Abstract
When a thin elastic strip is bent, anticlastic deforming of the cross section takes place, and the edges move away from the center of curvature. This effect can have serious consequences in several applications. However, it has been found that the magnitudes of the deformations can be very greatly reduced if the concave edges of the bent strip are tapered. The proportions of the tapers have already been worked out theoretically so as to optimize the reduction in anticlastic deformation in any given strip bent to a known radius of curvature. The main purpose of the present paper is to verify the theoretical deformations for optimally tapered strips by experiments using the moire method.
