The primary objective of this research paper is to control the material and process defects in
polymer melt extrusion film casting (EFC) process for linear chain architecture polyethylene …

The fractional calculus approach in the constitutive relationship model of viscoelastic fluid is
introduced. For the first time, unsteady fractional Phan Thien Tanner fluid is modeled, which …

The relevance of upstream contraction for extrudate swell behavior of polymer melts is
numerically investigated for slit dies with an aspect ratio of 10 and a length-to-height ratio …

The flow through a 4: 1 planar contraction has been investigated using different rheological
models having the same shear viscosity, namely, the inelastic Carreau-Yasuda model (CY) …

The impact of the inlet velocity profile at the die exit on the film dynamics within the air-gap
region was investigated using numerical simulations for both Newtonian and viscoelastic …

Commercially important extrusion film casting (EFC) processes for manufacturing plastic
films or sheets are hampered by several instabilities that severely limits their productivity. In …

The primary objective of this research paper is to detect and quantify the necking defect and
surface velocity profiles in high-speed polymer melt extrusion film casting (EFC) process …

In this paper, the influence of non-Newtonian material properties on the draw resonance
instability in film casting is investigated. Viscoelastic models of infinite width film casting are …

This study represents the design and optimization procedure of a multi-lumen tube used for
endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) catheter. The geometry of tip and …

abstract Injection moulded specimens were produced from biodegradable poly (butylene
