Extended-state-observer-based robust torsional vibration suppression for rolling mill main drive system with input saturation

A robust torsional vibration suppression strategy is proposed for the main drive system of the rolling mill subject to uncertainties,disturbances and input saturation.With given model information incorporated into observer design,an extended state observer that relies only on roller speed measurements is developed to estimate the system states and lumped uncertainties of the rolling mill main drive system.To handle the motor torque saturation,an auxiliary signal system with the same order as the plant is constructed.The error between the control input and plant input is taken as the input of the constructed auxiliary system,and a number of signals are generated to compensate for the effect of the motor torque saturation.Furthermore,a robust output feedback controller is introduced to obtain better transient and steady-state performance of the rolling mill main drive system and the stability of the closed-loop system is strictly proved via Lyapunov theory.Finally,comparative simulations are performed to verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed control strategy.

Adaptive command filter constraint control of rolling mill torsional vibration under current harmonic

An adaptive command filter control strategy was proposed to realize the asymptotic tracking of the roll speed,which successfully suppressed torsional vibration for the main drive system of the rolling mill with nonlinear friction,nonlinear damping,current harmonic,time-varying stiffness and unknown disturbance.A finite time predetermined performance method was proposed,so that the speed tracking error of the main transmission system was always constrained in the performance function and converged to its minimum boundary within the specified time.Based on the adaptive estimation of harmonic amplitude,the torque control law of the motor was obtained by using the filter backstepping method,which prevented the torsional vibration of the system caused by the input fluctuation and avoided the complexity explosion of the controller design,and the stability of the closed-loop system was strictly proved by the Lyapunov theory.The actual numerical simulation verified the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

Modeling and Analysis of Interstand Tension Control in 6-high Tandem Cold Rolling Mill

The interstand tension control is one of the most important ways to meet tight tolerances for strip product quality during tandem cold rolling process. Using coordinate analysis and parabolic approximation for the mass flow balance principle, the strip velocities eliminating the use of forward slips and backward slips were calculated. In order to reduce the effect of roll eccentricity on the tension measurement, a filter based on bilinear transformation was de- signed. Applying a first-order Taylor series approximation, the transfer function matrix model of interstand tension stress was derived. The actual measurements on-site and the final calculation results showed that the established model had high calculation accuracy and was beneficial for interstand tension control of random cold rolling process.

Analysis of Hot Tandem Rolling Force with Logarithmic Velocity Field and EA Yield Criterion

In order to analyze the hot tandem roiling force, a new logarithmic velocity field is proposed. Using the field and linear EA （equal area） yield criterion, the plastic deformation power for plate rolling is analyzed, and the friction power is obtained based on the co-line vector inner product method. Then analytical solution of plate rolling power functional is obtained. Finally, by minimizing the power functional, the rolling torce and torque are received. Compared with those measured ones in hot tandem rolling on-line, the calculated rolling forces are in good agreement with the actual measured ones since the maximum error is less than 12~. Moreover, the effects of various rolling conditions such as thickness reduction, friction factor and shape factor, upon separating force, location of neutral an- gle, and stress state coefficient are discussed systematically.
