Web longitudinal dynamics
Abstract
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. The basic equations involved will be reviewed. Examples will be presented, including an optimally robust stock roll controller and a balanced inertia float arm. These examples demonstrate the advances which can be accomplished through the application of mathematical modeling.
