Abstract A long established approximation, normally invoked in the development of classical rolling theory, is that the work roll‐strip interface assumes a circular profile. Although valid for a wide range of practical rolling conditions, the approximation is definitely suspect for instance in the last and penultimate stand of a thin sheet tandem mill, and algorithms based on classical theory may fail to converge. This paper computing solutions. In deriving the algorithm it is convenient to employ the formalism of functional One notable feature is that the gradients have to be carefully defined with respect to the correct ‘space’, in order that physically inadmissible discontinuties are not introduced during the hill‐climbing. Computed roll gap solutions sometimes display elastic deformation regions embedded within the normal plastic deformation zone. It is thought that this is the first time this possibility has been allowed for in the formulation, or solutions obtained exhibiting this feature.
