Design for a New Type of Powder Molding Equipment Based on Multibody Dynamics Simulation

Abstract

A new compaction powder metallurgy equipment integrated with the mould and the frame is introduced to substitute the traditional powder metallurgy equipment (P/M). During the design and manufacture, finite element method is used to analyze the motion of the equipment. The Lagrange equation and modal synthesis method for flexible body are constructed, and then the cooperative simulation method using ADAMS and MARC is present for solving flexible multibody dynamics of flexible body. Results show that the design of the structure of the powder metallurgy equipment is feasible and the low cost and the simple structure are its merits compared to the traditional equipment.
