At publication, The Control Handbook immediately became the definitive resource that
engineers working with modern control systems required. Among its many accolades, that …

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 …

The properties of paper are highly dependent on those of the natural fibres from which the
sheet is made and their interaction, as determined by the structure of the sheet. The nature …

Control technology permeates every aspect of our lives. We rely on them to perform a wide
variety of tasks without giving much thought to the origins of the technology or how it became …

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 …

The purpose of this paper is to provide a summary of the current state of the application of
process systems engineering tools in the pharmaceutical industry. In this paper, we present …

As the basis for a flatness control system, flatness actuator efficiency describes an actuator's
control ability, but it is difficult to obtain an actuator efficiency factor accurately through rolling …

In cold rolling of strip, flatness defects typically appear in strip when subjected to
heterogeneous thickness reductions across the width of strip. As crown and flatness are …

For the problem of automatic flatness control (AFC) in cold tandem mills this paper proposes
control techniques based on quadratic optimization and delay compensation. Three different …

The automatic flatness control system applied to cold multi-roll mills for the production of
metal strips has been subject of research efforts in many directions since the last 30 years …
