Abstract: In thin-gauge cold rolling of metal sheet, the surface roughness of work rolls (WRs) is known to affect the rolled sheet surface morphology, the required rolling load, and the roll wear. While modeling of rough surfaces ...

Abstract: A primary factor in manufacturing highquality coldrolled sheet is the ability to accurately predict the required rolling force. Rolling force directly influences rollstack deflections, which correlate to strip thickness ...

Abstract: A method is introduced for efficient reliability-based design of laser peening (LP) surface treatment to extend fatigue life of metal components. The method includes nonparametric probability density estimation, surrogate ...
