Lateral dynamics of non-uniform webs
Abstract
A new method of generating and testing cambered web has been developed. Experimental lateral static data is presented for twenty six different conditions and dynamic data is presented for five of these conditions. Numerous models have been proposed to describe the static and dynamic lateral behavior of non-uniform webs. Despite the plethora of theoretical hypotheses, debate continues about the direction, not to mention the magnitude, of lateral displacement of a cambered web. Previously presented models and data are discussed in light of these new experimental findings.
