... three-dimensional shape. In this study, a finite element foil structural model is proposed that takes into consideration the three-dimensional foil shape. Using the proposed model, the deflections of interconnected bumps are compared to those of separated bumps, and the minimum film thickness determined...

...P. Singh; R. K. Pandey; Y. Nath The main objective of this research is to analyze the variation of minimum film thickness in the inlet zone of roll-strip interface by incorporating starvation and viscous shear heating effects at high rolling speeds ( 5 – 20 m ∕ s ) , reduction ratios (0.05–0.20...
