Simulation modelling of cold rolled metal strip by asymmetric technology

Abstract

Abstract In the article provided the results of studies the optimization of energy-saving technologies in mechanical engineering using modern methods of simulation modeling is becoming an urgent area for the informatization of engineering production on the process of cold asymmetric rolling of metal sheets is accompanied by an inhomogeneous stress-strain state. The research considers the noncanonical areas of strain, an approach is proposed for determining the optimal technological parameters and studying the stress state of the cold rolling process using asymmetric rolling technology in the active zone of elastoplastic strains based on simulation using the application software LS-DYNA by LS-PrePost (R) version V4.6.1. To optimize energy-saving for rolling technologies, considered a stationary regime of symmetrical rolling, the kinetic energy does not change over time, and the potential energy in the active zone of elastic-plastic strains tends to increase. For the case of asymmetric rolling, a high level of kinetic energy is observed, and there is a fluctuation over time, explained by different coverage of asymmetric rollers in the zone of active elastic-plastic strains, as a result of which the stationary nature of the metal sheet rolling mode is violated.
