Modelling the Moisture Content of Multi-Ply Paperboard in the Paper Machine Drying Section

Gaillemard, Christelle January 2006 (has links)
This thesis presents a grey-box model of the temperature and moisture content for each layer of the multi-ply paperboard inside the drying section of a paper mill. The distribution of the moisture inside the board is an important variable for the board quality, but is unfortunately not measured on-line. The main goal of this work is a model that predicts the moisture evolution during the drying, to be used by operators and process engineers as an estimation of the unmeasurable variables inside the drying section. Drying of carton board is a complex and nonlinear process. The physical phenomena are not entirely understood and the drying depends on a number of unknown parameters and unmodelled or unmeasurable features. The grey-box modelling approach, which consists in using the available measurements to estimate the unknown disturbances, is therefore a suitable approach for modelling the drying section. A major problem encountered with the modelling of the drying section is the lack of measurements to validate the model. Consequently, the correctness and uniqueness of the estimated variables and parameters are not guaranteed. We therefore carry out observability and identifiability analyses and the results suggest that the selected model structure is observable and identifiable under the assumption that specific measurements are available. Based on this analysis, static measurements in the drying section are carried out to identify the parameters of the model. The parameters are identified using one data set and the results are validated with other data sets. We finally simulate the model dynamics to investigate if predicting the final board properties on-line is feasible. Since only the final board temperature and moisture content are measured on-line, the variables and parameters are neither observable nor identifiable. We therefore regard the predictions as an approximation of the estimated variables. The semiphysical model is complemented with a nonlinear Kalman filter to estimate the unmeasured inputs and the unmodelled disturbances. Data simulations show a good prediction of the final board temperature and moisture content at the end of the drying section. The model could therefore possibly be used by operators and process engineers as an indicator of the board temperature and moisture inside the drying section. / QC 20101112

Characterization of property variations in paperboard samples

Wretstam, Sofia January 2018 (has links)
In today’s paper and board production, quality control is made on a single cross direction (CD)sample from each tambour. As several different properties are analysed, only a limited number of measurement results are obtained for one property. Therefore, the measurement results might not be representative for the properties of the entire width of the tambour. The first objective of the project was to investigate variations of thickness, surface roughness and mechanical properties with a much higher resolution and number of measurements. The results of the measurement were compared with the routine quality control of the mill. The second objective of the project was to evaluate the influence of the wire shake unit in the centreply on the properties of the produced board. The measurements were performed on Iggesundpaperboard samples.The high-resolution measurements were performed using the STFI structural thicknessmeasurement device, an OptiTopo topography measurement device and a modified Autolinedevice at RISE Bioeconomy. The statistical evaluation of the results was performed in Matlab.Standard deviation, local variance and a frequency analysis were calculated for the thicknessmeasurements. Only standard deviation was considered for the topography data. For the mechanical properties, the distribution was evaluated using the Weibull distribution, since theresults had a single-sided distribution. In addition, the properties were analysed as a function of their location, for example to identify deterministic deviations in cross direction.The results of the first part of the project showed that the everyday control conducted in Iggesund is sufficient for most of the properties. Greatest difference was found at the edges ofthe samples, where Iggesund standard quality control does not detect a major variation inproperties, as no measurements are performed that close to the edge of the web. For example,at one edge, the high frequent measurements showed a significant drop in thickness which were not detected with the everyday quality control.In the second part of the project, the effect of a shake unit on the paper properties was evaluated. Here it was seen that the thickness variation were reduced, which also can be interpreted as an improvement of formation in the centre ply of the paperboard. As for thesurface roughness a slight improvement was found. Also for the mechanical properties, the shake unit appeared to improve the uniformity of the product / I dagens pappers-och kartongproduktion görs kvalitetskontroll på en enda tvärremsa (CD) från varje tambour. Eftersom flera olika egenskaper analyseras, erhålls endast ett begränsat antal mätresultat för en egenskap. Därför är informationen begränsad och kanske inte representativ för hela bredden av tambours egenskaper. Projektets första mål var att undersöka variationer i tjocklek, ytjämnhet och mekaniska egenskaper med mycket högre upplösning och antal mätningar. Resultaten av mätningen jämfördes med brukets rutinmässiga kvalitetskontroll.Det andra syftet med projektet var att utvärdera effekten av viraskaken på egenskaperna hos den producerade kartongen. Samtliga mätningar utfördes på kartongprover från IggesundsBruk.Mätningarna med hög upplösning utfördes med hjälp av en STFI-mätare för strukturtjocklek,en OptiTopo-enhet och en modifierad L&W Autoline-enhet. Den statistiska utvärderingen avresultaten utfördes i Matlab. Standardavvikelse, lokal variation och en frekvensanalys beräknades för tjockleksmätningarna. Endast standardavvikelse utvärderades för ytråhetsdata.För de mekaniska egenskaperna utvärderades fördelningen med hjälp av Weibullfördelningen,eftersom resultaten visade ett ensidigt beteende. Dessutom analyserades egenskaperna som en funktion av deras placering, till exempel för att identifiera deterministiska avvikelser i tvärriktningen.Resultaten av projektets första del visade att den dagliga kontrollen i Iggesund är tillräcklig för de flesta egenskaperna. Den största skillnaden hittades vid provets kanter, där Iggesundsstandardkvalitetskontroll Missar stora variationer för vissa egenskaper, eftersom inga mätningar utförs i det området på produkten. Vid ena sidan av nätverket visade de högfrekventa mätningarna en betydande minskning av tjockleken.I den andra delen av projektet utvärderades effekten av en skakningsenhet på pappersegenskaperna. Här såg man att variansen i tjockleksmätningarna indikerar en förbättring av formationen i kartongens mittskikt. När det gäller ytråheten konstaterades en liten förbättring. För de mekaniska egenskaperna föreföll viraskaken förbättra produktenslikformighet.

The Effect of Ultrasonic Oscillation on the Quality of 3D Shapes During Deep-Drawing of Paperboard

Löwe, Albrecht, Hauptmann, Marek, Majschak, Jens-Peter 12 June 2018 (has links) (PDF)
In this publication, the ultrasonic-assisted deep-drawing of fiber-based materials, whose implementation was presented in Löwe et al. (2016), was studied in detail. Methods were developed for measuring the properties of deep-drawn cups, including cup stability, shape deviation, and surface quality. The relationship between these properties and the process parameters were determined with a design of experiment, which allows the user to adjust the cup properties in order to optimize them.

Das informações existentes na literatura foram identificadas três formas de representação das estruturas pelo método dos elementos finitos, ou sejam: o modelo de papelão ondulado com miolo estrutural (ME); o modelo de placa ortotrópica homogênea em camadas com miolo como forma de sanduíche (Ms); e o modelo de placas ortotrópicas homogêneas de camada única idealizada (M1). Os resultados mostraram que as estruturas modeladas na forma ME tiveram os valores correspondentes aos ensaios práticos quando se acrescentou aos miolos uma camada adesiva. Para os modelos de elementos finitos em forma de camadas tipo sanduíche (Ms), a aproximação aos valores obtidos nos ensaios experimentais foi possível obter um ajuste muito bom, desde que os valores atribuidos para os módulos de cisalhamento e torcionais tivessem uma redução que os aproximasse dos valores reais. Seguindo este mesmo procedimento, para os módulos de cisalhamento e torcionais, foram ajustados os modelos de placas ortotrópicas homogêneas de camada única idealizada (MI) / Abstract: This work tried to assembled the informations and the methodologies for the modeling of the corrugated paperboard by the finite element method with the objective of realize the modeling in the program ANSYS and identify the advantages and restrictions of this method.

Advances on Geometrical Limits in the Deep Drawing Process of Paperboard

Hauptmann, Marek, Kaulfürst, Sebastian, Majschak, Jens-Peter 06 September 2018 (has links)
The geometrical limits of the deep drawing process of paper to advanced shapes are not known. This report examines the technological limits of convex elements of the base shape in relation to the drawing height and shows the material behavior in the bottom radius of 3D shapes with regard to special material properties. In the bottom radius, non-compressed wrinkles occurred due to the in-plane compression, but wrinkles were reduced by an increased blank holder force or tool temperatures and improved extensibility or in-plane compressive strain. The forming ratio during deep drawing (drawing height related to base diameter) was increased to a value of more than 1 by a blank holder force, which increased with the drawing height such that the initial blank holder force was reduced concurrently. Straight sections in the base shape reduced the risk for ruptures in the edge radii of rectangular shapes, producing a forming ratio in these radii of 2.5. The forming ratio was further supported by a pattern of creasing lines at the blanks with a radial orientation and a number near the expected maximum number of wrinkles. The spring-back at rectangular shapes mainly depended on the drawing height and edge radius.

Vergleich von Strategien zur Simulation der Kompression in Blattebene bei der 3D Umformung von Karton

Wallmeier, Malte 20 March 2012 (has links)
Die vorliegende Arbeit hat die Entwicklung eines Konzepts für das Materialmodell zur Simulation des Ziehprozesses mit Karton zum Ziel. Der Ziehprozess stellt bei seiner Simulation hohe Anforderungen an das verwendete Materialmodell. Mehrachsige Spannungszustände und die Einflüsse von Temperatur und Feuchtigkeit müssen berücksichtigt werden. Dazu werden Materialverhalten, Materialmodelle und ihre mathematisch-physikalischen Grundlagen, Spannungssituation und Anforderungen des Ziehprozesses an ein Materialmodell analysiert. Es wird ein Konzept dargelegt, in dem die Simulation des Ziehprozesses in drei Schritte unterteilt wird. Im ersten Teil werden Materialfeuchte und Temperatur mit einem zweidimensionalen Netzwerkmodell bestimmt. Im zweiten Schritt werden Materialparameter mit Hilfe eines dreidimensionalen Netzwerkmodells in Abhängigkeit von zuvor ermittelten Feuchte- und Temperaturwerten und mechanischer Belastung gewonnen. Diese Parameter werden im dritten Teil zur Simulation des Ziehprozesses mit einem makromechanischen Materialmodell genutzt. / A concept for the development of a paperboard material model for the simulation of deepdrawing processes is presented in this thesis. Concerning its simulation, the deep drawing process of paperboard is demanding. Complex states of tension, humidity and changes of temperature during the process have to be considered. Thus properties of paperboard, material-models, their mathematical-physical background and tensions during the deep-drawing process are analyzed. A concept for the material-model, dividing the simulation in three steps, is proposed. In the first step, temperature and humidity are determined, using a two-dimensional lattice model. During the second step material parameters, depending on the state of tension are evaluated with a three-dimensional lattice model. The third step contains the simulation of the deep-drawing process with a three-dimensional continuum model.

Modelling of failure mechanisms for corrugated board.

Haidar, Mohamed January 2015 (has links)
The present work describes the construction of a semi-analytical model for prediction of buckling loads in simply supported corrugated paperboard panels. The model accounts for transverse shear, due to the weakness of the core in such plates compared to the facings. This was done utilizing energy relations and rst order transverse shear. The panel was homogenised using laminate theory. A detailed model using FEM was derived in order to validate the predictive capabilities of the analytical model. Experimental testing was performed to estimate the accuracy of both theoretical models, and assess the limitation of the analytical model. All modes of analysis showed good agreement for cubic boxes. Further investigation into expanding the scope of the analytical model was carried out and commented on.

Analysis of Paperboard Performance using Digital Image Correlation / Användning av Digital Image Correlation för analys av kartongegenskaper

Liang, Yiming January 2020 (has links)
The performance of paperboard materials in packaging application has been investigated and evaluated for a long time. This is because it plays a decisive role for product protection and decoration in packaging applications. Potential damages during transportation sometimes affect the consistency of the performance. Therefore, the capability of the material to resist these external disturbances was of interest. A multiply paperboard was chosen as the experimental material. The analysis conducted in this thesis aimed to reveal the tensile behavior in the cross-machine direction (CD) of the material against various kinds of local or global changes. The changes included global and local climate variations, cutouts, and regional weakening and strengthening, which were applied during the intervals between preloading and reloading. The digital image correlation (DIC) analysis computed the time-varying strain fields from the gray level information contained in the recorded videos of loading processes.  The generated strain fields were imported to post analysis. Comparison between comparable stages (two stages with the same average strain value from different loading sections) was considered as the scheme of isolating the influences of the changes and investigating them individually. The cosine image similarity method and the eigenface algorithm were used to validate this scheme, while the directional average calculation and the strain field compensation method were introduced to realize the isolation. The differences between the front and back outer plies of the paperboard sheets were detected as individual. Moreover, both global and local climate changes were affecting the strain distributions of the specimens proportionally on account of the moisture ratio within the material. In addition, the invisible mechanical weakening and strengthening were captured evidently with the analysis, which caused strain concentrations due to the uneven distribution of expansion capability. The relaxation and bending in unloading processes were two of the primary disturbing factors within all the deformed specimens, which were related to time and bending direction, correspondingly. / Egenskaperna hos kartongmaterial för förpackningstillämpningar har varit ett ämne att undersökning under lång tid. Detta för att dessa egenskaper spelar en avgörande roll som produktskydd och dekorativ utformning i mängde av tillämpningar. Potentiella skador under transport påverkar bland annat materialets tillförlitlighet och prestandard. Därför är det aktuellt att undersöka samt förstå materialets förmåga att motstå yttre störningar. Experimentmaterialet som användes bestod av en typ av flerskiktskartong. Analyser som utfördes i denna avhandling har syfte att identifiera de mekaniska förändringarna i materialets dragegenskaper i tvärsmaskin-riktningen (CD) på grund av olika lokala eller globala förändringar. Förändringarna innefattar både globala och lokala klimatvariationer, utskärningar, och lokala försvagningar samt förstärkningar. Dessa förändringar infördes vid intervallet mellan på- och avlastning. Den digital bildkorrelations analys (DIC) användes för att beräknade de tidsvarierande töjningsfälten från den grånivåinformationen i som registrerades med hjälp av inspelade videor under belastningen  Den genererade töjningsfälten importerades för vidare analys. Två tillstånd med liknande medelvärde av töjningsnivån från olika delar av belastningen jämfördes, detta för att isolera påverkan av förändringarna och undersöka dem individuellt. Två olika metoder för jämförelse av bilderna (cosine image similarity och eigenface algorithm) användes för att validera analysschemat, där riktning-medelvärdesberäkningar och töjningsfälts kompensations-metoden användes för att realisera dessa isoleringar. Enstaka skillnader upptäcktes mellan de främre och bakre ytskikten på kartongarken. Dessutom påverkades töjningsfördelningarna för proverna både av den globala och lokala klimatförändringar på grund av fukttillståndet i materialet. Vidare kan de osynliga mekaniska försvagningar och förstärkningar tydligt fångas med de utförda analyserna, vilket ledde till töjningskoncentrationers uppkomst på grund av det inhomogena expansions-förmåga hos arket. Relaxationen och böjningen vid avlastning relaterade till tid och böjningsförmåga var två av de primära faktorerna som påverkade analysens kvalité.
