    • Variable-gain control of longitudinal tension in a web transport system 

      Reid, K. N.; Shin, K. H. (Oklahoma State University, 1991-05)
      Fixed-gain and variable-gain PID control of longitudinal tension in the winding section of a simple web transport system were evaluated. An open-loop mathematical model for the web transport system was derived and used for ...

    • Variation of the web tension at the roll change in the printing press 

      Linna, H.; Moilanen, P.; Mahonen, A.; Parola, M. (Oklahoma State University, 1995-06)
      Rapid changes of the web tension take place at the roll change in the printing press. Variations in the machine direction depend on the tension control system and variation in the cross direction is strongly affected by ...

    • Vibration and stability of axially moving webs coupled to surrounding air 

      Vaughan, M. D.; Raman, A. (Oklahoma State University, 2003-06)
      High-speed web flutter is of significant importance in a variety of paper, plastics, textiles, and sheet metal industries. The natural frequencies of vibration and the onset of flutter in thin, wide, high-speed webs are ...

    • Vibration of two axially translating media interconnected by Winkler elastic foundation 

      Gaith, M.; Muftu, S. (Oklahoma State University, 2007-06)
      Transverse vibrations of two translating strings interconnected by a Winkler elastic foundation, and subjected to axial loading are investigated. The natural frequencies are composed of two infinite sets, representing ...

    • Viscoelastic web curl due to storage in wound rolls 

      Pan, S.; Azoug, Aurelie; Good, J. K. (Oklahoma State University, 2019-06)
      While bending strains result from any web being wound at a radius of curvature into a roll, these bending strains are largest for the thicker homogeneous webs and laminates. Many webs are viscoelastic on some time scale ...

    • Web bagginess: Making, measurement and mitigation thereof 

      Roisum, D. R. (Oklahoma State University, 2001-06)
      Web bagginess is a defect so tenacious that few machines will totally escape its grip. It is so pervasive that it can be found on materials as diverse as tissue, writing paper, carpet, nonwovens, plastic film and steel. ...

    • Web flutter at circular-tube air-turn bars 

      Moretti, P. M.; Chang, Y. B. (Oklahoma State University, 1997-06)
      Circular tubes having air-emitting holes are often used for non-contact handling of photographic and magnetic media and for printed paper webs. One of the problems of circular-tube air-turn bars is their tendency to cause ...

    • Web handling for flexible display manufacture 

      Walton, R. L. (Oklahoma State University, 2005-06)
      Flexible displays manufactured in a continuous roll-to-roll fashion are the "Holy Grail" of the display industry. This paper offers an assessment of the development efforts related to web handling, which are required to ...

    • Web handling technologies, past, present and future 

      Swanson, R. P. (Oklahoma State University, 2001-06)
      This paper gives a brief description of the evolution of technical knowledge. The evolution of beam theory is given as an example from the field of strength of materials. Technical knowledge starts with information gained ...

    • 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 ...

    • Web lateral dynamics with buckling in sheet metal rolling 

      Tarnopolskaya, T.; Yuen, W. Y. D.; Gates, D.; deHoog, F. R. (Oklahoma State University, 2005-06)
      The stability of web lateral motion is of importance in many engineering applications where the deviation of the web from the processing direction is highly undesirable and can cause various defects. This is especially ...

    • Web length creep in wound rolls 

      Mollamahmutoglu, C.; Gajjalla, A.; Markum, Ron E.; Azoug, Aurelie; Good, J. K. (Oklahoma State University, 2019-06)
      For convenience, webs are stored in wound rolls. The available web length in a wound roll is one mark of roll quality and a concern for many who process and convert webs. Elastic winding models have proven very precise at ...

    • Web line resonant frequencies 

      Pagilla, P. R.; Diao, Y. (Oklahoma State University, 2009-06)
      The goal of this paper is to investigate the resonant frequencies of a system of idle rollers and web spans. Of particular interest is the determination of the minimum resonant frequency as a function of the number of idle ...

    • Web longitudinal dynamics 

      Walton, B.; Rice, B. S. (Oklahoma State University, 1997-06)
      Tension transients in a moving web can be described and predicted adequately from first principles. The resulting mathematical models are very useful for designing and debugging web conveyance machines and their controls. ...

    • Web sag and the effect of camber on steering 

      Jones, Dilwyn P. (Oklahoma State University, 2007-06)
      A web in a horizontal span will deflect downwards due to gravity. This sag is more pronounced for heavy materials in long spans under low tension. It is possible for a web whose unstretched length is greater than the span ...

    • Web tension and wrinkles in the printing press 

      Linna, Hannu; Moilanen, Pertti; Parola, Markku (Oklahoma State University, 1993-06)
      In a modem paper mill the web handling in every process stage is optimized to fulfill productivity demands. The same kind of demands also exist in the printing plants. Smooth production without runnability disturbances 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 ...
