Stability Analysis of a Nonlinear Coupled Vibration Model in a Tandem Cold Rolling Mill by Xing Lu, Jie Sun, Guangtao Li, Zhenhua Wang, Dianhua Zhang

“…However, the torsional chatter is also a typical type of mill chatter, and the presence of intermediate roll and backup roll will affect the overall vibration of the mill structure system. In this paper, a newly cold rolling mill vibration model coupled with the dynamic rolling processing model and nonlinear vibration model is proposed with the consideration of dynamic coupling and nonlinear characteristics of the rolling process, multiroll equilibrium, and roll movement in both vertical-horizontal-torsional directions. …”
