Numerical Simulation of the Hot Rolling Process of Steel Beams

The complete rolling schedule (25 passes) of steel beams in a mill was simulated to predict the final beam length, geometry of the cross-section, effective stress, effective plastic strain and rolling power for two cases; the first case corresponds to the hot rolling process assuming a constant temp...
