Bending of a thin strip by a circular tool

We present a model of transverse bending of a wide thin elastic, elastoplastic, or rigid-plastic strip by a circular tool in the case of large displacements. The bending of the initial rectilinear strip is modeled by small increments in the load on the tool with analysis of the forces, moments, curvature, and the midline equation. The final form of the strip and the residual stresses are determined after elastic unloading. The model describes technological operations of sheet slab bending in dies and on roller-bending machines.
