Within this paper the initial tests on L and U-shaped parts will be presented. Being the mechanical stiffness the main paramerter for improving the coil ebdurance, the prediction of the coil strains under EM forces is a basic issue, which has been addressed within this study. %@ 0148-7191 %K Springback %K Electromagnetic forming doi 10.4271/2009-01-0803 %U http://hdl.handle.net/11556/394 %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
