3D Features in the Calendering of Thermoplastics: A Computational Investigation
Polychronopoulos, N. D.; Sarris, I. E.; Papathanasiou, T. D. (2014)We present results of a fully three-dimensional computational study of the calendering process of thermoplastics using the fluid dynamics software OpenFOAM. Our aim is to elucidate unique 3D features of the process, such ... -
Pin-assisted resin infiltration of porous substrates
Polychronopoulos, N. D.; Papathanasiou, T. D. (2015)We analyze computationally the process of pin-assisted resin infiltration of porous substrates. In such a process, a porous substrate is pulled over a staggered array of stationary pins. A wedge-shaped fluid region forms ... -
A study on the effect of drawing on extrudate swell in film casting
Polychronopoulos, N. D.; Papathanasiou, T. D. (2015)We present a numerical study of the film casting process, with a focus on the effect of the draw ratio on the swelling of the extruded sheet. So far, studies regarding film casting have dealt mainly with the phenomenon of ...
