F= A x Tß

F = Cutting force
S = Material thickness
Cutting force L = Total cutting length
A = L x S = Shear area
Tß = Shear strength
Note : Shear strength = 80% of tensile strength

P= ( L x S x Tß ) / 10
P = Stripping force
Stripping force S = Material thickness
L = Total cutting length
A = L x S = Shear area
Tß = Shear strength

L = a + ( R + q x s/2 )( Pi x ° / 180)
L = Flat blank length
a, b = Length of legs
R = Bend radius
q = Correction factor ( refer to table below )
° = Bend angle
Pi = 3.1416

R = Bend radius
S = Material thickness
E = ( D + s ) 0.707
C = ( D + s ) 1.414
E = Center distance
C = Center distance between two apart radii
s = Material thickness
D = Inside diameter of final formed part
R = D/2 ( approximate )
Note : if R = D/2, radii will be tangent, if R /= D/2, radii will require
blending.
