Thermal analysis of hot strip rolling using finite element and upper bound methods. (English) Zbl 1185.74092

Summary: Thermal analysis of hot rolling process has been studied in this work. A finite element method has been coupled with an upper bound solution assuming, triangular velocity field, to predict temperature field during hot strip rolling operation. To do so, an Upwind Petrov-Galerkin scheme together with isoparametric quadrilateral elements has been employed to solve the steady-state heat transfer equation. A comparison has been made between the published and the model predictions and a good agreement was observed showing the accuracy of the proposed model.
