用数值模型研究树脂传递成型工艺中的树脂流动和温度变化

用控制体／有限元方法建立了树脂传递成型工艺过程中树脂流动和温度变化的数学模型。考虑到热传导效应和树脂放热反应对温度变化的影响，对树脂传递成型工艺过程中树脂流动、温度变化的数值求解方法及相应的精度和收敛性进行了分析，最后对两种不同树脂传递成型工艺过程中的温度变化进行了计算，并与相应实验结果作了对比。结果表明，本建立的数学模型能有效地确定树脂传递成型工艺过程中树脂流动和温度变化，且与试验结果吻合的较好。

STUDY OF FLOW AND TEMPERATURE IN RESIN TRANSFER MOLDING PROCESS BY NUMERICAL MODEL

A mathematical model of resin flow and temperature variation in the filling stage of the resin transfer molding (RTM) is developed based on the control volume/finite element method (CV/FEM). The effects of the heat transfer and chemical reaction of the resin on the flow and temperature are considered. The numerical algorithm of the resin flow and temperature variation in the process of RTM are studied. Its accuracy and convergence are analyzed. The comparison of temperature variations between experimental results and model predictions is carried out for two RTM cases. Result shows that the model is efficient for evaluating the flow and temperature variation in the filling stage of RTM and there is a good coincidence between theory and experiment.
