Composite materials are rapidly gaining popularity as an alternative to metals for structural and load bearing applications in the aerospace, automotive, alternate energy and consumer industries. With the advent of thermoplastic composites and advances in recycling technologies, fully recyclable composites are gaining ground over traditional thermoset composites. Stamp forming as an alternative processing technique for sheet products has proven to be effective in allowing the fast manufacturing rates required for mass production of components. This study investigates the feasibility of using the stamp forming technique for the processing of thermoplastic, recyclable composite materials. The material system used in this study is a self-reinforced polypropylene composite material (Curv$^{(R)}$). The investigation includes a detailed experimental study based on strain measurements using a non-contact optical measurement system in conjunction with stamping equipment to record and measure the formability of the thermoplastic composites in real time. A Design of Experiments (DOE) methodology was adopted to elucidate the effect of process parameters that included blank holder force, pre heat temperature and feed rate on stamp forming. DOE analyses indicate that feed rate had negligible influence on the strain evolution during stamp forming and blank holder force and preheat temperature had significant effect on strain evolution during forming.

본 연구에서는 다관절 로봇 암을 활용한 열 성형 공정을 통해 열가소성 복합재 부품을 개발하였다. 유한요소해석을 기반으로 로봇 암이 적용된 고속 열 성형 공정의 최적 공정 변수를 도출하였고, 이를 기반으로 실제 제작 공정을 통해 공정 변수를 구체화하였다. 제작된 부품과 유한요소해석 간의 두께 균일성, 주름 분포를 비교하였고, 이를 통해 유한요소해석의 타당성을 입증하였다. 또한, 제작된 복합재 부품의 성형성을 평가하기 위해 결정화도와 기공률을 측정하였고, 그 결과 우수한 성형성을 보인 것으로 평가하였다. 이에 따라 본 연구는 로봇 암기반의 고속 열 성형 공정을 통한 공정 확립과 이를 통한 복합재 구조의 제작 가능성을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 유한요소법(FEM)에 기반한 CF/PEKK 열가소성 복합재 고속 열 성형 해석을 수행하였고 제작 공정을 예측 및 검증하였다. 대표적인 L 형 구조물 모델에 대해 트리밍 여유에 따른 성형성을 응력, 두께, 주름분포를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 블랭크의 트리밍 여유가 증가할수록 구조물의 성형성이 향상하는 것을 확인하였다. 특히 두께 및 주름 분포 측면에서 해석 모델과 실험 결과를 비교하여서 고속 열 성형 모델의 타당성을 검증하였다. 제작된 구조물은 시차 주사 열량 분석법 및 이미지 분석법을 통해 결정화도와 기공률이 측정되었다. 제작된 열가소성 구조물의 전 영역 기공률은 평균 0.75%, 결정화도는 약 21%로 항공기에 적용 가능한 수치로 평가되었다. 따라서 본 연구를 토대로 열가소성 복합재 고속 열 성형 공정에 대해 효과적인 예측이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Recently, LCD Backlight Unit is being replaced from cold cathode fluorescent lamp(CCFL) to external electrode fluorescent lamp(EEFL) because the EEFL has high energy efficiency and long life. Also, it can reduce energy consumption and weight. So far, external electrode ring for EEFL is produced by sheet metal press forming process. Therefore it had low precision and much material loss. To solve these problems, Multi-Forming process that has five step forming process was invented. However, low productivity is another barrier. Product speed that is controlled by the rotational speed cannot be increased due to the unsatisfied design specification. The reason is that the gap between rolled two edge parts of the sheet plate is tightly inspected. Regarding this factor, the understanding of forming behavior to each process is inevitable. This paper describes the CAE analysis of the multi-forming process by PAM-STAMP.

Microcontact printing (uCP) of alkanethiols on gold was the first representative of soft-lithography processes. This is an attempt to enhance the accuracy of classical to a precision comparable with optical lithography, creating a low-cost, large-area, and high-resolution patterning process. Microcontact printing relies on replication of a pattered PDMS stamp from a master to form an elastic stamp that can be inked with a SAM solution(monolayer -forming ink) using either immersion inking or contact inking. The inked PDMS stamp is then used to print a pattern that selectively protects the gold substrate during the subsequent etch.

Sheet metal forming has some merits that are less loss of materials in process, less time-consuming and it makes mass product possible. The product produced by sheet metal forming process has high strength compared to the weight and better surface characteristics. Therefore, sheet metal forming process is a lot used in automobiles, aircrafts, electronics and appliances. This paper made the process design for forming Bracket Front Back Frame Lower, determined the blank shape and size using PAM-STAMP, commercial software and evaluated formability. It has been proved that the optimal blank through the result forming analysis has advantage in terms of formability and spring back compared to the rectangular blank.

PAM-STAMP is a widely used program which deals with press forming analysis. A blanking used in the press process depends on the experience of the workers. Thus it causes some waste material and demands a lot of time and many costs at the manufacturing mold. So we need to optimize of the blanking size. We have studied the optimal blanking size of the Brace Center Pillar using an Inverse module in PAM-STAMP

The study presents a computer-aided analysis and its design for the forming process of .OMEGA. -type bellows tubes. Finite element analysis was carried out to perform the process simulation. Bsed on the analytic results of various conditions, the forming conditions used for angled U-type bellows tubes were determined. The 3-D modeling was constructed by I-DEAS and the process simulation was constructed by PAM- STAMP. It is concluded that the difference of height between die and bellows during the forming process causes a non-uniform shape of the bellows and also influences .OMEGA. -shape. These results can be utilized for the process design.
