Data-driven indirect punch wear monitoring in sheet-metal stamping processes

Identifying Sources of Variation in Sheet Metal Stamping

Manufacturers using traditional process control charts to monitor their sheet metal stamping processes often encounter out-of-control signals indicating that the process mean has changed. Unfortunately, a sheet metal stamping process does not have the necessary adjustability in its process variable input settings to allow adjusting the mean response in an out-of-control condition, hence the sig...

Prediction of Instability in Planar Anisotropic Sheet Metal Forming Processes

In this paper instability of planar anisotropic sheet metal during a few forming processes is investigated for the first time. For this reason components of the constitutive tangent tensor for planar anisotropic sheets are developed. By using the above tensor location of necking is predicted. Direction of the shear band is also predicted using the acoustic tensor. A finite element program is pr...

A mechanics model for sheet-metal stamping using deformable dies

This paper studied the deformation mechanisms of sheet metals stamped by rigid punches and deformable dies. Emphasis was placed on the development of elastic plastic zones in the sheet workpieces, on the functions of the die parameters and on their correlations with spring-back. It was found that the reduction of spring-back was due mainly to the interface interaction offered by the dies. The p...

Research on the Micro Sheet Stamping Process Using Plasticine as Soft Punch

Plasticine is widely used in the analysis of metal forming processes, due to its excellent material flow ability. In this study, plasticine is used as the soft punch to fabricate array micro-channels on metal sheet in the micro sheet stamping process. This is because plasticine can produce a large material flow after being subjected to force and through the material flow, the plasticine can cau...
