In this research, optimization process of axisymmetric extrusion dies is proposed. Plastic zone is analyzed using finite element method in the Eulerian system with flow formulation. The die profiles are defined by Bezier curves with six control points. Two effective functions are considered in this research; standard deviation of the strain rate and the rate of energy consumption during extrusi...

In aluminum extrusion, a work-piece (billet) is pressed through a die with an opening that closely resembles the desired shape of a profile. By this process, long profiles with an enormous variety of cross-sections can be produced to serve different markets such as building, construction and transport industry. When the shape of a profile does not conform to the specifications defined by the cu...

With the I-type plastic extrusion die for example, the advantages and disadvantages between the traditional design method and optimization design method were compared. The design was studied via finite element numeric analysis combined with optimization, whose objective was the equal average flow velocity of each sub-field of profile cross section at extrusion die. And the optimization design w...

The assessment of the influence of the work-hardening of material on the optimum die profile and drawing force  in rod drawing process is the main objective of the present paper. The upper bound solution, based on the assumption of perfect plasticity, has been extended to consider the work-hardening of the material during the rod drawing process through curved dies. Analytical results of drawin...

The dimensioning of injection heads for the extrusion of rubber profiles is exclusively based on empiric knowledge of the non-linear viscoelastic flow behaviour of elastomers especially of the so-called die swell.Thus, the design of injection heads is carried out with subject to the used rubber blend, whereas the geometry of the appropriate profile is achieved by empiric adaptation of the extru...

3D die stacking is a promising technique to allow miniaturization and performance enhancement of electronic systems. Key technologies for realizing 3D interconnect schemes are the realization of vertical connections, either through the Si die or through the multilayer interconnections. The complexity of these structures combined with reduced thermal spreading in the thinned dies complicate the ...

in the continuous gas lift operation, compressed gas is injected into the lower section of tubing through annulus. the produced liquid flow rate is a function of gas injection rate and injection depth. all the equations to determine depth of injection assumes constant density for gas based on an average temperature of surface and bottomhole that decreases the accuracy of gas lift design. also g...

This paper describes the design of an observer for use in a distributed parameter control system which is used to regulate the surface temperature profile of a tool or die being manufactured by sprayforming. The observer design is complicated by the time varying obscuration of the surface from the sensor caused by the equipment performing the spraying. Three potential observer designs are prese...
