Process optimisation in deep drawing
Keywords:
Optimisation, sensitivity analysis, deep drawingAbstract
A numerical technique for process optimisation applied to the deep drawing of sheet metals is proposed in this paper. This technique is based on the combination of an optimisation algorithm and a finite element method. The optimisation algorithm is based on a gradient method containing a sensitivity analysis and allows to optimise process parameters in order to obtain a final product with the desired shape. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed approach.
