...Adam Gnatowski; Agnieszka Kijo-Kleczkowska; Rafał Gołębski; Kamil Mirek Purpose The issues concerning the prediction of changes in properties of polymer materials as a result of adding reinforcing fibers are currently widely discussed in the field of polymer material processing. This paper aims...

...A.L. Perou; J.M. Vergnaud Studies are made on food three‐layer packages, where a contaminated recycled polymer layer is located between two virgin polymer layers. As the thick food packages are made by pressing the polymer layers in a mould kept at around the melting temperature of the polymer...

...D. Ding; P. Townsend; M.F. Webster Considers the filling stage of an injection moulding process for polymer melts through a transient finite element method. Presents results for a thin‐walled cup‐shaped mould problem. Adopts a generalized Newtonian formulation for inelastic non‐isothermal...

...D. Ding; P. Townsend; M.F. Webster In this article we report on progress in the development of software tools for fluid flow prediction in the polymer processing industry. This involves state‐of‐the‐art numerical techniques and the study of a number of non‐trivial model flow problems, in an effort...
