Abstract

A three dimensional finite element-based computer simulator is presented for the analysis of the thermomechanical behaviors of rolls and strip during hot strip rolling. The simulator is capable of predicting the strip profiles in a 4 high mill stand, and in particular, can account for the effect of bender forces and pair cross angles. The structure of the simulator as well as various numerical schemes employed are described. The capability of the simulator is demonstrated through applications to some selected set of process conditions.
