Virutal Modeling Of Dynamic Loading Of Glass Mould

In the contribution problem of dynamic loading of glass mould is analysed. Possibilities of FEM for evaluation of tensile states initiated with temperature variations are shown on a particular case. Critical areas where cracks nucleation as a result of thermal fatigue can be expected are evaluated. Results are used for relative comparison of service life of mould with classical design and mould with optimised design (with control cooling).
