description | An accurate and numerically efficient description of the rolling process is a challenging task since the degree of computational accuracy is directly related to the complexity of the algorithm employed. In the most general case, finite element models (FEM) are used for the simulation of deformation processes; however, these techniques require significant computational time. Analytical approaches, which are suited for one or another deformation process, seem to be a proper alternative to FEM. In this study, the well-established flowline modeling approach (FLM) is extended with the aim of better describing the flow of a rolled material in both surface and subsurface regions. A new flowline function is defined, while the velocity along the particular streamline and strain rate gradients are determined analytically, based on the roll gap geometry. The new model is validated by comparing the velocity components to the ones computed by the finite element model. The distortion of meshes predicted by both FEM and FLM follow the same evolutionary pattern. |
