Abstract

An optimization method is proposed for preform and billet shape designs in the forging process by using the Equivalent Static Loads (ESLs). The preform shape is an important factor in the forging process because the quality of the final forging is significantly influenced by it. The ESLSO is used to determine the shape of the preform. In the ESLSO, nonlinear dynamic loads are transformed to the ESLs and linear response optimization is performed using the ESLs. The design is updated in linear response optimization and nonlinear analysis is performed with the updated design. The examples in this paper show that optimization using the ESLs is useful and the design results are satisfactory. Consequently, the optimal preform and billet shapes which produce the desired final shape have been obtained. Nonlinear analysis and linear response optimization of the forging process are performed using the commercial software LS-DYNA and NASTRAN, respectively.

본 논문은 등가정하중을 이용하여 단조공정의 예비성형체 및 빌렛의 형상설계를 위한 최적화 방법을 제안한다. 단조공정에서 예비성형체의 형상은 최종 성형품의 품질을 결정하는데 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구는 빌렛 및 예비성형체의 형상을 설계하기 위하여 등가정하중법을 사용하였다. 등가정하중법은 비선형 동적하중을 등가정하중으로 변환하고 여기서 구한 등가정하중을 이용하여 선형 응답 최적화를 수행하는 방법이다. 설계변수의 갱신은 선형 응답 최적화와 비선형 해석을 통하여 이루어진다. 본 논문에 포함된 예제는 원하는 단조품의 생산을 위한 최적의 예비성형체와 빌렛의 형상을 도출하여 제안한 방법의 유용성을 검증한다. 비선형 해석과 선형 응답 최적화는 각각 LS-DYNA와 NASTRAN을 사용하였다.
