The model represents the instantaneous spatially distributed interactions between a sheet of paper and multiple transport elements (e.g., rollers) acting on it. The model can predict essential features of the motion of the sheet of paper, such as buckling and tearing. In most interesting cases, it can predict the instantaneous velocity of the leading edge of the sheet.
The framework provided is quite generic and can be used as a starting point for developing models of other transportation domains.
