Abstract
In this study, finite element analysis is carried out to estimate horizontal forces needed for the required power calculation and vertical forces applied on the structural analysis model for the development of automatic serrated surface at metal gasket core machining system. By considering of elasto-plastic material characteristics, nonlinear contact analysis was conducted to compute these loads according to the change of roll reduction, frictional coefficient and core thickness. As the result, horizontal and vertical reaction force variations are found according to parameters and maximum reaction force is also confirmed to be most affected by roll reduction.
