In this paper, we present a simplified analytic approach for the prediction of roll force to be applicable to the grooveless rolling. The approach is based on the deformation shape deduced from physical considerations and employs the assumption that the deformation homogeneously occurs in three directions. Strain and strain rate are calculated by the geometric relationships between those components and the prescribed deformation functions. Then, stress components are obtained from the Levy-Mises' flow rule. By integrating the stress components along the rolling direction, roll force are finally obtained. The prediction accuracy of the proposed model is examined through comparison with results obtained from the finite element analysis.
