Analysis of rolling of angles by energy method using finite element division.

In hot sheet rolling, the sheet rear end often snakes, contacts the inlet side guide, buckles, and goes into the roll gap, whereas the overlapped rear end of the sheet is squeezed. Although a number of researches on the simulation of the sheet snaking are reported, no researches have been performed to simulate both the sheet snaking and the sheet buckling. In this study, a combined method to simulate the sheet snaking by the rigid-plastic FEM and to analyze the sheet buckling by the elementary theory of buckling was proposed. First, the method in which the in-plane lateral load and the in-plane bending moment were assumed at the surface of the simulation region by the rigid-plastic FEM was proposed. Next, the amount of snaking at the sheet rear end simulated by the rigid-plastic FEM agreed with that analyzed by the elementary theory of rolling. Finally, the effects of rolling conditions on the occurrence of squeezing, such as the difference in the sheet thickness in the direction of the roll axis, the difference in the roll gap in the direction of the roll axis, and the amount of the sheet off-center, were clarified.

In hot sheet rolling, the sheet end often snakes, contacts the side guide, buckles, and goes into the roll gap, while the overlapped sheet end is squeezed. Although many simulations on sheet snaking are reported, very few researches have been performed to simulate both the sheet snaking and sheet buckling. In this study, we proposed a combined method to simultaneously simulate the sheet snaking through the rigid-plastic FEM and to analyze the sheet buckling by the elementary theory of buckling. The in-plane lateral load and the in-plane bending moment were assumed at the surface of the region for the simulation by the rigid-plastic FEM. The amount of snaking at the sheet end simulated by the rigid-plastic FEM agreed with that calculated from the analysis by the elementary theory. Finally, we clarified the effects of rolling conditions on the occurrence of squeezing, such as the difference in the sheet thickness in the roll axis direction, the difference in the roll gap in the roll axis direction, and the amount of the off-center.
