Equations of strip equilibrium during asymmetrical flat rolling

The paper presents the equations of equilibrium of a flat rolled strip, generalized for non-symmetrical conditions in the roll-gap and for the cases of forces and moments operating on the strip sections beyond the roll-gap. The dependencies and assumptions imposed here are complete, which enables using them, e.g. to establish, simplified relationships useful for analytical solutions. In the discussion, the limitations of the solutions presented are indicated and the problems demanding further research defined.
