Dynamics of the axially moving orthotropic web (Q925127)

This book is devoted to dynamics of axially moving material objects of low flexural stifness that are referred to as webs. One encounters such objects in paper manufacturing and printing industry. This book is divided into seven chapters. In Chapter 1, the results of identification of rheological parameters of two paper webs and a corrugated board web that are subject to dynamic investigations are presented. Chapter 2 discusses the state of knowledge on dynamic investigations of axially moving systems. Chapter 3 is devoted to the dynamic analysis of undamped system of the axially moving web. Chapter 4 describes the investigations of web equilibrium states. In Chapter 5, the results of dynamic analysis of the damped system of the axially moving web are presented. In Chapter 6, dynamic analysis of the beam model of the web is presented. The last Chapter contains conludding remarks. There are three Appendixes. The material presented in the book is very useful for practicing engineers and research workers. The reviewer enjoyed reading the book and recommends it strongly to all those who are actively engaged in research in the area of applied mechanics and computational mechanics.
