Numerical Simulation of Polyurethane Pad Punching Process

Abstract:

A numerical simulation was conducted to investigate the effect of the punching clearance, the thickness of sheet, and the hardness of polyurethane pad on the process of punching by finite element program ABAQUS which based on shear failure criterion and arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian adaptive meshing method. And the collapse height dimension and width dimension tendency of the sheet under different control parameters was analyzed after punching process according to this simulation result. The results show that the collapse height dimension and width dimension decreased with the increase of the polyurethane hardness, it means the cross section quality perspicuously has been increased; the collapse height dimension and width dimension decreased with the increasing of the sheet thickness; while the influence of the punching gap is indistinctive.
