Abstract
The shape rolling processes for an I-section beam are simulated by the simplified three-dimensional finite element method and experimented with a model material. Computer simulation results of the four passes in I-section beam rolling include the grid distortions, the cross-sectional area changes, the roll separating forces, and the roll torques. Experiments with plasticine as a model material are performed on the experimental two-high rolling mill. The experimental and the numerical results showed good agreements in the flow pattern and the strain distributions. It is shown that optimally designing the roll pass schedule for I-section beam rolling is possible.
