Extrusion Dies for Plastics and Rubber.. Design and Engineering Computations

This book presents a concise look at the range of dies used for extrusion of plastics and elastomers. Fundamental and computational procedures are described. Attention is given to theoretical tools such as the finite element method. The mechanical configuration, handling, and maintenance are discussed. Partial - Introduction - Properties of Polymeric Melts - Equations for Simple Flows - Computations of Velocity and Temperature Distributions - Monoextrusion Dies for Thermoplastics - Coextrusion Dies - Extrusion Dies for Elastomers - Heating of Extrusion Dies - Mechanical Design - Calibration of Pipes and Profiles - Index “...addressed to professionals to help them in their daily work and for students to introduce them to the complex world of extrusion dies and provide them with an extensive orientation.” Polymer News " ...this is a very good book. Certainly it is the best book available related to extrusion dies." J.L. White, PPS International
