چکیده

Airliner’s parts are very critical and should be manufactured properly without any defects, because every fault may lead to irreparable happening. Therefore, the manufacturing of the parts of airliners is very significant.  One of the production methods for manufacturing these parts is die press metal forming (stamping). This process which is a kind of sheet metal forming process, in recent years has become one of the most widely used methods in the field of manufacturing industrial parts with complex geometry. Therefore, studying the effective factors in the proper execution of the process helps to achieve high-quality products and optimal geometry. To analyze the behavior of materials during the die press forming process, the FEM simulation procedure should be applied. In this study, manufacturing (stamping) of a part related to the tail of the 8-person capacity airliner, is investigated through FEM simulation. The FEM simulation is performed via ABAQUS software. Due to the importance of the weight of airliners, their parts are usually made of aluminum alloys. In this project, Al6061 is designated for the mentioned part. The results of the simulation show that the designed dies are suitable and the forming process is completely performed.
