Mill Application of Finite Element Analysis to Solve the Problem of the Oxbow Effect

The finite element technique is applied to a calender roll to predict its temperature profile and deformed shape. This is used to design the required insulation at the end of the calender roll to prevent undue distortion. The design procedure is outlined, and the results of the procedure noted.
