Japanese term or phrase: 波山
帯状鋼板を螺旋状に巻付けたときに内外径差による鋼板の撓みを吸収する 波山 を形成するプレス機構

In the drawing, the term in question looks like 3 lines through the thickness of the steel plate when the plate is wound into a spiral.

English translation:(with) edge waves
Explanation:
When steel strips are cold pressed (an initial/intermediate stage of the rolling process) for consistent thickness, the only way thickness irregularities of the material can express themselves out of the strip is 'squirted out' of the rollers' pressure, at the edges of the strip, thus making its linear profiles on either/both sides...irregular or 'wavy', but soon trimmed off 'straight' as part of the same process

Oops! Correction: no way those edge waves appear squirted out of the rollers' pressure (that would be very sloppy processing, and could actually trigger an emergency stop of the rolling line). They can very well appear within the rollers' span, just like a rolled slab of dough, on the kitchen bench.

The pdf was very helpful. In the end though I went with a "curvature absorbing section" since the drawing did not show the actual wavy edges very well. Thanks

"waves and peaks" shape


Explanation:
A bit of a guess here to be honest, but having looked at the drawing, the term seems to refer to the shape of element 14 rather than an actual parts name.

Asker: Thank you for your advice on this. I decided to describe the function of the part 14 which is stated in the next sentence in the specification.
