Recently, environmental pollution and energy depletion problems have been issued over the world. For this reason, many renewable systems have been developing. Of these, the Ocean Thermal Energy Conservation(OTEC) is drawing attention as the upcoming alternative energy source. In this paper, the efficiency of each of OTEC which harness the effluent from nuclear power plant was analyzed by using computer calculation. The result, shows that Ul-jin Nuclear Power Plant is the best place geographically and the regenerative cycle is most outstanding performance cycle for OTEC. The difference of temperature between surface water and deep water temperature should be greater than $20^{\circ}C$ in order to increase the efficiency.

Design sensitivity is calculated in the sheet metal forming process with an elasto-plastic finite element analysis and a direct differentiation method The sensitivity analysis is concerned with the time integration the constitutive relation considering planar anisotropy, shell elements and the contact scheme. The present result is compared with the result obtained with the finite difference approach in deep drawing processes. The obtained sensitivity information is applied to the simple optimization process for the sheet metal forming process.

The paper is concerned with an improved scheme for application of the blank holding force in order to take account of the thickness distribution in the sheet material of the flange region. The scheme incorporates with a modified membrane finite element method for planar anisotropic materials. The new scheme proposed two coefficients α and βto calculate the compressive stress in the sheet metal due to the blank holding force, which should be determined properly for accurate analysis. The effect of αand βon the blank holding force distribution and the deformed shape is investigated with simulation of rectangular cup deep drawing processes by changing parameter values.

Simulation of 3 dimensional large irregularly shaped stamping process by a dynamic approach, based on an explicit time integration scheme, has been shown to be highly efficient and robust in comparison to traditional, implicit, quasi-static ones. The objective of the work is to evaluate the results from explicit code in application to deep drawing of rectangular cup and stamping of automotive front fender, in which deformation, force, thickness distribution are calculated. The method of predicting spring back and formability by and explicit code are suggested and applied to the processes.

In this study, a method of optimal blank design using the sensitivity analysis has been proposed. To get sensitivity a well-known commercial code PAM-STAMP has been used. In order to verify this method, formings of square cup, clover shaped cup and L shaped cup have been chosen as the examples. With the predicted optimal blank both computer simulation and experiment are performed. Excellent agreements are recognized between the numerical results and the target contour shapes. Through the investigation, the proposed systematic method of optimal blank design is found to be effective in the design of the deep drawing process.

Press forming of magnesium alloy sheet is conducted at elevated temperatures to improve the press formability due to its low formability at room temperature. At elevated temperatures, magnesium alloy sheet formability is known to be very sensitive to the strain rate. In this paper, warm deep drawing tests of magnesium alloy AZ31 sheet was conducted under double forming velocity as well as single forming velocity to examine the formability change by forming velocity profile. The observed formability improvement by double forming velocity was analyzed by using the finite element analysis.

Design sensitivity analysis scheme is proposed in an elasto -plastic finite element method with explicit time integration using a direct differentiation method. The direct differentiation is concerned with large deformation, the elasto-plastic constitutive relation, shell elements with reduced integration and the contact scheme. The design sensitivities with respect to the process parameter are calculated with the direct analytical differentiation of the governing equation. The sensitivity results obtained from the present theory are compared with that obtained by the finite difference method in a class of sheet metal forming problems such as hemi-spherical stretching and cylindrical cup deep-drawing. The result shows good agreement with the finite difference method and demonstrates that the preposed sensitivity calculation scheme is a pplicable in the complicated sheet metal forming analysis and design.

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.

Process optimization is carried out to determine process parameters which satisfy the given design requirement and constraint conditions in sheet metal forming processes. Sensitivity -based-approach is utilized for the optimum searching of process parameters in sheet metal forming precesses. The scheme incorporates an elasto-plastic finite element method with shell elements . Sensitivities of state variables are calculated from the direct differentiation of the governing equation for the finite element analysis. The algorithm developed is applied to design of the variablc blank holding force in deep drawing processes. Results show that determination of process parameters is well performed to control the major strain for preventing fracture by tearing or to decrease the amount of springback for improving the shape accuracy. Results demonstrate that design of process parameters with the present approach is applicable to real sheet metal forming processes.

This paper has executed FE-analysis to review the feasibility for developing the process, which produces the narrow-cubic type cans, using the Backward Impact Extrusion process instead of using current process, multi-stage deep drawing. Proposes an analysis method by applying ALE(Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian) description to non-axisymmetric extrusion. which is appreciated as one of good solution to mesh distortion in case of the large deformation plasticity process that has mass flux, and considers the factors which affects forming-loads related to punch velocity and fulid status of material.
