A numerical methodology to support the development of liquid adhesive spreading...
Bastos, Lourenço; Duarte, F. M.; Viana, J. C.; Silva, Filipe; Nogueira, Miguel; Carneiro, FilipaA numerical methodology was implemented to support the development of adhesive spreading patterns for the Optical Bonding (OB) material on display bonding process, in order to reduce the experimental trial and error effort, being this iterative process done mainly through numerical simulations. These simulations were performed using the commercial software Abaqus, more specifically the Abaqus/Explicit module, w...
Transmission laser welding of thermoplastics: influence of welding parameters a...
Bastos, Lourenço; Alves, Marco; Sousa, Bruno; Vilela, Andreia; Rietter, Luciano; Duarte, F. M.; Carneiro, Filipa; Żmijewska-Rocha, AgnieszkaLaser transmission welding of injection moulded thermoplastics is commonly used in industrial applications such as electronic packaging, textiles, biomedical devices, windows, signs, food and medical packaging, visual displays and automotive components due to very precise control of the process parameters, including the amount of energy delivered and its location, which results in high joint quality. In this ar...

Pascoal-Faria, Paula; Alves, Nuno; Kamma-Lorger, Christina S.; Marques, Rita; Gomes, Marta; Venkat, Anurag; Silva, Rui; Bastos, LourençoWater assisted injection moulding is a recent development in the manufacturing technology associated with injection moulding. Injection moulding involved the high pressure injection of molten plastic in to a preformed metal mould which defines the exterior of the shape of the object. Water assisted injection moulding is a variant with an addition step in which water is injected into the mould after its has been...
