Abstract

One method to limit calender barring is to vary the offsets of the rolls. The goal is to get the caliper travelling from nip to nip to interfere destructively reducing the vibration. To predict the ideal offsets, a dynamic model of the vibrating stack is required. Previous models used point masses, connected by linear springs and proportional damping. This research uses the finite element method to add flexible rolls, non-proportional damping and complex vibration modes.
