A combined experimental and computational test program, with two low-pressure ratio aero-
engine fans, has been used to identify the flow mechanisms at stall inception and the …

A new feedforward control approach for the thickness profile of the strip in a tandem hot
rolling mill is developed. In industry, the automatic gauge control (AGC) concept is widely …

In the present study, dynamic characteristics of gear-roller-bearing system is investigated by
use of experimental test and theoretical modeling. In terms of experiment, a new test set-up …

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 …

In some special rolling technologies, a key issue of the material processing is the roll motion
along the vertical direction, since it is directly linked to stability of the whole system, and …

The most common and well proven control strategy for thickness control in industrial rolling
mills is the automatic gauge controller (AGC). However, it is still unclear how to use AGC for …

In flat rolling, the lateral position of the product in the rolling mill and the camber (curvature of
the product centerline seen in top view) are key process variables. We explore how their …

In this work, the finite-element method (FEM) is used to develop the governing equation of
motion of the working roll of a four-high rolling mill and to study its vibration due to different …

In tandem hot strip rolling mills, the roll speed of the mill stands is synchronized to ensure a
uniform mass flow. A uniform mass flow is desirable to keep the strip tension constant and …

Introduced is a new physics-based three-dimensional (3D) mathematical model capable of
efficiently predicting time histories of the nonlinear structural dynamics in cold rolling mills …
