Virtual Industrial Laboratory Series
2. Rolling Mill Package
Rolling Mills are of major technological significance in modern society. The aims of rolling mills are to reduce the thickness and change the metallurgical properties of a metal strip as it is passed through a pair of driven parallel cylindrical rolls.
Of particular relevance to this virtual laboratory is the problem of automatic thickness control in rolling mills. This virtual laboratory will successively investigate a number of control architectures aimed at dealing with the issues raised in this application.
