Project Title: Simulation and Validation of Roll-Separating Forces and Limiting Reduction in Cold-Rolling
Project Description: Reduction of thickness of a strip in a rolling process is limited by the required roll-separating force and the elastic
flattening of rolls. As the reduction value increases the roll-separating force also increases and for any rolling mill there is a maximum value
of roll-separating force which it can support. Even before the required load becomes a constraint, the elastic flattening of the roll may
increase the contact area to a level at which the stress at the roll-strip contact falls below the yield stress of the strip. The roll-separating
force also increases with increase in coefficient of friction. With proper choice of lubricant the coefficient of friction can be reduced but very
low friction results in slip at the roll-strip contact. Thus, the optimisation of lubrication for a given set of constraints, such as maximum load,
roll diameter and thickness reduction requires a complex optimisation process. A finite element simulation of rolling as a function of the
above parameters using an elastic-plastic model for the strip and finite elasticity for the rolls is to be done. A 3-d map of roll-separating
force, strip thickness reduction and coefficient of friction will be generated to enable optimisation of the rolling process. I am also doing
experiments to measure the coefficient of friction for lubricants used in rolling.

I am doing a certification course in Finite Element Method at Centre for Continuing Education, Indian
Institute of Science, Bangalore, India.
Apart from my studies I have been engaged in part-time teaching to support my educational expenses
since I have passed my high school. I have taught mathematics to students of different standards. I have
also worked with Gateforum Education Pvt. Ltd for three months as a part-time tutor for Engineering
Mathematics.
I have done Molecular Dynamics Simulation of diffusion of a Carbon atom in BCC Iron.
