Effiziente Methode zur Bestimmung von dynamischen strukturellen Belastungen in Großpresswerkzeugen
(2016)
In order to achieve the energy and efficiency goals in modern automotive press shops, press systems with increasingly high stroke rates are being implemented (Meinhardt in proceedings of ACI forming in car body engineering. Bad Nauheim, Germany 2012). As a side effect, the structural dynamic loads on the press and especially on the forming tool increase. Hence, to design reliable and withstanding forming tools, a detailed knowledge of the vibrations and resulting critical loads is essential. In this paper, the main focus is put on the vibration of the blankholder—the heaviest moving component in the forming tool. To predict those vibrations, a coupled multibody-finite element simulation (MBS-FEM) is conducted, which combines rigid and elastic modeling approaches. Also, an experimental validation of the blankholder vibration under operational load is carried out. To compare the numerical and experimental results—both in time and frequency domain—an 1/3-octave analysis of a blankholder’s vibrational speed is performed. The test measurements agree well with the MBS-FEM simulation.
Finite element simulation of blankholder’s lift-off in a deep drawing tool using Abaqus/Standard
(2015)
In the deep drawing tools for forming car body parts, heavy blankholders are used to prevent buckling and wrinkling of the blank. During each press cycle, those large masses need to be lifted, raising thereby the structural dynamic load on the deep drawing tool and on the press. Therefore a detailed knowledge about the blankholder’s lift-off event is essential for an accurate and robust design of forming tools. In this paper, a dynamic finite element method (FEM) simulation of a blankholder’s lift-off in a selected automotive deep drawing tool is presented enabling identification of regions of critical stresses. The FEM model is built within the Abaqus/CAE environment and solved with Abaqus/Standard. Each dynamic analysis is preceded by a static analysis where the gravity load is applied and the lifting bolts are pre-stressed. A special emphasis is put on modeling the elastomer dampers, which are installed between lifting bolts and the blankholder to avoid hard impacts during the lift-off event. Those dampers are modelled using a hyperelastic material with hysteresis. In addition, an experimental validation of a blankholder’s vibration under operating loading was carried out. The simulation results are in good agreement with the measurements.
To improve efficiency in automotive press shops, press systems with increasingly high stroke rates are beingimplemented, raising thereby the structural dynamic load on the press and especially on the forming tool. Adetailed knowledge of the vibrations and resulting critical loads is thus essential for accurate and reliable de-signs of forming tools. In this paper, multibody simulation (MBS) of a selected automotive tool is presentedenabling the identification of the vibration of its components. Starting from a pure rigid modelling approach,the MBS model is extended by adding finite element (FE) component to allow extra flexibility in the sys-tem. As an example, a detailed vibrational analysis - both in time and frequency domain - is performed ona blankholder. Also an experimental validation of a blankholder vibration under operational load is carriedout, with test signal data gained by piezoelectric accelerometers.
