Funded Activity Summary

Mechanics of Thin Strip Steering in Hot Rolling. The main aim of this project is to model the strip steering in hot rolling. The innovation of the project is the application of a meshless finite element method (FEM) to simulate the snaking of strip at high rolling speed between rolling mill stands, which has not been applied for this problem. The expected outcome is a comprehensive simulation model that can predict accurately the strip shape and the snaking of strip,identify the parameters that cause snaking and to validate the effectiveness of the numerical model utilising the experimental rolling mills at UoW and NEU.
