Abstract:
An untruncated form of the Brazier analysis is used to model the ovalisation of plastic tubes in bending over a wide range of ovalisation values. A relationship between the different geometric parameters of the problem is obtained independently of the materials modulus. Theoretical predictions are compared with some recently reported data showing good agreement.
