Previous research on the shape control showed that the shape control process is a non-linear, time-varying and time-delay system, depending on the coupled effects of many factors, such as the variations of strip materials, geometries, roll and strip temperatures etc [1,2].
Because the shape control process in cold strip mill is a non-linear, time-varying and time-delay system, depending on the coupled effects of many parameters, such as the deflection and flattening of the rolls, changes of the bending force, temperature distribution of the rolls and strip, spray water on the rolls, wear of the rolls, material characteristic of the strip and fault of the incoming slab, a total of 50 variables in Table 1 has been introduced to the developed shape prediction model as the selected variables.
Using 23 key principal components, nearly 92% of the dynamic behavior of the shape in cold strip mill has been described. 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 0.00 0.02 0.04 0.06 0.08 0.10 0.12 0.00982 0.01123 0.01 Fractional variance Components Fig. 2 Fractional variance of each component -50 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 400 450 500 10 -3 10 -2 10 -1 10 0 0.0049 0.0024 0.0038 0.0020 Mean square error Epoch Traing without PCA Testing without PCA Trainging with PCA Testing with PCA Fig. 3 Training and testing processes of neural network with and without PCA The training and testing convergence rates of the shape prediction model based on BP neural network with principal component analysis were compared with those without principal component analysis as shown in Fig. 3.

Introduction Metallic Glasses (MGs), discovered several decades before [1], are a class of materials with no long range translational order and orientational order aswell, and this ordering plays ambiguous role in glass transition [2].
Understanding dynamics of supercooled liquids have attracted substantial scientific exploration which spawned the materials and manufacturing engineering.
Voronoi tessellation analysis proves to be a powerful tool for demonstrating the local atomic ordering in amorphous materials.
Furthermore, the insights derived in this work suggests the potential functional properties of Ni62Nb38 MG and utilisation as Future Materials.

A numerical model of the roof structure was developed in the finite element analysis (FEA) software SCIA Engineer [4].
Considering the stresses in the roof members and structural parameters being analysed, the isotropic material model with mechanical properties of C24 according to [5] is adopted, which corresponds to the applied type of wood (larch).
Conclusions It can be concluded that the stresses obtained by numerical analysis do not exceed the design strengths of material, defined in standard [9].
