Calculation of Setup Variables for the Process of Bending and Rolling the Thin-Walled Components Using the Finite-Difference Method
A mathematical model of the process of bending and rolling the thin-walled components is presented taking into account the geometrical nonlinearity. Also presented is the technique for calculating the setup variables of bending equipment, which is based on reduction of the initial differential boundary-value problem to the discrete one with the use of the finite-difference method.
