Combined analysis of technological processes and load conditions of casting

Abstract

Astract: The article shows the significance of constrained simulation of both the technological and structural behavior of cast parts for the purpose to improve service performance and durability of the parts. Complicated shape cast part was analyzed under loading conditions and as a preliminary the casting process was simulated. Shrinkage defects were predicted in casting and the stresses were estimated in the cast part. © 2012 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
