The shear strain of the interlayer in the elastic regime for a Steel-Polymer-Steel (SPS) laminate material has been studied during bending to a constant curvature. An analytical model is developed and the influence of process parameters are analyzed. The tension in the cover sheets is also determined and, finally, a moment diagram is calculated. The results show that the moment in the SPS laminate is nonuniform along the bent strip even though the curvature is constant because of the tension and compression forces introduced in the cover sheets by the shear reaction force of the interlayer material.
