Rolling With Simplified Stream Function Velocity and Strain Rate Vector Inner Product

Abstract

The dual-stream function velocity field is reduced in order to analyze two-dimensional plate broadside rolling in roughing. The strain rate vector inner product and integral mean value theorem, as well as co-line vector inner product are used respectively in plastic deformation power, friction losses and shear power. A theoretical solution of roll torque and separating force for the rolling is obtained and the calculated results by the solution are compared with those measured in broadside rolling on-line. It shows that both the force and torque calculated are higher than those of measured, but the maximum relative error between them is no more than 11%
