FINITE ELEMENT SIMULATION OF DEEP DRAWING PROCESS
Keywords:
Deep Drawing, Taguchi’s Orthogonal Array, ANOVAAbstract
Sheet metal forming is most widely used in manufacturing industries for the fabrication of a wide range of products. In this paper an attempt has been made to investigate the effect of process parameters viz., die radii, punch radii, blank holder force, lubricant type, lubricant position, punch velocity and draw depth and also to obtain the percentage contribution of each parameter on the outcome of process. Simulation is done using Altair® Hyperworks® 9 Software. Taguchi’s orthogonal array is used for determining number of experiments and ANOVA is used as statistical tool to achieve the stated objective.
