Abstract:A nonlinear transient heat transfer finite element model based on commercial finite element software, ABAQUS, is developed to simulate the curing process of silicone adhesive. The curing reaction process and specific heat of the silicone adhesive were investigated using a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to obtain material parameters for numerical simulations. Curing reaction kinetics was derived. Using the user subroutine HETVAL of ABAQUS, temperature distributions inside silicone can be evaluated by s… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
