Application of Vibration Control in Steel Industries

Description

In steel industry, the high quality requirements of rolled products, in particular the restrictive thickness tolerances, mean a challenging task also from a control point of view. One of the key problems in this context are vibrations of the rolling plant. Therefore, this contribution is concerned with the active rejection of two common vibration problems, namely vibrations of so-called wrapper rolls and the chatter penomenon. A mathematical model based on physical considerations taking into account the essential nonlinearities of the plant provides the basis for the controller design. For vibration rejection two nonlinear control concepts based on energy considerations and the theory of differential flatness are presented.
