Design and Analysis of a Impact Plate

Abstract

The plate in the rubber molding press plays an important role in molding operation. The press is a four column compression rubber molding press. When the impact load is been applied on the plate, the deflection of the plate takes place and stresses are induced in the plate. In this paper the various parameters of plate like thickness, deformation are calculated. The plate model is drawn using the modeling software solid works and using ANSYS workbench15 software, the deflection and stress is been found out by using ANSYS and we also do the thermal analysis of that plate. The results obtained by ANSYS are compared with theoretical results which are very helpful to avoid the stresses and deflection in the plate.
