Hello everyone,

I need help calculating the force required to bend a 99% pure copper sheet that is 40" X 40" x 12mm thick. The sheet is secured at both ends. It requires a 2" offset bend in the center. The die used is a cup like shape which has a 4" radius. The die is 40" long. Please help me with this one. Attached is a little sketch if this helps.
