In the shearing experiment, a load cell and a high speed camera were used for investigating the shearing load response and the deformation behavior of the worksheet. It was found that the mechanical parameters, i.e., the punch-die clearance and the feed velocity of the punch, affected the shearing load response, the cracks initiation behavior and the separation capability of the worksheet.
