Firstly, the basic theory of numerical simulation for the rolling process was chiefly introduced, and the key factors that influence computation accuracy and efficiency were given. A concept of"mass scaling" was put forward by analyzing the effect of material density on the stability limit of the dynamic explicit algorithm. A three-dimensional finite element model was established for a single strip, and the finite element simulation for the rolling process was realized by the dynamic explicit algorithm. The accuracy of the results was also verified. The effects of various mass scaling factors on the strip sizes after processing, the contact pressure between the strip and the roller as well as the internal energy and kinetic energy during processing were investigated, and a reasonable series of mass scaling factors were determined. The effect of mass scaling factors on computation efficiency was also studied. The research results indicate that the computation efficiency of rolling simulation can be raised by properly increasing the mass scaling factors without affecting the computation accuracy. Meanwhile, the deformation characters of the strip after processing were revealed. This research lays a foundation for the rolling process simulation of dispersion nuclear fuel plates.
