Investigation on Reduction of Crack Propagation on C type Hydraulic Press Frame

Mechanical Engineering

Generally press machine works basis on dropping of ram by ring lever. Due to tend to impact on press frame continuous cyclic motion to impact loading acts on press frame. The impact loading through press frame deals with tensile stress. This tensile stress through press frame goes to structural failure and major failure as a crack generated at the sharp corner of the C type hydraulic press frame. Solutions of the press frame given with inclined ribs, C Plate and Right angle Plate. Combination of c-fillet plate and ribbed body plate get more accurate result and stress concentration on the press frame reduce. So, here give the solution for better rigidity and stiffness in C-type frame of hydraulic press machine to minimize the crack formation in the corner of frame. Structural failure analyze by the FEA tool. This solution obtained by a mathematical model and simulation model. ANSYS-15.0 is used for a simulation process. This result compare with the analytical result.
