Abstract: A mold, a method for producing a plate-shaped molded article, and a method for producing a test piece capable of easily producing a test piece in which an orientation direction of a filler is highly aligned are provided. A method for predicting a characteristic of a resin composition molded article is also provided, the method being able to measure an anisotropy characteristic value of a resin composition by using the test piece and to improve prediction accuracy by using the characteristic value in a computer analysis. Further in detail, a mold for injection molding the plate-shaped molded article by using a molten material of a thermoplastic resin includes a runner section that has a slit gate section provided along a width direction of the plate-shaped molded article and is configured to fill a cavity with the molten material, which is injected via a sprue section, via the slit gate section.

Abstract: A forced extraction molded article that can prevent damage during forced extraction is provided. The force extraction molded article (1) is formed of a polyarylene sulfide resin composition so as to include a cylindrical portion, wherein the cylindrical portion (10) has at a forward end portion a bulge (11), and an inner surface including a step in the outer diameter direction at the forward end portion, a portion excluding the step has a gradient such that the inner diameter of the cylindrical portion increases toward the forward end portion, and equation (a) below using a thickness D2 between a connection portion at the step on the inner surface of the cylindrical portion and the outer surface excluding the bulge, a height D4 of the step, and a height Dt of the gradient excluding the step on the inner surface of the cylindrical portion is satisfied.
