomenological two-dimensional model parameters are insufficient in physical significance, the model is still undisclosed in software, the measurement method and parameter fitting are not completely disclosed, and finally, a user cannot obtain parameters by himself, measurement needs to be performed through a software supplier, and the software supplier obtains benefits in a business model accumulated in 40 years, but the software purchasing and the payment measurement are not equal.
Therefore, the present inventors have aimed to invent a method for optimizing the parameters of physical properties of plastics by finite element simulation, aiming at the above technical problems.

S3, for the material with known partial property measurement, according to the requirement of the required product quality result and the measured partial finite element related material physical property, through the relationship between the partial physical property and the finite element related material physical property, disclosing the database in the finite element software to find the proper plastic and obtaining the material physical property related to the finite element;
and S4, searching the model and the database thereof in the finite element software according to the physical properties of the material obtained by the two methods S2 or S3, and substituting the model and the database thereof into finite element analysis to obtain a product quality result if the model and the database are complete.
If the model and the database obtained in S4 are not complete, a correlation test between the physical properties of the material and the product quality results is performed, and the correlation test includes the following steps:
s41, producing sample strips by using the standard test mould, and measuring the real product quality result items;

The preferred embodiment of the method is applied by combining the method as follows:
the aim of this example was to find the Residual Stress modification (CRIMS) parameter for a polypropylene material without filler.
This is a list of properties of the examples.
(1) Because the purpose of finite element simulation is to predict the dimensional change of a product caused by shrinkage during forming, the residual stress correction model parameters related to the dimensional quality result item of the polypropylene material need to be obtained;
(2) the same material types are found in the finite element software database in sequence: and the density is similar to that of polypropylene: 0.92 plus or minus 0.02g/cc, the filler content is 0, and the melting index value is 12 plus or minus 6, which is used as the data base for the residual stress correction model parameters, 210 materials meeting the above conditions can be found in the finite element software database;
(3) the measured physical property of the finite element most relevant to the residual stress modification model is the shrinkage of the product in the mold, so the correlation test between the physical property of the material used in the present invention and the product quality result is required, i.e. the shrinkage of the product in the mold is tested under different process conditions, and the experimental conditions and results are shown in the following table.
(4) Analyzing the average value of the experimental results of the shrinkage of all the materials obtained in the step (2) in the die under different process conditions and the parameter relationship of the residual stress correction model of the materials. FIG. 2 is a graph illustrating the correlation between A6 in the residual stress correction model parameters and the shrinkage value in the vertical direction of the mold and the linear regression equation thereof.
(5) An optimal relation formula capable of describing six parameters in the residual stress correction model and shrinkage values (vertical and flowing) in two directions in the mold is obtained by using a mode of including a Convolutional Neural network (Convolutional Neural Networks) or a Multivariate Adaptive Regression (Multivariate Adaptive Regression) and the like.
(6) Estimating a set of initial parameters of the residual stress correction model according to the relation obtained in step (5) for the shrinkage of the unknown material in the mold in both vertical and flow directions.
(7) And (4) substituting the parameters obtained in the step (6) into finite element calculation to analyze the shrinkage of the product in the mold under different process conditions, so as to obtain quality result prediction of the shrinkage in the mold under different process conditions.
(8) Comparing the prediction result of the step (7) with the real experiment result of the step (3), if the error is in an acceptable range, finishing the parameter optimization process of the residual stress correction model, if the error is not in the acceptable range, slightly adjusting the parameters, and then carrying out finite element analysis and comparison.
The advantages of the above-described method are,
1. applying to the history database: the prior art does not analyze historical databases.
2. Even if the model parameters are not disclosed, the initial value of the iterative process can be obtained: the prior art does not use the historical database induction results as the starting value for the iterative analysis.
3. The physical properties are given weights according to a relationship with the quality result for use in the iterative process: the prior art does not refer to a relationship with product quality results and therefore gives weights.
The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical concept and features of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto, and any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the present invention should be included in the scope of the present invention.
