I would like to design a rolled roof-gutter;which has a specific shape.My problem is I don't have a background on the theory under the topic of "pressing and rolling "which will help me to quantify the forces in rolling my gutter.I will still have to estimate the power of a rolling machine to form that gutter.
Please help.
