Optimum Shape and Dies Design for New Thin Metal Gasket by Using Simulation Experiment

Abstract:

In this study, new thin corrugated metal gasket will be developed by using simulation experiment. The optimal design and dies design for gasket manufacturing is determined by using computer simulation based on finite element analysis (FEA). In the design stage, the Taguchi method is used to predict optimal design of new thin corrugated metal gasket. The L9 orthogonal array was concerned to design experimental matrix for four factors with three levels. In the manufacturing stage, gasket product is simulated by using ANSYS 14.5 and experimental press forming process by using press hydraulic machine. From the result, the optimal design is the model with R = 3 mm, p = 6 mm, OH = 3 mm and h = 0.2 mm. Based on simulation results and experimental press forming product, it can be concluded that the virtual design from computer simulation results can be used for predicting the real product.
