    • Pull rollers: Plain, vacuum and unported 

      Cole, Kevin (Oklahoma State University, 2015-06)
      The role of a pull roller in a web machine is identified. The ability of pull rollers, plain or vacuum type, to permit tension differences is explained. Three types of pull rollers are described. Among them is the un-ported ...
    • Refining our rules of thumb 

      Lynch, Ronald (Oklahoma State University, 2015-06)
      Rules of thumb are common in web handling for good reasons. Many of the theories of web behavior are still under investigation and often are complex and a function of properties that are difficult to measure. Because of ...
    • Roll speed and web tension regulation using two degree of freedom control systems 

      Raul, Pramod R.; Pagilla, Prabhakar R. (Oklahoma State University, 2015-06)
      In this paper, we first consider the problem of load speed regulation in a two inertia system consisting of a motor shaft connected to the load shaft via a mechanical transmission. The problem is reminiscent of a material ...
    • Study on strip crossbow correction for uniform coating weight control 

      Jee, Changwoon (Oklahoma State University, 2015-06)
      In coating process of continuous galvanizing line, transverse crossbow is frequently found in the case of thick gage or high strength steel processing. This transverse crossbow arises due to the unbalanced residual stress ...
    • Thin tape traction over a grooved roller 

      Kasikci, Tugce; Muftu, Sinan (Oklahoma State University, 2015-06)
      Traction between a thin, O(5 μm), tensioned tape and a grooved roller is studied. In the slow tape speed limit, tape contact over a grooved roller is studied analytically. A closed form relationship for the belt-wrap formula ...
    • Tin-canning defects in thin film winding 

      Walker, Timothy J.; Cole, Kevin (Oklahoma State University, 2015-06)
    • Web instability at open draw and its impact on paper machine efficiency 

      Parent, Frederic (Oklahoma State University, 2015-06)
      Paper machine efficiency is mostly affected by machine down time, resulting from maintenance work and web breaks. One of the main factors affecting breaks is the web instability at open draws on paper machines, especially ...
    • Winding process calibration and comparison 

      Walker, Timothy J. (Oklahoma State University, 2015-06)
