Abstract

A mathematical simulation of the blow‐molding cycle has been developed by combining general conservation principles along with appropriate constitutive relations for the material. A model of the parison formation stage has been devised by considering the competing effects due to swell and drawdown. A more rigorous numerical analysis of parison formation is also discussed. A theoretical treatment of parison inflation is described for both inelastic and viscoelastic materials by assuming uniform radial growth, Comparisons are made with experimental data for all phases of the molding cycle. The mathematical model is in reasonable quantitative agreement with experimental results and is capable of elucidating the influence of material properties and process conditions on the dynamics and performance of the blow‐molding process.

Simulations of various stretch blow and blow moldings of axisymmetric PET bottles has been carried out using ABAQUS. A creep constitutive model with material data developed for a thermoforming process was used in the finite element analysis. Simulations using shell and solid elements were compared w
