      Markum, Ron E.; Good, J. K. (Oklahoma State University, 2019-06)
      For those concerned with roll quality it is difficult to suppress the urge to compress the outer surface of a wound roll with your thumb to sense how tightly the roll was wound and how large the internal pressures might ...
    • Connection between longitudinal and lateral web dynamics 

      Brown, Jerald L. (Oklahoma State University, 2019-06)

    • Exploring the strain transport formula 

      Lynch, Ron (Oklahoma State University, 2019-06)
      The strain transport formula relates the velocity of a moving web to its strain. It is based on the conservation of mass which, when applied to webs, becomes the conservation of relaxed length. Simply stated it says, the ...
    • Mechanics of cambered web belts on aligned rollers 

      Shi, Jinxin; Smith, J.; Markum, Ron E.; Good, J. K. (Oklahoma State University, 2019-06)
      The lateral deformations of webs in roll-to-roll (R2R) process machines can affect the quality of the manufacturing process. Webs can enter a cylindrical roller normally if the forces required to sustain normal entry and ...
    • Modeling slip between a web and a roller 

      Reish, Benjamin D.; Reid, Karl N. (Oklahoma State University, 2019-06)
      In roll-to-roll processes, slip between a web and a roller may be considered a defect. Slip can cause scratches which can be detrimental to a product, if not catastrophic. As line speeds increase to meet demands for more ...
    • New governing equation for web tension by employing a Neo-Hookean material model 

      Gomez-Constante, A. R.; Pagilla, Prabhakar R.; Rajagopal, K. R. (Oklahoma State University, 2019-06)
      In this work, we derive a governing equation for web tension in a span by employing a Neo-Hookean material model that is applicable for transport of web materials under both small and large strains. This governing equation ...
    • Parametric study of nip load control on a pope reel 

      Bettendorf, Robert (Oklahoma State University, 2019-06)
      The secondary arms on a conventional pope reel control the nip load between the winding parent roll and the reel drum. As the parent roll grows, the secondary arms pivot away from the reel drum changing the angle of contact ...
    • Photonic curing for enhancing the performance of roll-to-roll printed electronic devices 

      Maskey, Bijendra Bishow; Koirala, Gyan Raj; Kim, Yushin; Park, Hyejin; Yadav, Pravesh; Park, Jinhwa; Sun, Junfeng; Cho, Gyoujin (Oklahoma State University, 2019-06)
      The advent in printing technology promotes the possibility of roll-to-roll manufacturing process for low-cost, high throughput, and large area printing of the electronic devices in flexible substrate materials. However, ...
    • Predicting the web length and layers in a wound roll 

      Gajjalla, A.; Markum, Ron E.; Good, J. K. (Oklahoma State University, 2019-06)
      The length of web in a wound roll is one mark of roll quality. The available web length in a roll is a concern for many who process webs and those who convert webs. There are algorithms that estimate the length of web and ...
    • Real time data analytics as applied to web-to-roller traction in manufacturing 

      Cole, Kevin A.; Hopkins, R. W.; Hotto, N. A.; Scheible, J. J.; Schneider, Brooks J.; White, Thomas J. (Oklahoma State University, 2019-06)
      Avoidance of web handling-related imperfections is often a challenge. As an example, the limit of web-to-roller traction is typically not detected until it is exceeded, resulting in product damage. Detection is often made ...
    • Roll variability analysis for non-statisticians 

      Thuer, Amy; Dennison, Avery (Oklahoma State University, 2019-06)
      Roll variability can be characterized by several different methods. Off line cross-direction (CD) scans of thickness or coat weight give a snapshot of CD variation over a small machine-direction (MD) range. Roll hardness ...
    • Roll-to-roll gravure printed smart food package to replace the "use-by" date system of foods
