Abstract

A simplified numerical approach based on the Finite Element Method (FEM) to compute the steady state temperature field and thermal stresses in a thermal roll of a calender machine is proposed. The temperature distributions of the working roll and thermal oil were investigated by fluid dynamics theory. With the acquired roll body temperature, the deformation and stress were calculated. This approach is suitable for fluid-structural and thermal stress problems and hence helpful for the design and improvement of such equipment.
