In the tube hydroforming process, a tube is placed into the die cavity and the ends of the tube are sealed by fixing the axial cylinder piston into the ends. Then the tube is pressurized with a hydraulic fluid and simultaneously the axial cylinders move to feed the material into the expansion zone. Therefore, the quantitative relationship between process parameters such as internal pressure and feeding amount and hydroformabillity, is hard to establish because of their high complexity and many unknown factors. In this study, the empirical and the quantitative relationship between process parameters and hydroformabillity are analyzed by fuzzy rules. Fuzzy expert system is an advanced expert system which uses fuzzy rule and approximate reasoning. Many process parameters are converted to the quantitative relationship by use of approximate reasoning of fuzzy expert system. The comparison between experimentally measured hydroformabillity from hydroforming experiments and the predicted values by fuzzy expert system shows a good agreement.

Geometric mapping technique has been used to find the shape of initial blank for sheet forming. The method was chosen because of its simplicity and numerical efficiency. Error in blank shape were measured along deformation path by FE analysis of forming. Blank shape was modified by volume additionaddition/Subtractiontraction method with taking with taking into account of deformation path. Modified blank shape shows an acceptable result, showing the current method can be an useful tool for predicting blank shape in the practical application. More test will be done to verify the validity of the method.

Warpage is a major defect frequently found in the injection molding process, and the reduction of warpage is a very challenging problem because of the uncontrollable factors, such as variations in the process parameters. Without any countermeasure against these noises, attempts to reduce the defects often lead to failure. In this research, a new robust design methodology, based on the Mahalanobis Taguchi System (MTS) to reduce warpage, is presented. The MTS performs the orthogonal array experiments and uses the signal-to-noise (SN) ratio of the Mahalanobis distance as a performance metric. The validity of the proposed method is illustrated through an optimal design of the injection molding process of a CPU base plate.

In the automobile and machine industry, Forming type conveyer system have problems in that hinge belt plate are stretched, produce a noise and get abrasion. they make the machine get out of order. we make hinge belt thicker for reducing the trouble. Thick hinge belt was stronger. But it was heavier. And it was hard to come up with buyer's expectations because the mold which makes the hinge belt have limit of strength, life cycle and size. So, we developed the machine welded each part of hinge belt plate.

An analysis system for sheet metal forming has been developed to improve the design and tryout process by predicting the deformation behaviour more precisely. This analysis system consists of forming analysis, springback analysis and post processor modules. The more accurate prediction of stress history can be achived due to the improved contact algorithm. Successive simulation of several processes can be carried out conveniently without interrupt by the improved data management of the developed system. The error of data transfer between forming analysis and springback analysis is minimized using the proper shell element. Several benchmark test results and practical results are presented to show the effectiveness and reliability of this program.

To reduce the weight of the car and ensure the safety of the driver while driving, the existing 440 MPa-class mounting bracket was treated at 590MPa to improve collision safety and secure the weight of the vehicle body. The following conclusions were drawn from the tensile test, forming analysis, and springback prediction. In the formability and springback analyses using FLD, it could be confirmed that bending was an essential process because the formability and flatness were much better when bending was added than when bending was not applied. Based on the research results, it was deduced that the mold design was necessary so that the molding was carried out at a strain rate of 20% or less for stable molding.

A process sequence in precision press forming of electrnic components is investigated by the finite element method. Aperture, a key component of electronic gun, is formed through a sequence of about 15 operation, among which the beading & bending, the first piercing, the first coining, and the second coining operations are expected to be most critical in view of industrial experts opinions. Thus, the analysis per- formed by a commercial code MARC focuses on the three operations, and comparisons are made between the results of the analysis and the measurements of experimental forming of the component.

Implants for rhinoplasty should ideally be biocompatible and possess long-term stability after implantation. Silicone implants are most widely used for rhinoplasty. However, these implants suffer from problems related to high extrusion and infection rates. To minimize these complications, we propose a novel augmentation rhinoplasty technique using tissue engineering. To demonstrate its feasibility, a nasal-implant-shaped scaffold was designed using commercialized CAD software and fabricated using a Multi-head Deposition System, which is a solid freeform fabrication system that dispenses material. In vitro cell proliferation and chondrogenic differentiation tests were carried out using nasal septal chondrocytes.

It is well known that the quality and efficiency of the design of metal forming processes can be significantly improved with the aid of effective numerical simulations. In the present study, a two-and three-dimensional finite element simulation system, CAMP form, was developed for the analysis of metal forming processes in the PC environment. It is composed of a solver based on the thermo-rigid-viscoplastic approach and graphic user interface (GUI) based pre-and post-processors to be used for the effective description of forming conditions and graphic display of simulation results, respectively. In particular, in the case of CAMPform 2D (two-dimensional), as the solver contains an automatic remeshing module which determines the deformation step when remeshing is required and reconstructs the new mesh system, it is possible to carry out simulations automatically without any user intervention. Also, the forming analysis considers ductile fracture of the workpiece and wear of dies for better usage of the system. In the case of CAMPform 3D, general three-dimensional problems that involve complex die geometries and require remeshing can be analyzed, but full automation of simulations has yet to be achieved. In this paper, the overall structure and computational background of CAMPform will be briefly explained and analysis results of several forming processes will be shown. From the current results, it is construed that CAMPform can be used in providing useful information to assist the design of forming processes.
