forces required to bend tubing

forces required to bend tubing

(OP)
I'm looking for information and descriptions of the maths for calculating the forces required to permanantly bend tubing using a fixed die and rolling wiper. Anyone have any suggestions for this metallurgist who's a bit out of his element?

I can post a schematic of the machine in a bit if that will help.

RE: forces required to bend tubing

You can also refer to some strength of material college textbooks such as Singer and find info. on tube bending, not necessarily on the forces and torques required to bend tube but on springback after bending.
