SynopsisThe bending theory of continuous beam has been applied to the analysis of bulging in continuously cast slabs. A simple algorithm was formulated to transform a through-thickness distribution of creep strain in a shell into the shell curvature, and equations were given for the analysis model of continuous beam with multi-supports. Simulations have proved that the model satisfactorily predicts the variations of bulging profile with multi-roll arrangement and the transitional bulging including unsteady fluctuations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
