Rubber Compression Moulding

Pablo Ulloa

Hi Guys,

I need to make a finite element analysis for a rubber compression mold through Abaqus -I was trying but failed-,I dont really understand, how could I do it, let give you a little summary, of it.

Process A pre-weighed, generally preformed piece of material / compound is placed in the mould : the mould is closed, with the sample under pressure as it vulcanizes Cavity pressure is maintained by slightly over filling the mould & holding it closed in a hydraulic press. Constant heat is provided by electric heatess, thermic fluid or steam

Best Regards.
