In this study, an optimal design technique was investigated for determining appropriate dimensions of components of the die set used in the extrusion process. For this, an axi-symmetric elastic finite element program for the analysis of deformation of the shrink fitted die set was developed with the Lagrange multiplier method to implement the constraint condition of shrink fit of stress ring. By coupling the rigid-viscoplastic analysis of extrusion process by CAMPform and elastic analysis of the die set, the optimization study was made by employing optimization program DOT. Considering the various assembly conditions, optimal design was determined for a single stress ring case. It is construed that the proposed design method can be beneficial for improving the tool life of cold extrusion die set at practice.

A new approach of elastic finite element to die stress analysis in forging is presented in this paper. The die set analysis problem is formulated by considering contact problems under both mechanical and thermal loads. In the approach, amount of shrink fit is controlled by thermal load i.e., temperature difference between die insert and shrink fits. The loading conditions are extracted automatically from a forging simulator. The predicted solution is compared with analytical one and it has been shown that the predicted results are in excellent agreement with the analytical ones. An application example is given, which was found in a cold forging company.

In this paper, a general approach to structural analysis of forging die sets is presented and the related design system, AFDEX/DIE, is introduced. Structural analysis of die sets is conducted by the finite element method considering both contact problem and shrink fit. In the approach, amount of shrink fit is controlled by thermal load, i.e., temperature difference between die insert and shrink rings. The loading conditions are extracted automatically from the simulation results obtained by a rigie-thermoviscoplatic finite element method. Typical application examples are given, which show the applicability of the approach and the related program.

Generally, the - life of die is limited by fatigue fracture or dimensional inaccuracy originated from wear. In this paper, to predict the fatigue life of the dissimilar materials die, the stress and stxain histories of die can be predicted by the analysis of elasto-plastic finite element neth hod and the elastic analysis of die during the process analysis of workpiece. Using heat shrink fit analysis, initial stress of the k r t die is computed. Also, the stress-life curve of die material can be obtained through experiment. With the above two facts, we propose the analysis method of predicting fatigue life in die. In the proposed model, tlz analysis of elastic-plastic finite element method for material is carried out by using ABAQUS. Surface force resulted from the contacting border of the die and workpiece is tmnsformed into the nodal force of die to implement elastic analysis. Besides, the proposed analysis model of die is applied to the one material and the dissimilar materials extrusion die.

In the shrink or press fitted shaft such as railway axle, fretting can occur by cyclic stress and micro-slippage due to local movement between the shaft and the hub. When the fretting occurs in the press fitted shaft, the fatigue strength remarkably decreases compared with that of without fretting. In this paper, the analysis of contact stresses in a press fitted shaft in contact with a hub was conducted by finite element method and the micro-slip according to the bending load was analyzed. It is found that the largest stress concentration and maximum slip amplitude of shrink fitted shaft are found at the edge of the interface and the distribution of contact stresses at the contact edge has largely influenced and coefficient of friction.

The retaining rings used to restrain the end turns of the rotor winding against centrifugal force require very careful attention during design and manufacture because they have traditionally been the highest-stressed components of the generator. In other words, the rings maintain their shrink fits during their entire service life. In this study, using finite element method, the part of shrink fits in generator was analyzed to obtain residual stresses in retaining ring and contact Pressures between contact surfaces at zero, rated, and 120 rated speeds, respectively.

A study about the shrink fits of rotor and retaining ring in generator was performed for the cases of three radial interference. The shrink-fitted retaining ring used to restrain the end turns of the winded coils in the rotor against centrifugal force requires very careful attention during design and manufacture because it has traditionally been the highest-stressed component of the generator. The contact pressures and residual stresses were obtained by the finite element analysis for each radial interference at zero, 100% rated, and 120% rated speeds, respectively. The results of analysis show that the radial interference in use needs to be increased carefully.

The bearing clearance is influenced by shrink fit and thermal expansion during operation. The designer must take into account the reduction of clearance after installation to the interference fits, and thermal expansion must be considered. The purpose of this study is to grasp the internal clearance variation and behavior of a bearing which is a deep connected with fatigue life of bearing and performance of spindle through FEM(Finite Element Method). Finite element analysis is performed by using commercial code ANSYS according to variation of thermal condition and rotational speeds. This paper presents correct negative internal clearance according to temperature during operation. Furthermore, interrelation between thermal expansion and contraction are presented to maintain adequate contact force for three type of spindle system (HSK-A60, HSK-40E, HSK-32E). The influence of the centrifugal force and Internal clearance variation of bearing is studied to operating rotational speed.

In manufacturing aircraft, safety and lightness of structure are important factors. Utilizing autofrettage technique, these benefits can be obtained. This technique is most frequently applied to a single cylinder. However, the Bauschinger effect reduces the benefits of autofrettage process Therefore, there is increasing interest in the use of compound cylinder that combine shrink fit and autofrettage. In this paper, single and compound cylinders that has same geometry were considered. It was found that compound cylinder which was autofrettaged has lower tangential hoop stress and plastic strain than single cylinder at bore. This means a reduction in the impact of the Bauschinger effect after shrink-fitting which produces the beneficial bore hoop stress.
