New trends in the deep drawing of tailored blanks demands for the analysis of process parameters and their setup to obtain the drawn parts with required shape precision, strength and stiffness. One option is to perform the experiments, measurements and optimization of that process on an experimental laboratory device and to compare the results to those from simulations. This contribution deals with the redesign of a device that is used at the Institute of technologies and materials with regard to replacement of strain gauge force measuring system by piezoelectric force measuring system. The new design is also focused on a new way of setting the blankholder pressure applied on the tailored blank.
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.
