With important of industries, the need for highe capacity structures has increased.for example construction of very heavy presses, need very big parts such as frames and cylinders.Therefore the main concerns for manufacturing of these kinds of constructs were meticulous procedures for their production, assembly and displacement. An applied solution to decrease the frame weight is performing of an economic design to topology optimization of frame constituents. As there are few studies on the improvement of heavy duty presses, thus the aim of this project is to construction of a relatively light weight press compared with the similar cases through implementing of topology optimization module of ABAQUS software. Another strategy to decrease the press weight was utilization of pre-stressed structures which were under compressive prestress. There are several approaches to apply compressive prestress such as wire winding. The main purpose for applying of this prestress is not only a decrease in weight and increase in caring loading but also is an improvement in fatigue life via the reduction in average of stress in the loading and unloading cycles. In this regard the guidelines of wire winding were analyzed by the ABAQUS software. Due to the lack of any published procedure for this type of equipment, design of such a machine was another major task of this thesis. Design of main parts of such a winding machine was considered in this work.
