Strip tearing during cold rolling process has always been considered among the main concerns for steel companies, while several works have been done so far regarding the examination of this issue. In this paper, experimental data from cold rolling tandem mill is used for detecting strip tearing. Sensors are placed across the cold rolling tandem mill, to collect information on parameters (such a...

In September of 2003 Peter Winkler (the Director of Fundamental Mathematics Research at Bell Labs) came to Lafayette College, wh...
