Volume 1 presents first fundamental principles of the rheology of polymeric fluid including
kinematics and stresses of a deformable body, the continuum theory for the viscoelasticity of …

The effects of extrusion and formulation variables on the structure and properties of starch‐
polyester laminates were examined. Three‐layer polyester/starch/polyester sheets were …

Superposed plane Poiseuille flow of an incompatible polymer system consisting of
polypropylene and high‐density polyethylene has been investigated. Using the apparatus …

Purely viscous and purely elastic interfacial instabilities as well as the layer encapsulation
phenomena in superposed pressure-driven channel flow of well characterized Newtonian …

The effect of viscoelasticity on multilayer polymer extrusion is discussed. In these
coextrusion processes predetermined patterns are created with a remarkable breadth of …

The development of secondary motions due to the nonzero second normal stress difference
is observed and analyzed by tracking the motion of the interface between two batches of the …

This paper gives a review of the finite element techniques (FE) applied in the area of
material processing. The latest trends in metalforming, non‐metal forming and powder …

The interfacial deformation and stability of two-(AB) as well as three-layer symmetric (ABA)
and asymmetric (ABC) pressure-driven flow of viscoelastic fluids has been investigated …

Numerical simulations have been carried out for the extrudate swell problem in three-
dimensional domains. The finite element method is used with streamline elements, which …

In recent years coextrusion process had gained wide recognition as an approach to
achieving high quality or quantity and low costs by multilayered system as well as an …
