• Asymmetrical rolling
• Horizontal displacement
• Output curvature

In this paper, a less studied factor in the asymmetrical rolling process of sheets, namely the rolls horizontal displacement, is investigated using an analytical approach based on the slab method analysis. The presented method is capable of computing the force and torque of the process under different asymmetrical factors such as the rolls horizontal displacement, the interface friction inequality, and the rolls speed mismatch. A formula is presented to predict the outgoing sheet curvature induced by the rolls horizontal displacement. The results can be potentially used in producing curved sheets of various shapes by the asymmetrical rolling process. The analytical model is compared with a verified finite element code and good agreement has been observed.
