AbstractRolling is simulated by a three‐dimensional finite‐element model with elastoplastic constitutive equations. The use of an explicit finite‐element formulation, instead of the more commonly used implicit formulation, has reduced the required computing time. The larger of the models used is one step towards a general and complete computational model of rolling. Results from experiments and from two‐ and three‐dimensional calculations are compared.
