a b s t r a c t A theoretical analysis on the contact vibration problem of a nip rolling system composed with two paper machine rolls is presented. It is modelled at the contact region by a twodegree-of-freedom (DOF) mass-spring-damper system. The rolling contact force in a case of viscoelastic polymer covered roll is formulated by integration of the contact stress. Regenerative chatter effects to the stability of the vibrations are considered. The perturbation technique is applied through the multi-scale method to calculate the nonlinear normal form of the governing equations to determine the stability behavior of the system. The numerical results in time domain are consistent with the bifurcation diagrams. Ó 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

1. Introduction The contact vibration problem of a roll nip system is presented. Roll nips are used for finishing the surface of processing paper and extensively exist in large scale paper machines of modern paper manufacturing industry. One nip unit consists of two rolls rotating with contact. The traditional hard-nip machine calenders, in which a paper web is calendered to a uniform thickness, cause the variations in paper surface properties [1]. In supercalenders, the nip is typically formed by one hard metal roll and one soft roll coated with polymer layer, so-called soft-nip. In this paper, the soft-nip will be studied. The soft cover may distribute the contact pressure in the nip and produce a paper with more constant density rather than constant caliper of the paper. However, the polymer material has such strong viscoelastic characters that can considerably affect the contact stresses. Consequently a regenerative vibration condition evidently originates from the polymer cover due to its finite viscoelastic recovery time. How to deeply understand the vibration mechanics of the nip contact and substantially mitigate the harmful vibrations (including noises accordingly) are still challenging tasks in the field of the paper manufacturing engineering. In the related literatures, many of researches are concentrated on the contact stress between elastic or viscoelatic bodies in different methods [2–11]. These are mostly for static analysis. On the other hand, some interesting works on dynamic modeling of rolling contact intrigue us. For example, Nayak [12] in earlier 1972 presented a rolling contact dynamic model with two elastic bodies solving by harmonic balance method. Much later in 1997, using the same model as Nayak, Narayana and Sekar [13] solved its equation by Fourier–Galerkin–Newton method and obtained the bifurcation structure of contact vibrations. Gray and Johnson [14] investigated the response of the rolling elastic bodies through the theory and techniques of random vibration. They claimed that contact load and damping are significant parameters. Turner [15] studied nonlinear

vibrations with Cantilever–Hertzian contact boundary conditions in a beam application. In recent researches, the dynamic contact force has been analyzed and might be nonlinear from the contact stiffness [16,17]. But it is still needed to discovery more for the aspect that the contact force can be applied into a dynamic model. Such kind of problems belongs to contact vibrations. Authors have studied on the time delay dynamic system [18] whereas some tests and observations on a nip installation have been done and analyzed [19]. Furthermore, to model and predict the vibration motion of the nip system, formulating of the contact force based on the contact theory is needed to explore the soft-nip contact mechanics. The intent of this work is to develop the model of the contact vibrations of the nip system. Firstly, we will present the contact mechanics involved in the deformation of the corrugations on the polymer covered roll surface. The normal contact force is integrated from the pressure distribution between the contact areas. The nonlinear relation between the normal force and the penetration is examined. The variation of the contact force causes the vibrations and appears as a nonlinear term in the mathematical equations of the model. Secondly, we will establish the equations of motion for the dynamic contact vibrations essentially nonlinear, which is of also theoretical interest. Moreover, the time delay term owing to the viscoelastic polymer cover is considered and makes the entire system under a regenerative vibration condition. These two reasons might lead to severe difficulties in the application of approximate techniques for the analysis of these nonlinear time delay differential equations including the solutions and stability. As refer to the stability of time delay system is more complex and interesting especially when it involves nonlinear elements. The analysis of the Hopf bifurcation in different models can be carried out by using analytical methods like multi-scale, harmonic and Floquet theory [20–25]. From the perturbation theory [26], the multi-scale method in this work will be executed for analyzing the mathematical model to obtain the normal form and the amplitude of the limit cycle of the motion. 2. Mathematic modeling of nip contact For this model, there are several assumptions. The time delay is constant, there is no loss of contact in the nip, the small torsional vibration is neglected, the bearing effects are not considered and the temperature generated from the rolling contact is not included. The metal rolls are big (the contact length is 4.4 m and roll radius 2.75 m) and the rolling speed is high (500 m/min). To establish the dynamic vibration model of the nip system, the normal contact force between the rigid roll and the polymer covered roll should be formulated at first. The distribution function p(z) of the normal contact pressure between the two rolls in Fig. 1 is unsymmetrical due to the viscoelastic material behavior on layered contact [27]

where the equivalent radius R = R1R2/(R1 + R2), Deborah number n = vwebsrelaxation/a, and a  R. The dimension coefficients R1 and R2 are radiuses of the two rolls, the sum of the contact widths (a + b) is in the z-direction of the loaded area, s is the thickness of the thin polymer cover layer of the upper roll and E is equivalent elastic modulus [27]. vweb is the speed of the paper roll 1, metal

web through the nip, which corresponds to the running speed of the rolls; srelaxation is the viscoelastic relaxation time of the polymer material and b is the viscoelastic material parameter. The compressive strain ec in an element of the contact at horizontal z-direction is given by

ec ¼ ðd  z2 =2RÞ=s; a 6 z 6 b;

ð4Þ

where d is the maximum depth of the penetration of the covered roll. By assuming b  a in a symmetric contact, which is the typical case in practical applications

or one can rewrite like

P ¼ hF U a3 ;

ð6Þ

where the parameter

FU ¼

ð7Þ

And h is the reciprocal of the thickness of the polymer cover s, h = 1/s. Fig. 2 illustrates the equivalent spring-mass system for the nip contact rolls. Let x1s = x1(t  s). Symbol s is the delay time relevant to the rotational speed of the polymer covered roll. Now we need to seek the relation between the contact width a and the dynamic displacements. In the formula Eq. (4), the strain is zero at z=a; thus one can get

a2 ¼ 2R  d:

ð8Þ

The maximum depth of the penetration of the roll d in the dynamical model should be related to the displacements x1, x2 and expressed like

d ¼ d0 þ x1  x2 þ DðtÞ;

ð9Þ

where d0 is the nominal penetration in the contact region and the external excitation is D(t) = Dsin(Xt) from the paper web, which is assumed as zero here.

Then the width of the contact a can be solved as the function of x1 and x2 as

a2 ðtÞ ¼ 2Rðd0 þ x1  x2 Þ;

ð10Þ

and the formula Eq. (10) can be transferred to

ð11Þ

Now the normal force P in formula Eq. (6) becomes the function of x1 and x1s due to the formula Eq. (10), thereby the governing equations of the motion of the rolling system are expressed as

€x1 þ 2f1 x_ 1 þ p21 x1 ¼ Nðx1 ; x1s ; x2 ; x2s ; tÞ=m1 ; €x2 þ 2f2 x_ 2 þ p22 x2 ¼ Nðx1 ; x1s ; x2 ; x2s ; tÞ=m2 ;

ð12Þ ð13Þ

where

2fi ¼ ci =mi ;

p2i ¼ ki =mi ;

and i ¼ 1; 2:

ð14Þ

Considering the time delay effect in formula Eq. (6), the entire dynamic contact force N including the nip damping in the contact is

ð15Þ

The relaxation parameter ce is related to the time delay and the polymer material characteristics. 3. Perturbation analysis To do the perturbation analysis, the nonlinear cubic term a3(t) obtained from Eqs. (10) and (11) can be expanded as a Taylor series

ffi pffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi rffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi x1 x2 2Rd0  1 þ  d0 d0 "    2  3 # pffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi 1 x1 x2 1 x1 x2 1 x1 x2 ;    þ  ffi 2Rðd0 þ x1  x2 Þ  2Rd0  1 þ 2 d0 d0 8 d0 d0 16 d0 d0

a3 ðtÞ ¼ 2Rðd0 þ x1  x2 Þ 

ð16Þ

where higher orders are omitted and xd10  xd20 6 1 must be satisfied. Now the equations of the model Eqs. (12) and (13) evidently consist of nonlinear terms due to the formula Eq. (16). In this system, the masses of the two rolls are close to equal. For simplicity, let m1 = m2. It is assumed that the term FU is constant. Then we can give the notes like

pffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi F ¼ F 1 ¼ F 2 ¼ ðF U =m1 Þ  2R 2Rd0 ;

cn ¼ cn1 ¼ cn2 ¼ cnip =m1 :

ð17Þ

The perturbation analysis can be performed into the delay type equations using the method of multiple scales [28]. In this method, a fast time-scale T0 = t and a slow time-scale T1 = e2t are introduced. We seek a second-order expansion for the Eqs. (12 and 13) in the form

xi ¼ exi0 ðT 0 ; T 1 Þ þ e2 xi1 ðT 0 ; T 1 Þ þ e3 xi2 ðT 0 ; T 1 Þ þ Oðe4 Þ;

i ¼ 1; 2:

ð18Þ

The time derivatives are

@xi0 @xi1 @xi2 @xi0 þ e2 þ e3 þ 2e3 þ ; @T 0 @T 0 @T 0 @T 1 @ 2 xi0 @ 2 xi1 @ 2 xi2 @ 2 xi0 €xi ¼ e þ e2 þ e3 þ 2e3 þ  2 2 2 @T 0 @T 1 @T 0 @T 0 @T 0 x_ i ¼ e

ð19Þ ð20Þ

Then we perturb the contact parameter (relevant to the effective thickness of the polymer layer), let

h ¼ hc þ e2 h1 ;

ð21Þ

where hc is the reciprocal of thickness value s at the stability boundary. Substituting the Eqs. (18)–(21) into the governing Eqs. (12) and (13), and equating the coefficients of like power of e, we obtain results as following. Order e1: for the first governing Eq. (12)

The approximate solutions of the system are expressed by Eqs. (36) and (37). The qualitative behavior near the Hopf bifurcation can be determined by the sign of g2. For the following result g2> 0, it is subcritical [29]. The amplitude of the steady-state limit cycles can be obtained from the Eq. (36) by setting the derivative term a0 = 0. It yields the expression of determining the constant amplitude of the limit cycles

4. Numerical results and discussion Using the MATLABÒ SIMULINK environment the simulation model of the nip system can be set up for the numerical simulations. Several cases have been tested with different rolling speeds. The bifurcation diagram presenting the amplitude of the limit cycle vs the bifurcation parameter from the Eq. (40) can be depicted in Figs. 3. As mentioned before, the layer thickness is s = 1/h. Here the value sc = 1 mm is with respect to hc on the Hopf bifurcation. In Fig. 3, the values of the time delays are s = 0.2160 s (rolling speed 480 m/min) and 0.2116 s (490 m/min), 0.2033 s (510 m/min), respectively. When the rolling speed is 490 m/min, the amplitude is lower than the two others owing to the characteristics of the stability lobe of time delay

system [21]. Similarly in Fig. 4, the values of the time delays are s = 0.2033 s (510 m/min) and 0.1994 s (520 m/min), 0.1920 s (540 m/min), respectively. And the amplitude in 520 m/min case is lower than the two others as well. Thus in the rolling speed range of from 480 to 520 m/min, there are jumps from the stable to the unstable alternatively. Let’s check the stability behaviors from the time domain responses next. The numerical results of Eqs. (12) and (13) are illustrated in Fig. 5. Here, we only plot the displacement response x1 of the polymer covered roll since x2 has the same value but an opposite phase of x1. Totally, there are still five cases in different speeds (480, 490, 510, 520, 540 m/min). Each picture includes three subplots as the displacement vs time, the normal force vs. time and the normal force vs the contact width. The nominal contact force is about 60 kN. The displacement amplitudes at the rolling speeds 490 and 520 m/min are much smaller than the others. The stability characteristics are consistent with the bifurcation plots in Figs. 3 and 4. 5. Conclusions The dynamic behaviors of the contact vibrations of the rolling nip system have been investigated through the two-DOF model considering the nonlinear contact stiffness and the time delay effects. The nonlinear normal form of the equations of motion is obtained by the multi-scale method. Thereby the bifurcation diagrams are plotted. The time history responses are consistent with the bifurcation diagrams. Both at the same rolling speeds indicate the same characteristics of the time delay system jumping from the stable to unstable alternatively.
