Free membership registrationWhen mochi is grilled, it expands. This is because the moisture inside turns into steam, increasing the internal volume and causing the mochi to puff up like a balloon. Due to the expansion of the internal steam, the distance between points A and B on the surface of the sphere widens, and the thickness becomes thinner. When it reaches a thinness that cannot withstand the internal pressure, it bursts. The deformation mode that stretches in one direction and contracts in a direction perpendicular to it is called extensional flow. In this column, we will explain "Extensional Flow."

Free membership registrationIn practice, it is common for a wide variety of materials to be blended into thermosetting resins according to their applications, and many materials with different reaction forms exist. Therefore, there are materials with the characteristic that the reaction rate does not reach its maximum initially under isothermal conditions, and a reaction rate equation that effectively represents this is desired. One of the models that fits this is the Kamal reaction rate equation, which is now frequently used in the world of CAE.

Free membership registrationIn this column, we will introduce the decay reaction rate equation commonly used in the field of chemistry. Even with the same material, reactions become more active at higher temperatures and proceed more slowly at lower temperatures. A common method to express the temperature dependence of reaction rates is to use the Arrhenius model. The Arrhenius model was proposed by a Swedish chemist as a formula to predict chemical reactions at a certain temperature, and it is now widely used as a standard method to represent the temperature dependence of reactions.

Free membership registrationThermosetting resins are composite materials made up of a main agent, a curing agent, and various additives. From the moment these components are mixed, a chemical reaction occurs that changes the molecular structure from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, advancing polymerization and ultimately resulting in an insoluble product. Changes in physical properties such as viscosity, elastic modulus, and specific volume are closely related to the progress of the reaction. In this column, we will introduce how to investigate and define the reaction state.

Free membership registrationPlastics have the characteristics of being lightweight and easy to process, but often struggle to meet the demands of the industrial sector when used alone. Therefore, efforts are made to enhance their performance by mixing in specific materials. The purposes of incorporating specific materials into plastics include improving strength, heat dissipation, sound insulation, and sliding properties, as well as imparting conductivity and magnetism. Inorganic materials such as glass and carbon are mainly used for this purpose and are referred to as fillers. In this column, we will explain the basics of the relationship between the amount of filler and viscosity.

Free membership registrationWhen a liquid tries to change shape, resistance due to intermolecular forces arises, and this magnitude becomes viscosity. As the temperature rises, the molecular motion of the liquid becomes more active, and since the molecules want to move freely, viscosity decreases. In the plastic molding process, the temperature of the resin changes significantly, so viscosity is greatly affected by this. Therefore, it has become common to incorporate the temperature dependence of viscosity into the viscosity equations used in CAE. In this column, we will introduce representative model equations.

Free membership registrationIn the case of pure viscous fluids, the equation that represents the quantitative relationship between stress and strain rate is called the constitutive equation or rheological equation. For Newtonian fluids, if temperature and pressure are constant, η becomes a constant. Therefore, the relationship between shear rate and shear stress is linear. On the other hand, for materials like plastics that are in a molten state, the relationship becomes nonlinear, and substances with this characteristic are collectively referred to as non-Newtonian fluids.

Free membership registrationResin materials are viscoelastic bodies, and it is ideal to analyze them using models as described so far. When limited to a solidified state, the difficulties of numerical analysis are somewhat improved, and practical calculations are being conducted. On the other hand, regarding phenomena that involve high-speed flows, such as injection molding, considering viscoelasticity leads to enormous computation times and instability in numerical solutions, making it rarely used in practice. In this column, we will focus on resin flow and explain the handling methods as a viscous body.

Free membership registrationThis column explains the 6th installment of resin molding and rheology, titled "Representation of Relaxation Modulus and Time-Temperature Superposition Principle." Plastic materials exhibit the characteristics of relaxation modulus, but the two-element Maxwell model, which uses only a set of springs and a dashpot, has only two fitting coefficients, G and λ, making it difficult to accurately represent the properties of real materials. By effectively combining the coefficients of each element, it is possible to create the desired relaxation modulus curve, thereby expressing properties that are closer to those of actual materials.

Free membership registrationPolymeric materials such as plastics exhibit phenomena known as stress relaxation, where the stress decreases over time when a certain strain is applied, and creep, where the strain increases over time towards a certain value when a constant stress is applied. These occur because the materials possess both elastic and viscous characteristics. By effectively combining elements that have each of these individual characteristics, it seems possible to represent stress relaxation and creep phenomena.

In this column, we will discuss the "strain" that occurs in objects, along with its relationship to "stress." The relationship between load and deformation varies depending on the dimensions of the member, but the relationship between stress and strain remains the same regardless of the dimensions, as long as the material is the same. Thus, the relationship between stress and strain is an important factor that determines the mechanical properties of materials.

In the second installment, we will clarify the concept of stress. Stress is defined as the force per unit area that arises within an object when it is subjected to external forces. Stress can be broadly divided into two types: normal stress, which acts perpendicular to a surface, such as tension and compression, and shear stress, which acts parallel to a surface. These are important design elements when designing structures.

As a result, compared to the shape before optimization, the mass has decreased from 349.3 [g] to 340.6 [g], and the displacement has also reduced from 8.3 [mm] to 5.7 [mm], indicating a shape that is both lighter and more rigid.

Free membership registrationStanding on one leg is a posture where one foot is lifted off the ground, causing an unstable balance, which activates the muscles to maintain stability. AnyBody incorporates a mannequin that models the musculoskeletal system, allowing the simulation of human movements to analyze the loads on the human body. This article compares the analysis results of a model created solely by a driver without using motion capture to those based on motion capture, and presents a case where the model created by the driver was linked to a parameter study. [Contents] ■ Model Creation ■ Comparison of Results ■ Parameter Study ■ Summary *For detailed information about the case, please refer to the related links.

Free membership registrationIn this article, we introduce a case study analyzing the burdens on both the person lifting and the person being lifted when lifting two or more models. In this example, we compare the burdens in two cases: lifting at a constant speed and lifting with acceleration. It is possible to analyze both the lifter and the person being lifted simultaneously. As a result, the muscle activity of the lifter was significant, while the person being lifted exhibited only a small amount of muscle activity to maintain posture. The burden on both increased when lifting with acceleration compared to lifting at a constant speed.

Free membership registrationThis article presents a case study aimed at analyzing complex high-speed movements, such as "running," using the AnyBody Modeling System without measuring ground reaction forces. Additionally, it analyzes the movements of subjects with varying running experience to see how differences in muscle usage and metabolic energy manifest in the results. As a result, it was confirmed that the AnyBody Modeling System can visualize and quantify muscle usage and activity levels in running without measuring ground reaction forces.
