Thick pipes have been used in fields of ocean and industrial plants, and pipe arrangement of oil and water pipelines. Mostly, roll bending process has been used in manufacture of the pipes. Recently, however, studies on the pipe forming processes using brake press have been performed. Normally, the brake press has high aspect ratio, so structural integrity evaluation should be conducted. In this study, finite element analysis of structural integrity for the brake bending press was carried out for thick pipe forming process.
