Question

This should include a pictorial view of the device (Millipede Forming) and a factual and succinct description for each function describing how that function is performed and the key aspects of the design. The supporting working sheets must be referenced so that they can easily be referred to as necessary. This will require the working sheets to have a referencing and numbering system.

Millipede forming   
Millipede forming is a typical metal sheet forming method. The two aspects which are taken 
into consideration while this method is being used is the implementation of a method to feed 
the strip through the transition surface and use of an optical transitional surface. The 
transitional surface is developed and implemented with the help of various theories by Ding 
and Duncan (2009) and analyzed with the help of different numerical methods like Arbitary 
Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) method (Boman et al. 2006), finite strip method (Han et al. 
2005), roll forming FEA by Jiang et al. (2009).
