| contents | Metal rolling is a widespread and well-studied process, and many finite-element (FE) rolling simulations can be found in the scientific literature. However, these FE simulations are typically limited in their resolution of through-thickness variations. In this paper, we carefully assess the accuracy of a number of FE approaches, and find that at least 60 elements through-thickness are needed to properly resolve through-thickness variation; this is significantly more than is used elsewhere in the metal rolling literature. In doing so, we reveal an oscillatory stress pattern, which is not usually observed in simulations but which we can validate by comparison with recent analytical work, and which is completely deterministic, not arising from numerical noise or error. We show that these oscillations contribute to the formation of residual stress and may help predict curvature in asymmetric rolled sheets, a phenomenon which is currently not well understood. Accurate through-thickness variation of stress and strain would also have implications for modelling microstructure evolution, damage, and surface finish. |
