Numerical Modelling of Injection Moulding for Viscoplastic Fluids

该项目旨在修改和扩展由世界知名的墨尔本Moldflow Pty Ltd开发的数值软件，用于模拟塑料行业的注塑成型。该项目的意义在于应用了一种相对较新的数学工具，称为变分不等方法，用于解决塑料熔体在模具中的凝固问题。预期的结果在于开发用于塑料行业的新软件，这将改善世界各地纤维增强热塑性塑料的生产。

The project aims to modify and extend the numerical software developed by the world renowned Moldflow Pty Ltd, Melbourne, for the simulation of injection moulding in the plastics industry. The significance of the project lies in the application of the relatively new mathematical tool, called the variational inequality approach, to the problem of solidification of the molten plastic in a mould. The expected outcomes lie in the development of new software for use in the plastics industry, which will improve the production of fibre reinforced thermoplastics throughout the world.
