Maximum force FSt max die bending according to Oehler
Similar to deep drawing, the mean factors are between 0.6...0.9.
For steel sheets in the thickness range 0.5mm ≤ s0 ≤ 10mm and with 5 ≤ w / s0 ≤ 20 and w / rst ≥ 5, this relationship yielded results that corresponded well with experimental findings.19
