Laminated hooks are widely used in steel industry. Due to its high load carrying capacity they are use for loading and unloading of material in heavy steel industry. Laminated hook got its name from the process of manufacturing it. they are made of plates which are rivets together. In industry when continuous and unloading occur the failure of hook take place, but in laminated hook when crack or faults occurs the faulty plate can replace by the new one this reduces time and cost. In this project we will calculate the bending stress occurred in hook and the factures effecting its life Weight optimization of hook using topological approach it's taken in to consideration. Topological approach of weight optimization, in this weight will be reduce in area where more stress is present. Simulation of the hook is done using topological approach. model is created, then meshing is done, FEA analysis(ANSYS 14.0) carried out. The geometry which will obtain at the end of the simulation, the dimension will be consider and scaled prototype is manufacture. Testing of the laminated hook is done on UTM.
In order to produce high quality parts with high pressure die casting, computer aided simulation has been used to optimize mold designs. Finite difference (differential), finite volume and finite element methods have been used in the filling process simulation and significant progress has been made for general problems. Further work on mold design optimizations is still desired to address specific issues. In die casting, the die often has more than one cavity with multiple cavities producing the same or different parts. Multiple cavities require the application of branch runners connecting to a main runner. The design of the runner system has always been a topic for die casting, since it is important for the designer to ensure that multiple cavities start filling at the same time and have the same fill time. A key factor in the design is to adjust the cross section area of each branch runner according to the cavities' volumes; however, this may not be enough to fill the cavities simultaneously. The angle between the branch runner and the main runner has been observed to have effects on the filling pressure, filling time and residual stresses, but the observations were limited to very simple lab level die design rather than practical castings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
