An analytical model is set up to predict the surface-near thermo-mechanical stresses in work rolls during hot rolling. The quantification of
the temperature distribution and the residual stresses in circumferential direction allow for an optimization of the rolling process in order to
reduce banding. Besides influences of mechanical loading, banding is primarily caused by high temperature differences between the roll's
surface and colder layers underneath the surface. Since a steady-state is not reached in the relevant time domain the model accounts for
the instationary case. Calculated thermally induced residual stresses are related to the mechanical properties of the roll's material. Analyti-
cally calculated temperature distributions on the roll surface are predicted by the model and compared with experimental results. The
influence of the rolling speed and strip temperature are discussed with respect to plastic strains in circumferential direction of the roll.

In the next step, the model should take into account the
initial residual stress state of the work roll induced by the
manufacturing process [5, 16, 24], as well as material data
identified in LCF tests performed at elevated temperatures.
Since this model is fully based on analytical solutions it is
fast and suitable for online applications, whereby an opti-
