Introduction. Implementation in production of the equipment with the computer numerical control (CNC) is the main objective of scientific and technical progress in aircraft manufacturing industries. More difficult the process of implementation and management of automa- tion systems is being solved in procuring and forming production [1]. Control of any technological process pro- ceeds by means of change of parameters and the modes of processing. Incorrectly selected modes can result in irre- versible defects (tucks, gaps) and, as a result, spoilage of details. Therefore, to find the best solution of the task of manufacturing aircraft details with the lowest expenses providing the given quality, optimization of technological processes is necessary. This task is very important, how- ever a question of optimization of technology is very dif- ficult both from mathematical and practical point of view. Problem statement. To manufacture aircraft parts from sheet procurement by the tightening method at air- craft factories, the presses of cross (Loire T 600, Loire FET 1500/6000) and longitudinal (Loire FEL 2x500) tightening of the French firm ACB are used (fig. 1). Control of parts of the press can proceed both in man- ual and in automated (according to the controlling pro- gram (CP)) mode. The S3F software which allows to cre- ate control program on the basis of geometry of a detail and physicomechanical properties of material which it is made of, is delivered to the enterprises of the aviation industry together with the equipment. The S3F software is CAM/CAE module which auto- matically creates control program in the press CNC lan- guage on the basis of the built-in kinematic model (KM) of the press. Such method of forming of control program is automated, rather simple and fast. However details formed according to the control program on the basis of the S3F software do not always provide details of the required quality. The reason of such results is a number of restrictions of the S3F software: - irrespective of a detail form only one option of tightening according to the scheme И-Р is applied (a bend with the subsequent stretching); - it is difficult to get control program for aircraft parts having difficult geometry (low technological effective- ness); - algorithms of search of initial position of the press operating parts and their further movement aren’t optimum; - the deformation model of procurement in use is simplified and doesn’t allow to predict puckering; - the program doesn’t help to define necessary defor- mation (it is set by the user); - doesn’t allow to correct a trajectory of the operating parts of the press movement. Two versions of the solution of a problem of increase in accuracy of production of the required detail form are possible: - creation new control program (correction of a trajec- tory of procurement movement); - creation new or correction of the available tightening punch. Fig. 1. Tensoning presses Рис. 1. Обтяжные прессы As there is no possibility of correction of KM in the S3F software, development of new KM of the press and the mathematical module for forming control program taking into account complexity of geometrical forms of aircraft parts is required. Such KM will give the complete idea of interconnection of movement of parts of the press [2; 3]. The KM in the form of analytical dependences allows to define a necessary combination of values of move- ments of controlling parameters of the press which will provide more accurate trajectory of tightening of sheet procurement on a punch surface. Approbation of a trajectory of tightening, distribution of deformations and tension, identification of dangerous sites (zones of possible gaps, formations of folds and puckering) allows the use of CAE software products - ANSYS, MARK, etc. The KM, realized geometrically in CAD system, allows to define by a graphic method a trajectory of the parts of the press movement on trajectories described by an evolvent. A graphic method is effective to apply only to simple forms of details (an ellipse, the cylinder, a circle). However such search of a trajectory of the movement does not guarantee exact production even for simple forms. Therefore it is convenient to use a graphic method as addition to analytical methods and as means of visuali- zation of a tightening process. To increase accuracy of production of aircraft parts it is necessary to create control program by use of various schemes of loading and opti- mization of process of tightening. In fig. 2 the scheme of possible ways of realization of process of creating control programs for tensioning presses with CNC is presented. In fig. 2 the solid lines show an option of control pro- gram creation using the S3F software. The dash lines show an option of creation of control program based on a combination of analytical calculations and finite and element modelling. The second option includes several computing units. The dotted lines show an option of crea- tion of control program using graphic programs which is approved by means of finite and element modelling [4]. The analysis of schemes of loading when tightening. As it was stated above, the program of deforming accord- ing to the diagram of И-Р is used in the S3F software. The process of B-S is characterized by the fact that a procure- ment is initially bent on a punch and then in a curved status is exposed to stretching. The frictional forces be- tween a procurement and a punch which appear in the course of stretching reduce the calibrating deformations and exert the negative impact on the process of forming as the detail springing increases. Fig. 2. The diagram of process of creation CP for presses with CNC Рис. 2. Схема процесса создания УП для прессов с ЧПУ Technological capabilities of tensioning presses with CNC also allow to realize other schemes: S-B (stretching with the subsequent bend), S1-B-S2 (preliminary stretch- ing, the subsequent bend and the additional calibrating stretching), and also their combinations BS-S (a bend with stretching and the additional calibrating stretching), etc. The process S-B is also characterized by the fact that deformation of stretching uniform on section is originally created, and then at preservation of constancy of the stretching force the bend on a punch of the corresponding curvature is made. Process of S1-B-S2 is a combination of two types of difficult loading of S-B and B1-S to various ratio of sizes of preliminary and additional stretching. In the course of BS-S there is a rounding by a procurement of a working surface of a punch along with procurement stretching, at the same time tension during all process of forming has to increase monotonously in all sections of procurement, so that the forming should occur without unloading. At the same time the angle of coverage of a punch surface by a procurement increases gradually in the process of providing abutment beginning from punch top that promotes reduction of friction forces [5; 6]. In fig. 3 diagrams of deformations and tension for various schemes of tightening and the corresponding charts of deforming are shown. Formulas for determination of resultant tension for different schemes of loading at the description of a single deformation curve in the form of linearly-stage function of a type are given in table: îïíK × en, e > e . s= ìïE × e, e £ eп, п Подпись: H εи εи-р σи σи-р Подпись: Hσр-иεр-иεраст σр Подпись: Hр1-и-р2σр1-иεр1-и-р2εр1-иεраст1 σр1 σFig. 3. Diagrams of deformations and tension, charts of deforming Рис. 3. Эпюры деформаций и напряжений, диаграммы деформирования The choice of tightening scheme depends on a detail form. Also a technologist faces a question of setting values of initial parameters of tightening process. Therefore when developing technological process it is necessary to carry out the analysis of all schemes of deformation and to choose an optimal variant to manufacture a detail with the least error [7-10]. Definition of a terminating form of a detail for various schemes of a loading. The developed mathe- matical module allows to calculate analytically a termi- nating form of a detail using various schemes of tighten- ing. The analysis of results of calculation will allow to choose the most optimal variant of a detail manufacture. Input data for calculation is the geometrical amount of sheet procurement: Н - thickness of a sheet and В - sheet width; R0nar - the external radius of a bend; E, σв, σ02 and δ - mechanical characteristics of material; εраст1 - the relative deformation of preliminary stretching and εраст2 - the relative deformation of the calibrating stretching (fig. 4). For implementation of calculations we break a sheet section by height into a set of elementary strips: M - number of elementary strips in 1 mm; N - quantity of elementary strips by section height; Δh - height of an elementary strip (a step of splitting section of a sheet). For each elementary strip we determine yk coordinate, width bk and radius ρk. We calculate tension σр1 and effort Рр1 of preliminary stretching. We define the intense- deformed state (IDS) of a sheet after preliminary stretch- ing σр1, we calculate deformations of a bend εи and the sheet IDS at a bend after stretching εр1и and σр1и. Using a bisection method we find the radius of R0 and the position of a neutral layer H0. We calculate the mo- ment of inertia of J0 relating to neutral axis. We define the IDS of a closing stage of the process of Р. S1-B-S2 - the calibrating stretching after a sheet bend with stretching - εр1ир2 and σр1ир2. We calculate the bend- ing moment of Mz and the calibrating effort of Рр2. We find change of the layer curvature passing through the center of gravity Δχct, we determine residual tension σost after unloading and the moment of residual tension relat- ing to the center of masses Mzost. We calculate a layer curvature χct passing through the center of gravity after unloading and then we get detail radius after unloading of Rnar [11]. In fig. 5 the algorithm of definition of a detail form after tightening is presented. The algorithm in fig. 5 is the solution of a problem of definition of terminating position of procurement - detail form. However, if the detail form the complicated (non- technological) then to get a detail without deviations, without completion due to change of the loading scheme only, is not always possible. In such cases it is possible to increase accuracy of manufacture of a detail for the ac- count of a punch correction. Searching for the anticipated form of a punch is the solution of the inverse task pre- sented in fig. 5. The unit of the program of calculation of a punch form correction enters the mathematical module of searching for optimum parameters of technological process of tightening [12-15].

The offered method of creating control programs is universal for tensioning presses of aviation assignment. The difference are the KM presses by means of which calculated parameters of process of tightening are transformed to values of controlling coordinates of a press which are reflected in a control program. Creating such control programs allows to make details of high accuracy in an automated mode and also to exclude or minimize the amount of finishing work.
