Optimization of Pre-Forging of the Aircraft Wheel Hub by FEM

Article Preview

Abstract:

Optimization and design for shape and size of pre-forging with numerical simulation have some advantages compared with the conventional methods. The optimization object is the pre-forgings of an aircraft wheel hub. A commercially available software DEFORM 3D is used for the finite element method (FEM) simulation of the forging process of the aircraft wheel hub. The pre-forgings with three different shapes and sizes were used for numerical simulation. The effects of shape and size of the pre-forging on mould filling, forging load, effective strain and effective stress were analyzed. Finally, the suitable shape and size of the pre-forging were obtained based on the numerical simulation results.
