The purpose of this study was to develop a method to analyze various designs of
accumulator rolls using a static finite element software package. This would
allow the engineer to determine how the various components of the roll design
contribute to or lessen the deflection of and stresses in the roll body when it is
loaded by sheet metal passing over or under it. The method outlined is intended
mainly for use when an advanced dynamic finite element package that
incorporates contact elements is not available and when a comparison of various
roll designs is desired.
First, an approximation of the pressure on the roll body caused by the force of
the sheet metal as it wrapped over or under the roll was determined. Then using
the finite element package ALGOR, an FEA model of a standard accumulator roll
design was loaded with this pressure and the stresses and deflections were
calculated. Next, components of this basic roll design were varied in the FEA
model. These were the location of the stiffeners and the thickness of the roll
body, the end plates, and the stiffeners. A comparative approach was then used
to assess the impact each of these variations in roll design had on the deflection
of and the stresses in the roll. |
