Sensitivity Analysis of Deep Drawing Process Control Parameters

Abstract

The problem of sheet metal stamping in general was analyzed, defining the parameters involved and the objectives to be reached for process optimization.

D.O.E. (Design of experiments) and statistical analysis (ANOM, ANOVA) techniques were applied to the case of a component which, though of geometrically simple configuration, was representative of the process.

The objective of the work was methodological: through this application, it was possible to develop a series of procedures and obtain positive initial results, particularly as regards sensitivity analysis for the parameters involved.
