This paper provides a theoretical approach in predicting the penetration of elastic-elastoplastic deformation of a bend plate at the top roll contact when a continuous four-roll plate bending process is operating. The theory enables the prediction of the plate local bend radius relative to its corresponding anticipated bend radius, and the depth of elastic-elastoplastic deformation penetration to be obtained. The analysis considers a possibly elastic deformation being sandwiched by two elastoplastic bands, and separates the elastoplastic yielding into the instantaneously incremental elastic and the instantaneously incremental plastic deformation. It accounts for the operational mechanisms in bending of an initially flat plate in single/first pass, and of an initially curved plate in second/subsequent pass.
