Abstract

During improvement of the quality of products and reducing its cost, sheet metal stamping production, being the basis for the aerospace industry, should more intensively introduce modern production technologies, especially design. There are a large number of factors influencing the stamping process (especially parts with complex geometry), more comprehensive consideration of which would allow to optimize such processes, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost and improving the quality. Currently the processes of forming and separation of complex parts by of an elastic pad are of interest from the point of view of optimization and the final determination of the nature of the behavior of the material. This includes the refinement of such parameters as the maximum permissible thinning, the strength of the die. Clarification of these and other parameters will significantly reduce energy required. Determination of these and other parameters of sheet metal stamping is possible due to application of the modern analysis methods. For numerical studies in the sheet stamping production, the variational method or FEM is the most suitable. Computer modeling makes it possible to investigate the behavior of the material, the kinematics of the workpiece movement during forming process, select the correct loading scheme for the workpiece, and also makes it possible to consider several options for the location of the workpiece in the die, which is very important for stamping thin sheet metal blanks. It provides a significant reduction of the time and costs for carrying out natural experiments, and decrease of technological preproduction preparation of sheet metal stamping. The development of a mathematical model based on the FEM makes it possible to determine not only the required parameters of the process, but also to consider the forming process during its certain stages, to determine the stress-strain state, indicating at the same time the problem zones of excessive thinning, loss of stability, the need to apply a die with a back pressure for cutting of thin sheet metal blanks. It allows to evaluate the quality of a ready product according to the calculated parameters, to use the results obtained for the design of elastic pad
