| Popis: | Precision glass molding (PGM) technology has recently emerged as a promising fabrication method for mass-fabricating optical glass lenses with complex surfaces. However, lens fracture as a common problem has not been analyzed in detail. In this paper, the divergent cone cracks in the molded lens were analyzed using the finite element method, because crack propagation cannot be seen in the molding process. A three-dimensional model was established in MSC Marc software for analyzing the temperature, stress components, and principal stress of the glass in different molding stages. The crack paths were analyzed using the simulation results and the fracture basis. Based on the analysis, PGM experiments with different processing parameters were carried out. The appearance of the molded lenses demonstrated the rationality and correctness of the analysis. Thus, analyses of other types of lens fractures can use the analysis method proposed in this paper rather than relying on trial and error. |
