Grey-relational analysis for fluid assisted blank holding system in deep drawing process for Al alloy 1050 by using a numerical simulation S.S. Sarnobat, B.B. Ahuja, N.K. Kamble, B.U. Sonawane International Journal of Manufacturing Technology and Management, 2021 The objectives of this work is to develop a fluid assisted blank (FAB) holding system for deep drawing process and to study the effect of process parameters on thickness distribution, wrinkling and strain rate for Al 1050 through experiments. Deep drawing method have been investigated on Al alloy 1050 material, which is one of the lightest material for manufacturing parts. Limiting drawing ratio (LDR) has been improved compared to the conventional constant force mechanical blank holding system. Experiments were carried out by considering input parameters as punch force and blank holding force. The responses were measured using a modern photogrammetric measurement system named ARGUS. Multi-objective optimisation technique, grey relational analysis has been used to find out optimum process parameters for the present conditions. The experimental results reveal that the quality of the resultant cup has been enhanced in terms of thickness distribution, strain rate and surface finish. The effectiveness of the FAB process has also been verified through simulation tools such as LS-DYNA and FEA. These results were compared with the experimental results.
Dynamic mechanical and creep properties of poly(ether ketone)-graphite nanoplatelet (GNP) nanocomposites S. D. Gaikwad, S. V. Dravid, B.U. Sonawane, Mathew Abraham, R. K. Goyal Polymer Plastics Technology and Materials, 2019 Poly(ether ketone) (PEK) matrix nanocomposites containing graphite nanoplatelet (GNP) were prepared through planetary ball mill followed by hot pressing for the creep and creep recovery study. The creep behavior was studied in the linear viscoelastic region at three different temperatures (75–125℃). The incorporation of 0.5 wt.% GNP has significantly increased the creep resistance. However, further addition of GNP into the matrix lowered the rate of increase in creep resistance. All nanocomposites showed an increase in glass transition temperature, dimensional stability, and storage modulus compared to pure PEK. Findley power law fits nicely the creep data.
