가변성형공정에서는 형상 변형이 가능한 가변금형의 성형면을 고르게 형성하기 위하여 일반적으로 우레탄, 고무 등 같은 탄성체 패드를 가변금형과 소재 사이에 삽입하여 이용한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 이러한 탄성패드가 성형성에 미치는 영향에 대한 조사를 위하여 탄성체의 경도 및 두께를 주요 변수로 고려한 수치해석적 연구를 수행하였다. 탄성패드 소재로는 우레탄을 이용하였으며, 이의 물성 획득을 위한 압축시험을 수행하였고, 초탄성체 재료 모델로 가정하여 가변성형공정해석에 적용하였다. 탄성체의 경도와 두께의 변화에 따른 해석 결과로부터 성형 정확도를 조사하기 위하여 주방향의 단면형상을 비교하였으며, 목적형상에 대한 오차를 비교하였다. 이로부터 가변성형공정에 이용되는 탄성 패드가 적절히 선정되어야 함을 확인하였으며, 패드의 경도 및 두께 선정에 대한 기준을 제안하였다.

As a forming method for curved hull plates more efficient than the flame bending, mechanical bending using multi point press forming and die-less forming is discussed in this paper. the mechanical forming is a flexible manufacturing system for automatically forming of hull parts. It is especially suited to varied curved parts. This paper discusses a multiple point pressing machine composed of a pair of reconfigurable punches in order to achieve the rapid forming of curved hull plates using division forming and presents how forming information is obtained from the given design surface. Although the mechanical forming can be efficient in the metal forming, spring back after pressing is a phenomenon which must be carefully considered when quantifying the process variables. If the spring back is not accurately controlled, the fabricated shell plate cannot meet assembly tolerance. This paper describes the principles to calculate the proper stroke of each punch at the divided areas. the strokes are determined by an iterative process of sequential pressing and spring back compensation from an unfolded flat shape to its given design surface. FEA(finite element analysis) is used to simulate the spring back of the plate and the IDA(iterative displacement adjustment) method adjusts the offset of pressing punches from the deformation results and the design surface. The shape deviations of two surfaces due to spring back are compensated by integrated system using FEA and IDA method. For the practical application, It is aimed to develop an integrated system that can automatically perform the compensation process and calculate strokes of punches of the double sides' reconfigurable multiple-press machine and some experimental results obtained with mechanical bending are presented.

Flame bending has been extensively used in the shipbuilding industry for hull plate forming In flame bending it is difficult to obtain the desired shape because the residual deformation dependson the complex temperature distribution and the thermal plastic strain. Mechanical bending such as reconfigurable press forming multi-point press forming or die-less forming has been found to improve the automation of hull plateforming because it can more accurately control the desired shape than line heating. Multi-point forming is a process in which external forces are used to form metal work-pieces. Therefore it can be a flexible and efficient forming technique. This paper presents an optimal approach to determining the press-stroke for multi-point press forming of curved shapes. An integrated configuration of Finite element analysis (FEA) and spring-back compensation algorithm is developed to calculate the strokes of the multi-point press. Not only spring-back is modeled by elastic plastic shell elements but also an iterative algorithm to compensate the spring-back is applied to adjust the amount of pressing stroke. An iterative displacement adjustment (IDA) method is applied by integration of the FEA procedure and the spring-back compensation work. Shape deviation between the desired surface and deform￡d plate is minimized by the IDA algorithm.
