Abstract

Glass molding is a mass fabrication method for precision glass lenses. Residual stresses induced during cooling process were inevitable reserved in molded glass lenses, and can cause the quality deterioration. Control of the cooling rate is one of the methods to keep residual stresses at a required level. In this research, glass molding of a blank glass cylinder and an aspherical glass lens were simulated by Finite Element Method. The residual stresses were simulated. Then the residual stresses under different cooling rates were also simulated to provide a proper cooling rate for glass molding.
