Control of hot metal rolling process plays an important role in assuring high product quality and safe process operation. Although there have been many looper control technologies recently developed for finishing rolling processes, looperless interstand tension control of roughing and intermediate rolling mills remains a hard-to-solve problem. This paper proposes a current comparison based inte...

The purpose of the hot rolling mill is to make a preheated steel block thinner and longer, see Figure 1. This is done by pulling the plate through two parallel rolls mounted in the rolling mill. Due to the large forces obtained in hot rolling, the elastic de ection of the rolling mill is of the same order of magnitude as the plate thickness. Variations in the rolling force caused by variations ...

Background One or two decades ago, when computers resources were much lower, steady-state formulations have attracted considerable interest in the field of material forming simulation More precisely in the metal forming field, it was extensively applied for rolling processes. Early simulations were done for thick plates [1] and simple shape rolling [2]. They were extended to seamless tube rolli...

Materials with ultrafine-grained structure and unique physical and mechanical properties can be obtained by methods of severe plastic deformation, which include processes of asymmetric rolling (AR). Asymmetric rolling is a very effective way to create ultrafine-grained structures of metals and alloys. Since the asymmetric rolling is a continuous process, it has great potential for industrial pr...

In this paper, a mathematical model for symmetrical multi-layer sheet rolling, in which the layers are unbounded before rolling, by using the upper bound method and stream function theorem is proposed. Using this model, we can investigate the plastic deformation behavior of sheets at the roll gap during rolling. Effect of various rolling conditions such as initial and final thickness and flow s...

Endothelial surface expression of P-selectin and subsequent leukocyte rolling in venules can be induced by mast cell-derived histamine and binding of thrombin to protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR1). We hypothesized that activation of endothelial PAR2 by mast cell tryptase or other proteases also contributes to inflammatory responses. Leukocyte rolling flux and rolling velocity were assessed by...

austenite is a semi-stable phase in most stainless steels that deforms to martensite under md30 and forms martensitetype ά and ε due to the deformation in the steels. since the distribution of strain induced martensite plays animportant role in achieving desired properties, the main objective of the present work is to model martensitedistribution of ά during cold rolling using finite element me...

Rolling allows leukocytes to maintain adhesion to vascular endothelium and to molecularly coated surfaces in flow chambers. Using insights from adhesive dynamics, a computational method for simulating leukocyte rolling and firm adhesion, we have developed a semianalytic model for the steady-state rolling of a leukocyte. After formation in a force-free region of the contact zone, receptor-ligand...

were given in the Indian Medical Gazette, during 1868. Fuzzool, aged 60, Mussulman cultivator, admitted 6th December. About 30 years ago a small abscess formed under the arch of the left foot, it continued to discharge after being opened, and about a year after another absccss formed in the middle of the heel; gradually those abscesses extended to the malleoli and dorsum of the foot, dischargin...
