Predicting shrinkage in semi-crystalline injection mouldings : the influence of pressure

In this study, the as-moulded shrinkage and pressure data are obtained experimentally and compared with numerical simulations. The mouldings were produced in polypropylene (PP). The effect of pressure on viscosity in the predicted pressure evolution was analyzed and also its influence on the shrinka...
