The plane-strain stamping process is analyzed by a forming energy minimization method in order to obtain forming load, slip length and strain distribution in each step of punch stroke. All the developed programs are integrated into total CAD/CAE SYSTEM for the purpose of the practical usage in die design. The computed strain distribution and the amount of draw-in are compared with those of the actually developed panel It is found that there is a good agreement between theoretical and experimental results.

The surface gloss of the injection molded part is one of the most significant point for evaluation the quality of products appearance. The effects of molding condition on the gloss of HIPS(High Impact Poly Styrene) molded part were investigated in this work. The measurements of gloss on the surface of molded part were carried out with different melt temperature, mold temperature, injection pressure and holding pressure. We observed the result of HIPS gloss compared with our's previous ABS study. The more melt and mold temperature increased, the brighter the gloss increase. Holding and injection pressure had little effect on the gloss. The gloss was effected in order of melt temperature, mold temperature, injection pressure, holding pressure.

Determination of loading conditions for tube hydroforming(THF) process that implies an amount of the increment in axial feeding and internal pressure for each step is one of the most important constituents at the process design level. On account of the fact that those design factors mentioned above are imposed simultaneously during the process, suitable loading conditions are required to obtain robust products without any failure such as buckling, necking, bursting and so on. In which, especially, bursting is well known as the most frequently occurred failure in general THF process. In this study, therefore, determination of the loading condition based on the adaptive method was carried out to obtain safe loading paths. In addition, forming limit curves are applied to evaluate the derived loading conditions by using the simulation results. Consequently, it is found that described method in this study for THF process design is useful and has a feasibility.

Elasto-forming has been dedicated to specific and limited production. Today, using enhanced pad materials, it has become an efficient and economical process alternative for low and medium volume metal-forming production. The non-linear properties of elastomer which are described as strain energy function are important parameter to design and evaluate of elastomer component. These are determined by material tests which are uni-axial tension and bi-axial tension. In order to investigate the design paramerer, Finite element analysis was carried out for elasto-forming process.

단섬유 보강 플라스틱 복합재료에 사출성형에서 섬유배향은 금형 충전 공정 중의 유동장에 의해 결정되고 섬유의 배향 상태는 역으로 유동장에 영향을 미친다. 단섬유에 의 한 추가적인 응력을 포함하는 Dinh과 Armstrong의 이방성 구성방정식을 충전유동과 섬유 배향의 연계해석에 도입하였다. 충전유동의 해석은 새로운 압력 지배방정식과 에너지 방정 식을 유한요소법과 유한차분법을 이용하여 풀고 동시에 2차 배향 텐서의 변화방정식을 4차 Runge-kutta 방법으로 풀었다. 섬유의 배향상태를 구한 후에 일방향성 복합재료의 Halpin-Tsai 식과 배향 평균모델을 도입하여 사풀성형품의 이방성 기계적 성질이 예측되었 다. 직사각형 캐비티에서 수치해석결과를 실험결과와 비교하였다. 섬유배향과 유동과의 상호 연계작용을 특히 게이트 근처에서 섬유배향에 영향을 미치며 수치해석 결과는 벽면 근처에 서 유동방향으로 배향하는 shell층을 과대 예측함을 알수 있었는데 이는 배향 텐서 변화 방 정식의 최종근사에서 기인하는 오차로 판단된다. 수정된 복합최종 근사를 바탕으로 예측된 이방성 기계적 성질이 기존의 복합최종 근사에 기초한 예측보다 실험 결과에 정량적으로 보 다 잘 일치하였다.

For the process control of silicon nitride gelcasting, the effect of MeOH on the apparent gel induction time of slip, drying rate, and mechanical property of gelcast body were investigated. The apparent gel induction time showed maximum at 10~20 vol% MeOH and the drying rate of gelcast body increased in the ranged of 25~40%. The gelcast body was still machinable in the 40% of MeOH, though the mechanical property and relative density slightly decreased with increasing the amount of MeOH.

The gas-assisted injection molding process is often perceived to be unpredictable, because of the extreme sensitivity of the gas. Since a slight change in design or process parameters can significantly change the resulting gas penetration, few designers and molders have the level of experience with the new gas-assisted injection molding process required for the development of new parts. This paper is concerned with the unified molding for a thick cosmetic chest by using gas-assisted injection molding. CAE analysis was carried out to design the part and the gas channel without inducing sink marks. And based on the part weight measurement, the processing parameters to control gas penetration percentage were chosen through the method of design of experiments. A thick cosmetic chest was successfully produced using the gas assist technology. The sink mark issue associated with the conventional injection molded parts was resolved. Weight savings and cycle-time reduction were also achieved.

The wrinkling in the electromagnetic tube compression with a mandrel is remarkably smaller than that of the process without it. To analyze this phenomenon, the critical forming parameters such as the ratio of the clearance to the shell radius, the ratio of the thickness to the shell radius, and the ratio of the applied pressure to the standard pressure are introduced tp consider the effect of the mandrel, in addition to those of the thickness of shell and applied loads. The amplification ratio is also used to observe the magnitude of amplification. The results obtained by 2-D finite element method show that the initial imperfection embedded in the radius of cylindrical shell is the dominant factor to determine the final shape of the tube compression, and that the amplification ratio tends to have smaller values with the smaller clearance ratio and also with the larger thickness and pressure ratios.

It is important to control the processing conditions to maximize the replication quality of UV-molded microstructure. In the present study, the tip radius anil surface roughness of V-groove structure were measured to quantify the replication quality. UV-curing dose and the applied pressure were experimentally selected as the governing Processing conditions that affect the replication quality of the UV-molded part. Finally. an experimental optimization technique combining central composite design and desirability function approach was used to maximize the replication quality of UV-molded structure.

A finite element analysis for near-net-shape forming of Al6061 powder was performed under warm pressing. The advantages of warm compaction by rubber isostatic pressing were discussed to obtain parts with better density distributions. To simulate densification and deformed shape of a powder compact during warm pressing, the elastoplastic constitutive equation based on yield function of Shima-Oyane was implemented into a finite element program(ABAQUS). The hyperelastic constitutive equation based on the Ogden strain energy potential was employed to analyze nonlinear elastic response of rubber. Finite element results were compared with experimental data for Al6061 powder compacts under warm pressing.
