Metal forming processes operate in conditions of uncertainty due to parameter variation and
imperfect understanding. This uncertainty leads to a degradation of product properties from …

Flatness deviations in the tandem cold-rolling process of steel strips have a direct impact on
product quality and shape, leading to strip breakage, reduced working speed, and …

Geometric dissimilarity between the thickness profile of the entry strip and the deformed roll
gap is the main cause of flatness defects. However, the combination of the crown ratio and …

Throughout the last two decades, the flat-steel production industry has experienced great
success with the introduction of new technologies and manufacturing advances for both hot …

In rolling of wide strip, longitudinal compressive stresses develop as a result of nonuniform
deformation along the plate width, which enhance long-shape wave. Theoretical …

Beams on elastic foundations are applied to a vast number of engineering problems.
Several elastic foundation models are available, from the simplest Winkler element with one …

Chatter is a major problem that restricts production efficiency and product quality in the cold
rolling process at high speed. Although many research studies have focused on relating …

The advanced SmartCrown technology, one of the Variable Crown by Axial Shifting (VCAS)
technologies, can significantly enhance the cross-directional control capability of strip mill …

The dynamic characteristics in a rolling process have been investigated with various
methods, but a mathematical model to predict actual chatter vibration has not been …

The crown is a key quality index of strip. Usually, the online strip crown prediction model is
established based on the analytical model for high efficiency. However, the calculation …
