Design and Modification of Foremost Element of Hydraulic Press Machine

Abstract

The goal of structure optimization is to decrease total mass of hydraulic press while assuring adequate stiffness. Structural optimization tools and computer simulations have gained the paramount importance in industrial applications as a result of innovative designs, reduced weight and cost effective products. A method of structure optimization for hydraulic press is proposed in order to reduce mass while assuring adequate stiffness. Key geometric parameters of plates which have relatively larger impacts on mass and stiffness are extracted as design variables. In order to research relationship between stiffness, mass and design variables, common batch file is built by CREO and analysis is done in ANSYS. Top plate , movable plate and column design and analysis done.
