Improved model to solve influence coefficients of work roll deflection

Abstract

According to the concept of virtual bending force, a rational explanation for SHOHET’s model was presented. Considering the deformation characters of the work rolls in four-high mill, the deformation model of the work roll was regarded as a cantilever beam and new influence coefficients were deduced. The effect of the bending force was taken into account independently. Therefore, the contribution to work roll deflection caused by rolling load, rolling pressure between rolls and bending force can be got from the new formulas. To validate the accuracy of the formulas, the results obtained from the new formulas were compared with those from SHOHET’s formulas. It is found that they highly coincide, which illustrates that the formulas are reliable.
