there is a complicated relation between cold flat rolling parameters such as effective input parameters of cold rolling, output cold rolling force and exit thickness of strips. in many mathematical models, the effect of some cold rolling parameters has been ignored and the outputs have not a desirable accuracy. in the other hand, there is a special relation among input thickness of strips, the ...

Reconfigurable modular robots have the ability to use different gaits and configurations to perform various tasks. A rolling gait is the fastest currently implemented gait available for traversal over level ground and shows dramatic improvements in efficiency. In this work, we analyze and implement a sensor-based feedback controller to achieve dynamic rolling for a loop robot. The robot senses ...

Multibody dynamics of healthy and faulty rolling element bearings were modeled using vector bond graphs. A 33 degree of freedom (DOF) model was constructed for a bearing with nine balls and two rings (11 elements). The developed model can be extended to a rolling element bearing with n elements and 3 n DOF in planar and 6 n DOF in three dimensional motions. The model incorporates the gyroscopic...

Inorganic nanoparticles of layered [two-dimensional (2D)] compounds with hollow polyhedral structure, known as fullerene-like nanoparticles (IF), were found to have excellent lubricating properties. This behavior can be explained by superposition of three main mechanisms: rolling, sliding, and exfoliation-material transfer (third body). In order to elucidate the tribological mechanism of indivi...

the forging model for cold rolling is one of rolling models that is used in rolling calculations. in this model,the final rolling pressure is an average value and it is not an accurate model.also by using this model,the firction hill curves are plotted due to the central point of the rolling bite length while frictional stresses intersect at the neutral point.in this study, a new model based on...

strip tearing during cold rolling process has always been considered among the main concerns for steel companies. several works have been done so far regarding the examination of the issue. in this paper, experimental data from cold rolling tandem mill is used for detecting strip tearing. sensors are placed across the cold rolling tandem mill. they receive information on parameters (such as ang...

This paper describes three haptic devices which can create the experience of haptic shape, each at a different scale. They operate by causing fingertip deformations that match the scale of the features of the objects being virtually touched. For large objects, shape display is obtained by the movement of the deformed contact area on the skin, for medium objects, display is given by the deformat...

This paper presents a feedforward control concept for lateral asymmetries in heavyplate hot rolling. A lateral off-center plate position generally entails asymmetric rolling forces, asymmetric mill stretch, and thus a wedge-shaped exit thickness that may cause a cambered plate contour and a rotatory motion of the plate. In this paper, a model of the mill stand and of the plate movement is prese...

This paper deals with the reduction of top view contour errors in the hot rolling process. Deviations between the actual plate contour and the desired shape may result from asymmetric rolling conditions caused by, e.g., temperature gradients or non-homogeneous input thickness profiles. Under real rolling conditions these disturbances are hard to predict and hence cannot be compensated in a feed...
