In this paper, an active vibration control of a translating tensioned steel strip in the zinc galvanizing line is investigated. The dynamics of the moving strip is modeled as an Euler-Bernoulli beam with nonlinear tension. The control objective is to suppress the transverse vibrations of the strip via boundary control. A right boundary control law based upon the Lyapunov’s second method is deri...

Project title: Performance and Effects of Punched Holes and Cold Bending on Steel Bridge Fabrication 16. Abstract A large experimental study was undertaken to determine the effect of hole making upon the strength, ductility, and fatigue performance of stru...

Hot-dip galvanizing is an efficient technique to control the corrosion of substrates. Producing blemish-free coatings a challenging task. Continuous work done on technology achieve excellent surfaces; thus, flaws are encountered at intervals in all continuous and galvannealed process. Most each very small galvanized defect can appear like draff particle, trapped actually tiny lot blemishes foun...
