The radial cold rolling process is widely used in industry due to the advantages of chip removing processing. In this study, circular complex profiles were formed by cold-rolling with radial feed, using a patented device with two roller-tools. By achieving several numerical simulations of the radial rolling process, the study aimed to establish the influence that the maximum set force and the diameter of the workpiece have on the productivity of the process and the quality of the formed trapezoidal and metric grooves. The numerical simulations were performed with ABAQUS/Explicit software and by using a previously validated finite element model. The penetration curve of the roller-tools in the material was introduced in the simulation as an analytical function and was determined based on experimental researches. To express the dependency of the penetration curve coefficients on other rolling conditions, a multivariable analysis using a design of experiments technique was performed. The parameters that result from numerical simulations and were analyzed in this study are the profile forming time, the maximum radial force, the distribution of the equivalent strains in the axial section of the profiles, and the profile dimensions. The conclusions that were drawn from the analysis of the results regarding the influence of the set maximum force and the workpiece diameter on the analyzed parameters of the numerical simulations, together with the definition of efficient process criteria, allowed also the identification of the optimal conditions of the rolling process.

Cold rolled thin strip has received a great deal of attention through technological and theoretical progress in the rolling process, as well as from researchers who have focused on some essential parameters of strip such as its shape and profile. This paper describes the development of a 3-D finite element model of the shape of thin strip during cold rolling to simulate the cold rolling of WCS (work roll crossing and shifting) in asymmetric rolling. This finite element model considers the asymmetrical rolling parameters such as variations in the diameters of the rolls and the crossing angle as the work roll shifts on the strip during cold rolling. The shape and profile of the strip are discussed in the asymmetrical and symmetrical rolling conditions, while the total rolling force and distribution of stress are discussed in the case where the roll cross angle and axial shifting roll changes. The results can then be used to control the shape and profile of thin strip during rolling.

Abstract Through taking the cold rolling process as the research object, the three-dimensional finite element model of the strip rolling process is established by using ANSYS/LS-DYNA software. The simulation results of the finite element model have a good fit with the actual production data. The rolling process is dynamically simulated, and the distribution curves of important rolling parameters such as equivalent stress, control efficiency coefficient, transverse rolling pressure, lateral thickness and work roll deflection is obtained. The research results of this paper have strong practicability for the process control of cold strip rolling mill. The research results have certain guiding significance for the development and optimization of the rolling control system.

The objectives of this publication are the analysis of surfaces and edges of a new geometric spiroid hob with arched profile in axial section and the definition of their equations for computer modelling. On the basis of this we will work out the CAD model of hob for our further geometric calculations.

Abstract The effects of variations in stiffness and geometry on the nonuniformity of tires are investigated by using the finite element analysis. In order to evaluate tire uniformity, a three-dimensional finite element model of the tire with imperfections is developed. This paper considers how imperfections, such as variations in stiffness or geometry and run-out, contribute to detrimental effects on tire nonuniformity. It is found that the radial force variation of a tire with imperfections depends strongly on the geometrical variations of the tire.
