APPLICATION OF CAE SYSTEMS IN FORMING OF DRAWPIECES WITH USE RUBBER-PAD FORMING PROCESSES

摘要

This article shows example result of computer simulations supporting production process of bearing housing of aircraft engine. Verification of both deep drawing process project and tools design were carried out using finite element models implemented in eta/Dynaform 5.8.1 system and LS-DYNA solver. Wrinkling and fracture of the material were the main phenomena subjected to the investigation on the way of numerical analysis. A number of computer simulations were carried out in aim to analyze the deformation and strain distribution in the final product, as well as to eliminate the mentioned defects. In addition the comparison of results of both industrial tests and computer simulation was done.
