    • Bagginess and baggy streaks: A novel measurement technique to quantify tension profile of a web in cross-direction at high resolution 

      Parent, F.; Hamel, J. (Oklahoma State University, 2011-06)
      A tension beam was designed to quantify cross-directional tension profile of a moving web at high resolution and high accuracy. The beam, composed of 50 individual Teflon pads resting on load cells, allows the measurement ...
    • Behavior of a flexible web in contact with a roller 

      Jones, Dilwyn P. (Oklahoma State University, 2013-06)
      In the contact patch between a web and a roller, there may be regions of stick and microslip or full slip. Within the stick zone, the velocities of web and roller surface match, but in the microslip zone they differ by a ...
    • Behavior of a thin flexible twisted web 

      Brown, Jerry L. (Oklahoma State University, 2007-06)
      In an earlier IWEB paper, "A New Method for Analyzing the Deformation and Lateral Translation of a Moving Web" [5], a nonlinear PDE model, suitable for use with low-cost FEA software, was developed. That work considered ...
    • Behavior of webs transiting crowned rollers 

      Vaijapurkar, S.; Beisel, J. A.; Good, J. K. (Oklahoma State University, 2013-06)
      Crowned rollers are known to center running belts by observation. Crown can be an unintentional artifact of rollers whose surfaces are machined on lathes while supported at their ends. The bending stiffness of the rotating ...
    • Belated appreciation of Lisa Sievers' thesis 

      Brown, Jerry L. (Oklahoma State University, 2015-06)
      In her 1987 thesis [1] and a follow-up paper in the IEEE Transactions of Automatic Control [2], Lisa Sievers described three dynamic multi-span models for lateral web behavior.
    • Bobbin stresses generated by wire winding 

      Metzinger, Kurt; Attaway, Steve; Mello, Frank (Oklahoma State University, 1991-05)
      The prediction of bobbin stresses generated by wire winding is now possible by combining a finite element structural code and a rigid body motion code. In this combination of computer codes, the bobbin and the individual ...
    • BOPP film trends; Some technology implications 

      Howard, J. (Oklahoma State University, 2001-06)
      Biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) is an extremely versatile film that has demonstrated enormous growth in commercial usage over the approximately 40 years since its first introduction. A combination of material, web ...
    • Boundary conditions for lateral deformation of webs transiting rollers in roll-to-roll process machines 

      Good, J. K.; Ren, Yao; Shi, Jinxin (Oklahoma State University, 2017-06)
      The lateral deformations of webs in roll-to-roll (R2R) process machines can affect the quality of the manufacturing process. The lateral registration of the web in successive R2R processes can determine whether a product ...
    • Buckling of orthotropic webs in process machinery 

      Good, J. K.; Beisel, J. A. (Oklahoma State University, 2003-06)
      Many webs in web process machinery exhibit out-of-plane deformations, defined as troughs, in free web spans between rollers. In other cases when the troughs become severe the out-of-plane web deformations will begin to ...
    • Buckling of webs from lateral compressive forces 

      Shelton, J. J. (Oklahoma State University, 1993-06)
      Lateral compressive buckling of a web is often evident in troughs along a tensioned span and in corrugations in a wound roll or in the web wrapping a roller.
    • Calculating coilset based on curvature of a web 

      Comeau, R. (Oklahoma State University, 2003-06)
      A web which has passed over a roll can exhibit coilset due to differential yielding of fibers through its thickness. Modeling can provide a radius of curvature, R, the web would achieve if no external forces were applied. ...
    • Calculation of film tension from film position and roller position 

      Oedl, Gunter (Oklahoma State University, 2017-06)
      The web tension as a crucial parameter for a web line is normally manually influenced by the speed of the motors driving the rollers. This paper shows that is better and easier to use the roller position derived from the ...
    • Cause and effects of tension in a draw-controlled web process line 

      Shelton, John J. (Oklahoma State University, 1991-05)
      There is a common belief, supported by several technical papers and bulletins, that the tension in a web increases with velocity by the addition of the term mV^2 to the tension in a stationary web. This concept of a tension ...
    • Century of web handling literature 

      Roisum, D. R. (Oklahoma State University, 2011-06)
      This paper is a review of some 3,500 published works in the areas of web handling, winding, converting and related subjects. These individual works include articles, books, columns, conference papers, instruction manuals, ...
    • Challenges and opportunities in flat panel industry 

      Fuchigami, S. (Oklahoma State University, 2005-06)
      The Flexible Panel Display (FPD) business is rapidly growing in Asia. Many industrial companies not only from traditional coating industries but from others such as electronics, printing, and film manufacturing industries, ...
    • Changes in web tension profiles and paper properties during repeated rewinding 

      Eriksson, L. G.; Hellentin, P.; Johnson, P. (Oklahoma State University, 1993-06)
      Newsprint rolls with a diameter of about 125 cm have been run six times through a rewinder. The changes in the CD web tension profile have been recorded during the rewindings. The roll hardness has been measured before and ...
    • Characterization of a slit edge using image analysis 

      Viswanathan, H.; Lu, H. (Oklahoma State University, 2003-06)
      The paper deals with the characterization of edge quality of a slit web. The conventional way of determining the edge quality of a slit web is usually through visual inspection, sometimes under an optical microscope. In ...
    • Closed solid-state-fluid mechanical model for calculating the transferable torque on wrapped rolls 

      Schuler, D.; Welp, E. G.; Kopp, O. (Oklahoma State University, 1999-06)
      Higher velocities of webs at the same or reduced web tension require basic improvement of the existing machine technique. Concerning the transferable torque between a web and a roll common work is restricted either to the ...
    • Combined stresses for webs going over rollers 

      Roisum, David R. (Oklahoma State University, 2015-06)
      In research it is typical that only one source of stresses is studied at a time. In entry-level mechanics textbooks, you may see the occasional combined stresses taught where a couple of sources are superposed. Yet, seldom ...
