Application of Conference Matrices to Search for Mechanical Caulking Conditions

Abstract

We have developed a method of joining parts by applying mechanical crimping using rollers, aiming for further weight reduction and cost reduction as a processing method that replaces this bolt fastening. This technology satisfies torque resistance and pull-out load resistance by crimping a part of the crimped side part into the groove provided on the crimped side part by low load and short processing time. The conference matrices C₁₀ was used in research on the production of the processing machine conditions and part dimensions, responding to the application of this technology with the filling rate. When compare the conventional way L₃₆ and C₁₀, C₁₀ will reduce 1/3.6 for the experiment numbers, times, cost, and investment.
