摘　　要：In the process of cold tandem rolling,chatter instability leads to serious impacts on enhancing rolling speed,improving product quality,reducing production cost and realizing intellectualization.Chatter occurs with the rolling speed up to a certain threshold value,but the critical speed is determined by both product specifications and rolling schedules.A 5-stand cold tandem rolling mill whose first three stands and subsequent two stands,respectively,have four and six rolls was investigated by formulating its dynamic equations with the corresponding structure-process coupling.By applying the stability-based calculation model about the critical rolling speed in each stand,the system dynamic responses around the critical rolling speed were simulated,and the system eigenvalues which represent instability and characteristic frequencies were figured out.Thereafter,via combining the critical rolling speeds with the system dynamic behavior,a dynamics-based optimization model of rolling schedule for the 5-stand cold tandem system was proposed for the purposes of both the chatter suppression and rolling speed increase.In the optimization model,eight rolling technique parameters(four strip thicknesses and four tensions between the upstream and downstream stands)were taken as design variables,and the constraint conditions were set as no chatter instability in all five stands,and the optimization goal was to maximize the outlet speed of the final stand.The pattern search method was introduced to solve the optimization model.By applying such a dynamics-based optimization model for the 5-stand cold tandem rolling process,the chatter instability was suppressed effectively and the rolling efficiency was improved considerably;therefore,such an optimization model is expected to be valuable for intelligent manufacturing of rolling process.
