The “carpenter’s measuring tape” is a thin spring-steel strip, preformed to a curved cross section of radius R, which is straight when being used for measuring. Under bending moments, it forms a localized hinge, in which the transverse curvature is suppressed, and the longitudinal radius r is approximately equal to R. Rimrott made a simple ...

In the most recent years the asymmetric rolling (AR) attracts attention of researchers and technologists. This process can improve some technological parameters (e.g. modification of rolling torque and load, power requirements, etc.) as well as provide the possibility of grain refinement in a relatively inexpensive way. Most of the reports concerni...
The shape defects such as edge waves and center buckles may be formed in the rolled strip, since rolling can easily produce non-homogenous elongation across the strip width. The main purpose of tension leveling is to cure such defects by eliminating the differences in elongation and thus eliminating the residual stresses. In this paper, a new model...
