stress-strain curve
Manufacturing; Plastic injection molding
The curve plotting the applied stress on a test specimen versus the corresponding strain. Stress can be applied through shear, compression, flexure, or tension.
stress relaxation
Manufacturing; Plastic injection molding
The decay of stress at a constant strain.
linear mold shrinkage
Manufacturing; Plastic injection molding
The difference between the size of the part and the size of the mold cavity. Values given are often the average of a range.
shrinkage allowance
Manufacturing; Plastic injection molding
The dimensional allowance which must be made in molds to compensate for shrinkage of the plastic compound on cooling.
screw travel
Manufacturing; Plastic injection molding
The distance the screw travels forward when filling the mold cavity.
underflow
Manufacturing; Plastic injection molding
The dominant flow of two confronting flows, over the other. The lesser flow reverses direction giving poor surface appearance and structural strength. Underflow should be avoided ...
damping
Manufacturing; Plastic injection molding
The effect on a mass that causes decreasing amplitude.
