Optimum Feedback Controller Design for Tandem Cold Metal Rolling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Controlling the tandem cold rolling of metal strip is a significant challenge to the control engineer. This is due mostly to complex interactions between the process variables, nonlinearities that change with process conditions, and long speed-dependent time delays. The present technology is limited in its capability for improvement in performance. This paper describes a new control strategy that is based on solving a state-dependent algebraic Riccati equation pointwise to establish a control law for a MIMO controller that is augmented by appropriate trimming functions. Simulation testing showed that the tolerance in mill exit thickness compares favorably to the tolerances using existing techniques.

متن کاملControl of a Continuous Tandem Cold Metal Rolling Process
The continuous tandem cold rolling of metal strip is a highly nonlinear multi-variable complex process the control of which presents additional challenges over those encountered in the control of stand-alone tandem cold rolling. These challenges arise during the passage of the weld, which joins the head of the next strip to the tail of the present strip to maintain the continuity of rolling. Th...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Predictive Finite Element Model For Investigation of Phases Behavior After Cold Rolling Process
One of the surface defects that arise in sheet metal working is when the part removes from the die. Since there are no external forces to make this defect, the origin of such fail is known as residual stress. Residual stress can develop in sheet metal forming due to non uniform deformation. In this paper, the workpiece is carbon steel with different volume fractions and arrangement of ferrite ...
