Wind Drum Three Webs

Multi-web wind drum component

	Description
	The Wind Drum Three Webs component models simultaneous winding of three webs with variable roll radius and inertia.

	Usage
	The Wind Drum component must be at the end of three web lines. Using the provided 1D rotational flange ( ${flange}_{c}$ ), the Wind Drum component can be equipped with a motor.

Equations

Consider the drum shown below:

$T_{a1}, T_{a2}, T_{a3}$	Upstream tension
$v_{a1}, v_{a2}, v_{a3}$	Upstream speed
$τ$	Motor torque (zero if modeling an idler roller)
$ω$	Angular velocity (positive means wind)
$R_{c}$	Core radius
$R_{1} (t), R_{2} (t), R_{3} (t)$	Instantaneous roll radii for web 1, 2, and 3
$d_{B}$	Bearing damping coefficient
${th}_{1}, {th}_{2}, {th}_{3}$	Web thicknesses
$W_{1}, W_{2}, W_{3}$	Web widths

$T_{a1} R_{1} (t) + T_{a2} R_{2} (t) + R_{a3} R_{3} (t) = τ_{m} - J (t) d \frac{ω}{dt} - d_{B} ω$

$v_{a1} = R_{1} ω v_{a2} = R_{2} ω v_{a3} = R_{3} ω$

The roll inertia consists of the core inertia, $J_{c}$ , and the approximate roll variable inertia, $J (t)$ :

$J (t) = J_{c} + \frac{π}{2} \overset{&Hat;}{λ} ({R (t)}^{4} - R_{c}^{4})$

where

$\overset{&Hat;}{λ} = \frac{ρ_{1} W_{1} {th}_{1} + ρ_{2} W_{2} {th}_{2} + ρ_{3} {th}_{3}}{{th}_{1} + {th}_{2} + {th}_{3}}$

Roll Radius

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

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

$\frac{dR (t)}{dt} = ω \frac{{th}_{1} + {th}_{2} + {th}_{3}}{2 π}$

with the following initial value:

$R (0) = \frac{1}{2} (D_{init} + {th}_{1} + {th}_{2} + {th}_{3})$

The radii of the layers are calculated as:

$R_{1} (t) = R (t) - \frac{{th}_{2}}{2}$

$R_{2} (t) = R (t) + \frac{{th}_{1}}{2}$

$R_{3} (t) = R (t) + \frac{{th}_{1}}{2}$

When $Use stepwise = true$ and $Use multistep = false$ the effective roll radius is given by:

$\frac{dR (t)}{dt} = {\begin{array}{c} \frac{ω}{δ_{φ}} \sum_{k = 1}^{3} {th}_{k} & 0 < φ < δ_{φ} \\ 0 & otherwise \end{array}$

where $φ$ is the rotation of the drum between $0$ and $2 π$ and the roll radius increases only over a portion of each turn defined by the merge angle $δ_{φ}$ .

We also have the following initial value:

$R (0) = \frac{1}{2} (D_{init} + \sum_{k = 1}^{3} {th}_{k})$

The radii of the layers are now calculated as:

$R_{1} (t) = R (t) - \frac{{th}_{2}}{2} - \frac{{th}_{3}}{2}$

$R_{2} (t) = R (t) + \frac{{th}_{1}}{2} - \frac{{th}_{3}}{2}$

$R_{3} (t) = R (t) + \frac{{th}_{1}}{2} - \frac{{th}_{2}}{2}$

When $Use stepwise = true$ and $Use multistep = true$ the effective layer radii are given by:

$\frac{d}{dt} R_{j} (t) = \sum_{k = 1}^{3} {\begin{array}{c} \frac{ω {th}_{k}}{δ_{φ k}} & 0 < {\overset{&Hat;}{φ}}_{jk} < δ_{φ k} \\ 0 & otherwise \end{array}$

with $j \in \{1, 2, 3\}$ and the following intitial values:

$R_{1} (0) = R (t) + \frac{{th}_{1}}{2}$

$R_{2} (0) = R (t) + {th}_{1} + \frac{{th}_{2}}{2}$

$R_{3} (0) = R (t) + {th}_{1} + {th}_{2} + \frac{{th}_{3}}{2}$

In the above, $δ_{φ k}$ , is the merge angle for layers k.

Also, ${\overset{&Hat;}{φ}}_{ij}$ are angles dependent on the initial web starting point angle parameters ( $φ_{3}$ , $φ_{3 \to 2}$ , and $φ_{2 \to 1}$ ) and the variable angle between the tangent points of web 1, web 2, and web 3: $β_{12}$ and $β_{23}$ :

Initial configuration of the roll (use $Use Alternate Configuration = false$

In this case, we also define $R (t) = \frac{1}{2} (R_{1} (t) + R_{2} (t) + R_{3} (t))$
