Calendering is the process in which molten material is dragged through the nip region to
produce a film or sheet. By nip region, we mean the area between two corotating rolls. Here …

Nonlinear viscoelastic properties of the MR fluid, MRF-132LD, under large-amplitude
oscillatory shear were investigated. This was accomplished by carrying out the experiments …

To solidify plastic pipe, the pipe is transported through a long cooling chamber. Inside this
chamber, inside the pipe, the plastic remains molten, and this inner surface solidifies last …

This is a comprehensive review of local direct measurement shear stress transducers.
Transducers are first classified by their movement, measuring mode, and mechanism. These …

When plastic pipe is solidified, it proceeds through a long cooling chamber. Inside the
chamber, inside the extrudate, the plastic is molten, and this inner surface solidifies last. Sag …

When plastic pipe is solidified, it proceeds through a long cooling chamber. Inside this
chamber, inside the hollow extrudate, the plastic is molten, and this inner surface solidifies …

In viscoelastic property measurements, material is subjected to time unsteady deformations
using a rheometer. In step shear strain experiments, for example, the shear strain suddenly …

Rheology†, a study of flow and deformation of matter, described the interrelation between
force, deformation, and time. It is a wide discipline including classical fluid mechanics and …

The purpose of this research is to understand the transient fiber orientation and the
associated rheology of long glass fiber (> 1mm) reinforced polypropylene, in a well-defined …

For highly viscous fluids that slip in parallel sliding plate rheometers, we want to use a
slightly converging flow to suppress this wall slip. In this work, we first attack the steady …
