Objective The aim of the project is to investigate fundamental and practical aspects of a full aperture, non-circular, steel, easy-open end in order to determine consumer-friendly opening characteristics and thus improve the position of steel in this specific market segment. The above-mentioned work will be carried out using fundamental finite element work. The computer model allows parameter studies, which will determine an optimum full-aperture, non-circular end. The optimum (computer-determined) end will then be tested in practice, in co- operation with a toolmaker.
