Roll – forming is through the allocation of roll the sheets for multiple successive of transverse bending deformation process of the section, to form a specific shape with high energy efficiency, uniform cross section, stable product quality, etc. Since the 19th century began to study the roll-forming process, successively completed the exploration of this kind of technology and promotion from 1938 to 1938.It has entered the rapid development of roll-forming technology at present. Began to roll-forming technology research relatively late in our country, but the trend of development of fast, such as the construction industry, automotive industry, white home appliance industry has been widely used, to specific parts such as highway anti-collision WeiDang, auto parts anticollision beam beams, before and after the threshold of the anticollision beam and a side door production, etc. Roll-forming technology belongs to the nonlinear problem of large plastic deformation, the forming theory of the present domestic scholars have researched, forming a simplified analytical method, energy analysis method, cable original research method and finite element method theory. With the development of computer aided design technology, through the computer simulation of sheet deformation and regional stress analysis, and makes the product design cycle is shortened, the product design quality was improved. At home and abroad, roll-forming equipment have developed highly efficient, the formation of the uncoiled stamping - roll-forming - welding - material such as plastic - cut – code craft route, eventually forming the results approach to the product shape, implementation process highly integrated production mode, cold-formed molding equipment of high automation intelligent design, help to realize planning of ‘Made in China 2025 strategy’ in the industry of roll-forming.

A jack-up rig or a self-elevating unit is a type of mobile platform that consists of a buoyant hull fitted with a number of movable legs, capable of raising its hull over the surface of the sea. The buoyant hull enables transportation of the unit and all attached machinery to a desired location. Once on location the hull is raised to the required elevation above the sea surface on its legs supported by the sea bed. The legs of such units may be designed to penetrate the sea bed, may be fitted with enlarged sections or footings, or may be attached to a bottom mat. Generally Jack up rigs are not self-propelled and rely on tugs or heavy lift shipsfor transportation. Formability problems in offshore structure construction where particularly high-strength steels are used for chords and racks. Attainment of mechanical properties is not usually difficult, although procedural trials are advisable. Fatigue cracking is probably the major cause of service failure of jack-up rigs, and the use of high-strength steels, which permits higher static stress limits, can exacerbate this problem. Roll forming process is one of the most widely used processes in the world for forming metals. It can manufacture goods of the uniform cross section throughout the continuous processing. However, process analysis is very difficult because of the inherent complexity. Therefore, it is time-consuming and much money is needed for manufacturing goods. In order to overcome this difficulty, a new computational method based on the rigid-plastic finite element method is developed for the analysis of roll forming process.

The traditional LD type electric single-girder crane beam is made from several U type grooves by welding them together. For many years, U type groove is usually made from 5mm or 6mm steel plate which is stamped and formed by rolling machine. Through analysis of the problems and the disadvantages about the traditional producing process of LD type electric single-girder crane girder, put forward the improvement of cold roll forming process. The process has no welding seam, and allows a girder manufacture to achieve higher quality and efficiency, and has low consumption, low pollution.

The roll forming is one of the simplest manufacturing processes for meeting the continued needs of various industries. The roll forming is increasingly used in the automotive industry to form High Strength Steel (HSS) and Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS) for making structural components. In order to reduce the thinning of the sheet product, traditionally the roll forming has been suggested instead of the stamping process. The increased product performance, higher quality, and the lowest cost with other advantages have made roll forming processes suitable to form any shapes in the sheets. In this numerical study, a Finite Element Method is applied to estimate the stress, strain and the thickness distribution in the metal sheet with quadrilateral shape, ribs formed by the 11 steps roll forming processes using a validated model. The metal sheet of size 1,000 × 662 × 1.6 mm taken from SGHS steel was used to form the quadrilateral shape ribs on it by the roll forming process. The simulation results of the 11 step roll forming show that the stress distribution was almost uniform and the strain distribution was concentrated on the ribs. The maximum thinning strain was observed in the order of 15.5 % in the middle rib region possibly due to the least degree of freedom of the material.
