The self-consistent Eulerian rate-type elastoplastic model based on the logarithmic rate is used to study finite bending of a compressible elastic-perfectly plastic rectangular block. It is found that an explicit closed-form solution for this typical inhomogeneous finite deformation mode may be available in a general case of compressible deformation with a stretch normal to the bending plane, w...

scape bending disorder is the most important factor affecting postharvest loss of gerbera cut flowers. one of the ultimate reasons for gerbera stem bending is lignin, with deformation structural functions and defensive mechanisms. this postharvest experiment was conducted to evaluate the role of phenylalanine ammonia lyase (pal) and peroxidase (pod) enzymes activity in stem bending of two gerbe...

In recent years asymmetric cross section aluminum alloy stock has been finding increasing use in various industrial manufacturing areas such as general structures and automotive components. In these areas, components are generally required to have complex curved configuration and, as such, a bending process is required during manufacture. Undesirable deformation in bending processes such as fla...

Four-roll bending process is usually used for manufacturing of seamed thick-walled and thin-walled cylinders. Due to complexity of this process, the analytical solution of plate bending in this process has not been developed completely. The existence of friction and multi-step processing makes it more difficult. Investigation of four-roll bending process using analytical and numerical methods i...

in this paper, a closed form solution for bending and free vibration analyses of simply supported rectangular laminated composite plates is presented. the static and free vibration behavior of symmetric and antisymmetric laminates is investigated using a refined first-order shear deformation theory. the winkler–pasternak two-parameter model is employed to express the interaction between the lam...

We examine the dependence of the deformation obtained by bending quasi-Fuchsian structures on the bending lamination. We show that when we consider bending quasi-Fuchsian structures on a closed surface, the conditions obtained by Epstein and Marden to relate weak convergence of arbitrary laminations to the convergence of bending cocycles are not necessary. Bending may not be continuous on the s...

As the springback of sheet metal during unloadingmay cause deviation from a desired shape, accurately predicting springback is essential for the design of sheet stamping operations. Finite-element models have not been successful in predicting springback; hence there is a need for analytical models to make such predictions. In this study, a model based on differential strains after relief from t...

The Brazier effect of originally straight cylindrical tubes under pure elastic-plastic bending is investigated by the deformation theory based on some deformation assumptions agreeing with numerous experiments. The expressions for bending moment and flattening ratio in terms of curvature are finally obtained

Textiles usually exhibit much larger resistance to in-plane deformation than to bending deformation. However, the latter essentially determines the formation of folds and wrinkles which in turn govern the overall appearance of the cloth. The resulting numerical problem is inherently stiff and hence susceptible to instability. This overview is devoted to a closer investigation of bending deforma...

Four laser scanning schemes for tube bending, including point-source circumferential scanning, pulsed line-source axial procession, and line-source axial scanning without and with water cooling are investigated in numerical simulation. The coupled thermomechanical model established using the finite element method is validated and applied to predict the bending deformation and help better unders...
