This lecture covers the analysis of rolling forces and power in metal forming processes such as laminating, extrusion, and wire rolling. The instructor explains the dynamic aspects of rolling cases, the conditions for lateral areas expression, and the application of equations for separate rolling cases. Topics include the existence of neutral points, solving rolling equations, and the calculation of rolling moments. Additionally, the lecture discusses the relationship between rolling power, speed, and the rate of rolled material, emphasizing the importance of mechanical equilibrium and the balance of forces in the rolling process.
