A FEM Simulation Based Method for Analyzing Die Transportation Safety and Developing Guideline

摘要

The developed method provides a capability to evaluate the safety factor in the die {A) transportation by using tow cart (B). The method is composed of several steps: 1) Modeling die transportation process by FEM simulation; 2) calibrating the FEM model by classic mechanics; 3) based on simulation analysis, calculating safety factors of different scenarios and suggesting safe operation guideline; 4) evaluating the calculated safety factor against the national standard, i.e. ASME national standard; 5) approving the operation guideline, if pass the evaluation.
