    • Guidelines for allowable in-plane roller misalignment using wrinkling and web break models 

      Roisum, D. R. (Oklahoma State University, 2013-06)
      While we have had wrinkling and web break models for a quarter century and the means for precision roller alignment for a half century, no consistent recommendations have been made as to allowable tolerances for roller ...
