Abstract

The purposes of this study are predictions of the changes in the section geometry and determination of the initial cross section so that opposite side in height direction is exactly parallel after coiling process. Finite element analysis is carried out for the calculation of the sectional changes for mold spring item. Analysis results reveal that the slope of the top and bottom sides varies in the range of 5 to 8 degrees and the amount depends on the dimension of the outer diameter. The slopes of the sides should be defined first among design variables.
