Nonlinear Modelling, Analysis And Prediction Of Optimal Conditions For Cold Roll Forming (2005-2009)
Abstract
This project investigates fundamental analytical and experimental aspects of the highly nonlinear process of cold roll forming of flat steel strip to shaped product in order to gain predictive understanding and determine optimal process conditions. The project aims to develop an innovative software system that will permit operators to balance and optimize mill productivity, energy consumption, mill downtime, and product change over times and facilitate the development of new products
