Abstract:

This study focuses on enhancing the quality and success rate of biaxial stretching for aviation glass to meet the stringent requirements of military fighter applications. Based on the thermal mechanical coupling theory of viscoelastic materials, the viscoelastic properties of plexiglass are simulated in the form of Prony series by using the principle of WLF time temperature equivalence. The finite element model of biaxial stretching is established, and the temperature field of heating and cooling process in biaxial stretching of plexiglass is analyzed. The calculated temperature field results are introduced into the biaxial stretch dynamic analysis. The displacement and stretch force curves are obtained for 9 fixtures, and the displacement stretch force relationship expression is fitted. The cooling shaping simulation of the stretched plexiglass is carried out. The force generated by the cooling of aviation glass is about twice the stretch force. The retraction of the pull rod is adopted to reduce the shrinkage force of 10000N to prevent glass breakage or equipment damage. The biaxial stretch test results of 35mm thick aviation glass are consistent with the simulation results. The stretch process is optimized according to the simulation results, and the tensile quality and success rate are improved.
