Length of neutral line after bending sheet metal
Length of neutral line after bending sheet metal
(OP)
Hello,
I'm looking for the right calculation method for calculating the length of the neutral line of a piece of sheet metal after bending it into a tube.
We use 304 and 316L stainless steel. I know it depents on a lot of properties (type, temp, etc). I'm looking for a methode that is as accurate as possible.
Thanks a lot...

R<2T X=0.33T
R=2T to 4T X=0.4T
R>4T X=0.5T

The location of the line must of course change - limct's post provides a good approximation of how much.
