Description

The Unwind Drum Two Webs component models simultaneous unwinding of two webs with variable roll radius and inertia.

Usage

The Unwind Drum component must be at the start of two web lines.

Using the provided 1D rotational flange (flangec) the component can be equipped with a motor.

Equations

Consider the drum shown below

Tb1,Tb2

Downstream tension

vb1,vb2

Downstream speed

τ

Motor torque (zero if modeling an idler roller)

ω

Angular velocity (positive means wind)

Rc

Core radius

R1t,R2t

Instantaneous roll radii for web 1 and 2

dB

Bearing damping coefficient

th1,th2

Web thicknesses

W1,W2

Web widths

Tb1R1tTb2R2t=τmJtdω1dtdBω

vb1=R1ω

vb2=R2ω

The roll inertia consists of the core inertia, Jc, and the approximate roll variable inertia, Jt:

Jt=Jc+π2λ^Rt4Rc4

where

λ^=W1ρ1th1+W2ρ2th2th1+th2

Roll Radius

The time-varying roll radius is given by the following differential equations:

When Use stepwise is false, the effective roll radius is given by

dRtdt=ωth1+th22π

with the following initial value:

R0=12Dinit+th1+th2

The radii of the layers are calculated as

R1t=Rtth22

R2t=Rt+th12

When Use stepwise is true, the effective roll radius is given by

dRtdt&equals;{ωth1&plus;th2δφ0<φ<δφ0otherwise

where φ is the rotation of the drum between 0 and 2π and the roll radius decreases only over a portion of each turn defined by the merge angle δφ.

We also have the following initial value

R0&equals;12Dinit&plus;th1&plus;th2

The radii of the layers are now calculated as

R1t&equals;Rtth22

R2t&equals;Rt&plus;th12
