    • Traction in web handling: A review 

      Jones, D. P. (Oklahoma State University, 2001-06)
      In web processes, at least one moving machine component must drive the material through a friction force at the interface. This force, or traction, inevitably falls as speed increases, and is accompanied by a degree of ...
    • Web tension variations caused by temperature changes and slip on rollers 

      Jones, D. P.; McCann, M. J.; Abbott, S . J. (Oklahoma State University, 2011-06)
      Webs are frequently heated or cooled on rollers, where thermal expansion or contraction attempts to reduce or increase tension respectively. In the case of vacuum coating, the web first cools on the chilled drum, then is ...
    • Wrinkling of webs on rollers and drums 

      Jones, D. P.; McCann, M. J. (Oklahoma State University, 2005-06)
      Wrinkles are frequently observed in thin webs wrapping rollers, winding cores, and drums in vacuum coaters. They are the buckling response of the web to compressive deformation in the transverse direction (TD), which may ...
