Investigation Of Contact Pressure Distribution On Sheet Metal Stamping Tooling Interfaces: Surface Modeling, Simulations, And Experriments, Sripati Sah
Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014
In stamping operations, sheet metal is formed into a desired shape by pressing it in a hydraulic or mechanical press between suitably shaped dies. As a predominant manufacturing process, sheet metal forming has been widely used for the production of automobiles, aircraft, home appliances, beverage cans and many other industrial and commercial products. A major effort till date on stamping processes monitoring has been focused on investigating variations in the press force. Given that the press force itself is an integral of the contact pressure distribution over the die and binder contact interfaces, it is conceivable that defects may be …
