Abstract: Almost all winding models incorporate the assumption of small linear deformations and strain in their development. These models treat the addition of a layer of web to a winding roll with linear analysis using linear strain ...

Abstract: At the end of roll-to-roll (R2R) manufacturing process machines, the web substrate must be wound into rolls. Winding is the only means known to store and protect vast lengths of very thin webs for subsequent processing. ...

Abstract: Thin web materials are commonly transported through machinery where a process adds value to the web. The flexible web is supported intermittently by contact with rollers. The friction forces associated with this contact ...
