An Experimental Study on Wall Thickness Distribution in Thermoforming

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: In this work, Polystyrene (PS) sheets were thermoformed in predetermined conditions.Wall thickness distributions obtained by experimental method in PS thermoformed products.Then the same thickness distributions were predicted by using Geometric Element Analysis (GEA).The thickness results were obtained experimentally, compared to thickness distributions which were predicted by GEA.It has been found that GEA does not precisely reveal thickness distributions.
