A Structural Analysis was made in this work to determine the state of deformations and stresses for the vacuum press shell under normal operating conditions. Once the deformations and stresses distributions were known, a fatigue analysis was made to evaluate the convenience of future surface grinding operations. The maximum deflection calculated in the model was in accordance with the real setting for the couch roll crown currently in use, which secures a contact NIP that is approximately constant along the axial direction.
