In this paper, propose an optimal design to improve the mechanical efficiency of gate valve made by forging method. In order to design the experiments using table of orthogonal array and optimization design is conducted as application of real response model to Taguchi method based approximation model using computer simulation. Also, from verification of the response model with optimized results was confirmed that usefulness and reliance of application Taguchi method to structural optimum design using finite element analysis and equation.

The main objective of this paper is to propose the optimal design method of forging process using genetic algorithm. Design optimization of forging process was doing about one stage and multi stage. The objective function is considered the filling of die. The chosen design variables are die geometry in multi stage and initial billet shape in one stage. We performed FE analysis to simulated forging process. The optimized preform and initial billet shape was obtained by genetic algorithm and FE analysis. To show the efficiency of GA method in forging problem are solved and compared with published results.

The die wear is one of the main factors affecting die accuracy and tool lifetime. It is desired to reduce die wear by developing simulation method to predict wear based on process parameters, and then optimize the process. Therefore, this paper describes disign methodology of preform for minimizing wear of finisher die in multi-stage cold forging processes. The finite element method is combined with the routine of wear prediction and the cold forging processes. The finite element method is combined with the routine of wear prediction and the cold forging process is analyzed. In order to obtain preform to minimize die wear, the FPS algorithm is applied and the optimal preform shape is found from iterative deformation analysis and wear calculation.

A UBET program is developed for determining flash the optimum sizes of preform and initial billet in plane-strain closed-die forging. The program consists of forward and backward tracing processes. In the forward program, flash, die filling and forging load are predicted. In backward tracing process the optimum dimensions of initial billet and preform are determined from the final-shape data based on flash design. Experiments are carried out with pure plasticine billets ar room temperature. The theoretical predictions of forging load and flow pattern are in good agree-ment with the experimental results.

In this paper, the warm forging process sequence has been determined to manufacture the warm forged product for the precision bevel gear used as the differential gear unit of a commercial automobile. The preform shape of bevel gear influences the dimensional accuracy and stiffness of final product. The aspect ratio and chamfer length are considered as design parameters to achieve adequate metal distribution in the finish forging operation. Then the optimal conditions of design parameters have been selected by artificial neural network (ANN). Finally, to verify the optimal preform shape, the experiments of the warm forging of the bevel gear have been executed. The proposed method can give more systematic and economically feasible means for designing the preform shape in metal forming process.

The drum clutch investigated in this study is formed in 5 forming steps, which are 1st deep drawing, 2nd deep drawing, restriking, embossing, and $Grob^{TM}$ processes. Dimensional accuracy of the final products greatly depends upon how much more accurate pre-form is manufactured in the previous forming processes before the $Grob^{TM}$ process. The deep drawing, restriking and embossing processes in which the pre-form is formed are very important and decisive steps. Thus in some cases, excessive strain by these operations causes dimensional inaccuracy and cracks initiated from the base and wall of the product. Process variables such as the punch shapes both of 1st and 2nd deep drawing, and punch angle were selected to evaluate the deformation characteristics. The optimum parameters were determined from forming simulations using commercial FEM codes, DEFORM and Tauchi method, specifically developed for metal forming simulation. Finally, experiments for the whole drum clutch forming processes were carried out to verify the optimized forming parameters and the analytical results.

최근까지 발표된 유한 요소법을 이용한 압연 해석 관련 주요 논문들을 정리해 보면 다음과 같다. Li와 Kobayashil는 강소성 유한 요소법(rigidplastic finite element method)을 여러가지 마찰조건에 대하여 해석하였다. 이때 압연롤은 강체 (rigid body)로 시편은 가공경화(workhardening)를 동반한 강소성체로 모델링하였다. Hwang과 Kobayashi는 강소성 유한 요소법을 이용한 평면 변형 압연에서 재료 손실을 최소화하는 예비 성형체(preform)의 설계에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 이 경우에도 역시 압연롤은 강체로 시편은 가공 경화를 동반한 강소성체와 완전 소성체로 모델링 되었으나, 고착(sticking) 마찰 조건에 대해서만 해석을 수행하였다. Mori와 Osak- ada 그리고 Oda는 약간 압축성이 있는 재료의 평면 변형 압연에 대하여 연구하였다. 이때 압연롤은 강체로 시편은 가공 경화를 동반한 강소성체로 모델링 되었으며 경계 면에서는 Coulomb 마찰을 고려하였다. 이밖에도 오일러(Eulerian) 수식화를 이용한 Dawson과 Thompson, Berman의 해석 결과가 있으며, 또 폭 방향의 변형까지를 고려한 Li와 Kobayashi, Mori와 Osakada의 3차원 해석 결과가 있다.
