Vibration Control of Flexible Steel Plates

(Study on the Mechanism of Bending Magnetic Levitation of Steel Plates)

Abstract

In the steel plate manufacturing process, deterioration of surface quality due to contact between the roller and the steel plate has become a problem. Our research group is continuously researching a system that levitate a flexible steel plate while bending it. It has been confirmed that when a flexible steel plate is magnetically levitated, it bends in a range where electromagnetic force does not apply, but the levitation is stabilized by bending the steel plate. In this study, dynamic analysis was performed using the finite difference method, and the vibration characteristics of the levitating steel plate were examined.
