F_B = (K_bd*L_b*σ_ut*t_blank^2)/w
This formula uses 6 Variables

Variables Used

Bending Force - (Measured in Newton) - Bending Force is the force required to bend a particular material about an axis.
Bending Die Constant - Bending Die Constant is a numerical value used in metal working to quantify the relationship between applied force and material deformation during bending operations.
Bent Part Length - (Measured in Meter) - Bent Part Length is the portion of the stock needed to be bent using bending operation.
Ultimate Tensile Strength - (Measured in Pascal) - Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) is the maximum stress that a material can endure before breaking under tension.
Blank Thickness - (Measured in Meter) - Blank Thickness is the thickness of the material being worked on before any operations are performed on it.
Width between Contact Points - (Measured in Meter) - Width between Contact Points is the necessary width between contact points to prevent defects and produce desired results.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Bending Die Constant: 0.031 --> No Conversion Required
Bent Part Length: 1.01 Millimeter --> 0.00101 Meter (Check conversion here)
Ultimate Tensile Strength: 450 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 450000000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Blank Thickness: 8.99 Millimeter --> 0.00899 Meter (Check conversion here)
Width between Contact Points: 34.99162 Millimeter --> 0.03499162 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

F_B = (K_bd*L_b*σ_ut*t_blank^2)/w --> (0.031*0.00101*450000000*0.00899^2)/0.03499162

Evaluating ... ...

What is Bending operation ?

Bending refers to the operation of deforming a flat sheet around a straight axis where the neutral plane lies. The disposition of the stresses in a bent specimen, is due to the applied forces, the top layers are in tension and bottom layers are in compression. The plane with no stresses is called the neutral axis. The neutral axis should be at the centre when the material is elastically deformed. But when the material reaches the plastic stage, the neutral axis moves downward, since the material oppose compression much better than tension.

How to Calculate Bending Force?

Bending Force calculator uses Bending Force = (Bending Die Constant*Bent Part Length*Ultimate Tensile Strength*Blank Thickness^2)/Width between Contact Points to calculate the Bending Force, Bending Force is required to deform and bend the component in the desired shape during a bending operation. Bending Force is denoted by F_B symbol.
