The growing popularity of SMC compression moulding in the automotive industry has led to great interests process simulation model development. Existing models are commonly adapted from originally developed for short fibre composites and lacking experimental validation data. A novel material specifically flow is proposed this paper, where characterisation performed using squeeze testing method. ...

Sheet metal extrusion is a metal forming process in which the movement of a punch penetrates a sheet metal surface and it flows through a die orifice; the extruded parts can be deflected to have an extrusion cavity and protrusion on the opposite side. Therefore, this process results in a narrow region of highly localized plastic deformation due to the formation and microstructure effect on the ...

In its classical form particle image velocimetry (PIV) extracts two components of the flow velocity vector by measuring the displacement of tracer particles within a double-pulsed laser light she...
