Abstract
The quasi-static behaviour of inversion tubes can provide insight into features of the load pulses generated during dynamic/impact loading of the tubes. A rigid-plastic analysis of the first stage of forced, internal inversion is provided. The assumption that the tube conforms to the profile of the shaped die is removed. The influence of the interaction surface in plastic deformation is investigated by utilising a three-dimensional Tresca yield criterion for shells.
