In this study, a formulation for forward slip in the process of the co
ntinuous rolling of II-beams is obtained through the use of the equili
brium equations. To simplify the analysis and yet give reasonable resu
lts, the web and flange are modeled separately as plane problems. Cons
ideration is given to as many as possible of the parameters affecting
forward and backward slip, Results from the analysis, in general, show
very good agreement with experimental data.
