Derivation of relations and analysis of tube bending processes using discontinuous fields of plastic strains. Part II. Discussion and analysis of the obtained results

This paper presents the calculation results obtained on the basis of three formal simplifications (derived in Part I) gradually led into the main components of the generalized model of strain where suitable simplifications of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd type have been obtained. The paper also presents the results of considerations on the wall thickness distribution in the vertex point of the elongated layers of the bent elbow, and values of main components of the strain state and intensity of the strain (equivalent strain) depending on the bending angle for the generalized strain scheme and three simplified methods. The results are shown in the form of graphs and table.
