Optimizing the thermal gradient and the pulling speed in a thermoplastic pultrusion process of PET/E glass fibers using finite element method

Optimizing the thermal gradient and the pulling speed in a thermoplastic pultrusion process of PET/E glass fibers using finite element method

A thermoplastic pultrusion process was examined using commercial fiber roving of PET/E glass, to determine the optimum pulling speed and optimal zonal temperatures. Finite element analysis predicted heat transfer through the commingled fibers and air in the pultrusion die. The cross-section of obtai...
