Research of press-forming of the sheet parts with curved edges using the elastomer with tangent pressing of the material in the deformation center has been carried out. Suitability of the mathematical model has been confirmed. The results of the research have provided for elaboration of the method for designing the curved edges constrained bend process with elastomer that minimizes the bend radius, increases the part walls thickness, and decreases the edge springing angle.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
