  • ICROS - the selective approach to high-tech polymer product design- modelling and experimental verification
    Dolšak, Bojan
    In the product development process a major aim is to abridge the time for developing a new product. The conventional method in product design is to create a new structure, build a prototype and test ... its performance. In most of the development processes there are various evolution steps and lots of prototypes necessary until all requirements are fulfilled. In fact, with the help of computer-aided engineering (CAE) and simulation tools, the development time decreases significantly and the number of prototypes and tests can be reduced. The use of FE techniques is state of the art and well known as part of the analysis phase of the design process. But the main problems today are the multitude of programs and utilities to work with and the right application chronology ofthe programmes. Especially in polymer engineering, the question is: "How good is the performance of the chosen tooland what has to be done next in the design process?". Many different polymer simulation programs exist but they are complex in use because of the need for special nonlinear or anisotropic material subroutines to reproduce the polymeric material behaviour. In this paper, a procedure is described to reduce the evolution cycle time by integrating the use of commercial computer-aided engineering (CAE) eoftware packages with injection moulding simulation software and commercial finite element software. With the intelligent combination of different software tools, the processing of polymer design could be simplified [Dolsak, Rieg, Novak, Hackenechmidt 2004]. This process is named ICROS from engineering by intelligent cross-linked simulation. It is specially focussed on the optimized we of multiple simulation tools in industrial application. In the following chapters, an overview of polymer product design is given. The finite element methodology and performance evaluation for polymeric materials are discussed. A case study involving a flexible elastomer polymer coupling is presented. The given example was engineered with the help of ICROS and the results were additionally verified with scores of lifecycle tests. The durability performance of the finished part was checked in plentiful trials.
