- Title
Real-Time Measurement of Flow Front Kinematics Using Quantitative Visualization in Injection Molding Process.
- Authors
Fathi, S.; Behravesh, A. H.
- Abstract
The article discusses the results of an experimental study to measure the kinematics of the melt flow front during the filling stage of the plastic injection molding process. According to the authors, the three main steps were visualization of the flow front advancement, image processing of the recorded results and calculation of the flow front kinematics. The orientation behavior of the advancing melt front was studied using a particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) method. The PTV method could easily extract the time history of the particle's velocity components at the flow front.
