    • Analysis of trough formation and lateral steering of a web due to a tapered downstream roller 

      Beisel, J. A.; Good, J. K. (Oklahoma State University, 2005-06)
      Cylindrical rollers are never perfectly cylindrical. A common defect of a cylindrical roller is radial taper. A roller with a radial taper will induce a lateral shear force into the web. This shear force will cause a ...
    • 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 ...
    • Predicting web wrinkles on rollers 

      Good, J. K.; Beisel, J. A.; Yurtcu, H. (Oklahoma State University, 2009-06)
      There are two levels of web instability in web lines. The first level of web instability is called web troughs. Web troughs are due to the instability of webs that occur in free web spans. Web troughs have been shown to ...
