    • Computation of span length variations due to out-of-round material rolls 

      Branca, C.; Pagilla, P. R.; Reid, K. N. (Oklahoma State University, 2009-06)
      It is well known that non-ideal elements such as out-of-round/eccentric material rolls affect web tension. However, the mechanism through which these non-ideal components induce tension oscillations was not clear previously. ...
    • Modeling and identification of the source of oscillations in web tension 

      Branca, C.; Pagilla, P. R.; Reid, K. N. (Oklahoma State University, 2009-06)
      Although there has been much work in dynamic modeling of different web handling elements and web longitudinal behavior, efforts to systematically validate models by experimentation on a web platform are non-existent. ...
    • Modeling of laminated webs 

      Pagilla, P. R.; Reid, K. N.; Newton, J. (Oklahoma State University, 2007-06)
      A dynamic model of the longitudinal behavior of a laminated web is developed. A single web model that takes into account both thermal and hygral strains is developed first from first principles; the model assumes heat ...
    • Non-interacting tension control in a multi-span web transport system 

      Shin, K. H.; Reid, K. N.; Kwon, S. O. (Oklahoma State University, 1995-06)
      A non-interacting tension control algorithm is proposed to reject the disturbance due to the interaction between neighboring processing sections. An 'auxiliary dynamic model' is derived. And an 'auxiliary controller' is ...
    • Web tension behavior in the presence of eccentric rollers: Modeling and validation 

      Branca, C.; Pagilla, P. R.; Reid, K. N. (Oklahoma State University, 2011-06)
      Since rotating machinery is used to transport the web on rollers, it is common to observe periodic oscillations in measured signals such as web tension and web transport speed. These periodic oscillations are more prevalent ...
