The central problem of the analysis and prevention of chatter in rolling operations is in understanding the conditions which lead to dynamic instability. By analogy with metal cutting operations, it appears that a few basic mechanisms may be responsible for the occurrence of self-excited vibrations in rolling. The three most significant mechanisms are: negative damping, mode-coupling and regeneration. In this paper, negative damping and mode-coupling are considered separately in an “artificial” manner to make inroads toward a better basic understanding of rolling instability.
