in this paper, a novel technique on friction aided deep drawing using tapered blank holder divided into eight segments is proposed to overcome defect of friction aided deep drawing using four segments tapered blank holder technique. a taper blank holder is designed to be of two parts: stationary part with 5 degree taper angle and moving parts divided into eight tapered segments. the main functi...

In this research, two new methods that improve the drawing depth of deep-drawing processes have been introduced. In the first technique, by creating ridges on the punch surface, the stress concentration is decreased on the blank near the punch edge, in turn increasing the drawing depth. The second method is based on the principle of reducing resistant force in the flange area between the die, t...

Abstract   Fiber-metal laminates (FMLs) are new type of composite materials which could improve defects of traditional composites in ductility, formability, impact and damage tolerance. Drawing behavior of a thermoplastic based FML was investigated consisting of glass-fiber reinforced polypropylene composite laminate and aluminum AA1200-O as the core and skin layers, respectively. The effects o...

A new method for increasing LDR in deep drawing is application of anti-lock braking system (ABS) on blank holder. In this method, instead of applying a constant force on blank and control the metal flow, the ABS system holds and releases the blank several times (20 to 50 times) which results increasing LDR. This study investigates the effect of different parameters of ABS on improving the condi...
