    • Simple model to predict web-to-roller traction 

      Rice, B. S.; Gans, R. F. (Oklahoma State University, 2003-06)
      We have studied the traction developed between a thin, flexible web and a rotating cylindrical roller. We present a new analytic model for high-wrap, circumferentially grooved rollers that couples air film pressure, web ...

    • Two-dimensional model to predict web-to-roller traction at small wrap angles 

      Rice, B. S.; Gans, R. F. (Oklahoma State University, 2003-06)
      We have studied the traction developed between a thin, flexible web and a rotating circumferentially grooved cylindrical roller. The traction model developed by Rice and Gans [1] is inadequate for small wrap angles, because ...
