The problem of optimizing the design of vertical column press traverse according to the metal consumption criterion is taken into consideration. As a limitation, the maximum value of equivalent stresses in the volume of the traverse was used. It is shown that the methods of parametric and topological optimization are ineffective for solving the optimization problem. A mathematical model of the stress-strain state of the traverse is proposed, which allows carrying out simulation independently from other elements of the press. The finite element analysis of the existing structure of the traverse revealed the redundancy of the loaded elements amplification, as well as the low manufacturability of the structure. The method of expert analysis was used to find the optimal design. The effect of the thickness of the base of the traverse on the resulting equivalent stresses was studied. A new design of the traverse was proposed on the base of the study results. That design is characterized by low metal capacity and high manufacturability. It is found that the maximum stresses occur in the areas of rapid changes in shape, as well as in the areas of loads.

Numerical simulation of metal flow behaviour was studied using DeformTM3D software. The simulation process was done on X20 steel taken from the software database at 1073-1273K temperature, 10mm/s die speed, and 67% height reduction. From the simulation results, forging load, damage, and stress/strain distributions were obtained. The results show that the forging load increased with a decrease in temperature or decreased with an increase in temperature. The maximum damage values increased as the temperature increased. The obtained maximum damage values were 0.42 (1073K), 0.43 (1173K), and 0.45 (1273K). The damage distribution was inhomogeneous in the deformed cylinder. The stress/strain distributions were inhomogeneous in the deformed cylinder. The location of the maximum strain was at the centre of the deformed cylinder while the maximum stress occurred at the die-cylinder contact surfaces. The study showed that flow stress behaviour can be predicted using finite element method. This shows the feasibility of applying the finite element analysis to analyse the forging process.

With the ongoing development of product process, there is a growing demand on micro products. Though the macro-drawing process has been well-developed, the design concepts may not be directly applicable to the micro-drawing due to the size effect occurred in the micro-forming processes. In the present study, experiments were conducted first to establish the stress-strain curves, r-values and work hardening exponents of 304 stainless steel sheets with different grain sizes. The experiment results reveal that the stress-strain and r-value become smaller and the work hardening exponent increases for larger grain sizes. The difference between stress-strain curves in various directions of 0°, 45° and 90°, respectively, is significant when the grain size increases. The stamping of a vibration motor shell of cell phone, which bears a circular cylindrical shape, was also examined in the present study. The finite element simulations were performed to evaluate the formability of the multi-stage drawing process with initial die design. The forming characteristics were identified and an optimum die design was then developed with the use of the finite element analysis. The stamping process with multi-stage tooling design based on the finite element analysis was implemented and the actual stamping experiments were conducted to verify finite element analysis. The experimental results confirm the validity of the modified tooling design and the efficiency of the finite element analysis.

In the article the stress-strain state of the main cylinder of the hydraulic press for the manufacturing of large-sized plastic products has been investigated using software of finite-element analysis. It is established that the stress-strain state is characterized by a general and local uneven distribution of stresses and displacements. The nature of the distribution of stresses, deformations, displacements, safety factors along the length of the cylinder allowed conditionally divide the cylinder into three characteristic zones: flange zone, Lame zone, bottom zone. In each of the zones we found the areas in which the maximum stresses and strains are observed. It was found that the maximum equivalent stresses calculated according to the Huber-Mises energy theory of strength are observed on the inner surface of the cylinder, and in their fillets in the zones of the bottom and flange. A comparative analysis of the stresses and displacements determined by the Lame formulas and the finite element method showed that in the Lame zone their values do not change significantly. Studies on the influence of the radius, which varied over a wide range, and the fillet angle, made it possible to establish the region of maximum principal and equivalent stresses and reduce their magnitude. The calculations revealed the fillet region in which the axial tensile stresses act and determine the fillet angle at which the axial stresses are equal in magnitude and sign The study allowed to change the geometry of the cylinder, reduce the stress in the cylinder fillet and its weight. The results of the study can be applied to improve the existing and design of new hydraulic presses of the chemical industry, as well as the basis for further research.

This document mainly studies the cross-section shape of the box-type telescopic boom. First, the basic structure of the telescopic boom was analyzed, and then, the finite element analysis of the quadrilateral and hexagonal telescopic booms were conducted based on ABAQUS with the same section height, width, thickness, as well as the same constraints and loads condition. The stress-strain diagram was obtained. Comparing to the quadrilateral boom, the hexagonal telescopic boom loads higher, weights lighter, and performs better.

This paper deals with the design of an upright using a topological optimization. This type of optimization is a relatively young and rapidly evolving area of computational mechanics that seeks to make multiple material savings that cannot be achieved by conventional methods. The optimized upright was utilized in a fully functional prototype of the student formula within the Formula Student competition. The main objective of the optimization was to meet the requirements of the physical properties, weight, stiffness, and strength of the upright. The initial model of the upright was iteratively optimized using topological optimization and a finite element static analysis to obtain the final model. Using the finite element analysis, its behavior in operation within individual load cases was predicted. Symmetry was used to mirror the finished model to obtain the opposite upright of the other side of the car. Finally, the topologically optimized upright was compared with an upright made by conventional methods.

Finite element analysis has been done to analyze pump bearing assembly in interference assembly condition by ANSYS software. The press-in assembly environment has been simulated, and the maximum stress and maximum deformation of inner race have been analyzed. Studies show that with the increase of bearing size, the change law of maximum stress and maximum deformation does not single unidirectionally increase or decrease simply. At the same time, the interference value also influences the change law. So, in the bearing assembly tolerance selection the influence of the interference must be considered fully. The finite element analysis can guide the selection of fit tolerance.

The process of precision forging has been developed recently because of its advantages of giving high production rates and improved strength. For complete filling up, predicting the power requirement and final shape are important features of the forging process. A finite element method is used to investigate the forging force, the final shape and the stress distribution of the parking sensor shell forging. The stress-strain curve of AL-6082 is obtained by the computerized screw universal testing machine. The friction factor between AL-6082 alloy and die material (SKD11) are determined by using ring compression test. Stress-strain curve and fiction factor are then applied to the finite element analysis of the parking sensor shell forging. Maximum forging load, effective stress distribution and shape dimensions are determined of the parking sensor shell forging, using the finite element analysis. Then the parking sensor shells are formed by the forging machine. Finally, the experimental data are compared with the results of the current simulation for the forging force and shape dimensions of the parking sensor shell.

Reducing exploitation energy consumption for any technical system is an effective way, which is in complete accordance with the concept of sustainable development [1]. The presses, particularly the mechanical ones, are machine tools with a long-term exploitation [2]. At these ones, the operating energy consumption, significant in value, decreases only if the rigidity of the structure of resistance increases, including that of the frame. Several analytical models, developed and studied by the authors, confirmed the hypothesis that a solution to increase the rigidity of a mechanical press with open frame is obtained by shortening it. Moreover, it occurs also a slight decrease in material consumption integrated into the frame, which is a favourable effect. There have been developed more new constructive solutions [3, 4], characterized by minimal changes to the reference design solution, that of the press frame PAI 25. The new suggested constructive solutions are obtained as 3D models, accomplished in Pro Engineer Wildfire 4, and the finite element analysis was made in Catia V5 R16. The present paper shows results on increasing stiffness and reducing stress state for a few constructive solutions of shortened C-frame, having reduced distance between the working surface of the table and the spindle bore axis.
