Abstract: | We examine the structure of the marginal stability curves of an eigenvalue problem related to the buckling deformations observed during cold rolling of sheet metal. The instability in question is characterised by a centre “wave” pattern and arises as the interplay between the self-equilibrating residual stresses associated with the rolling process, on the one hand, and the traction force acting on the strip, on the other. When the latter effect dominates, we show that singular perturbation methods can be used to unravel a number of novel mathematical features of the linear bifurcation equation. We also provide simple quantitative formulae that facilitate an easy interpretation of the corresponding physical phenomena. |
