ETPL 4445 - Advanced Processing 2

Credits: 4
Applies the theory developed in ETPL 3345 to unsteady-state (cyclic) polymer processes: blow-, injection-, rotational- and compression molding, plus thermoforming. Explores unsteady-state heat transfer in injection-, rotational-, and blow molding, and elongational flows (fibre spinning). Revisits the blown film and blow-molding processes in greater depth. Introduces additional concepts in stress analysis, the mechanical behavior of shells, and bending of beams and applies these to the prediction of the mechanical behavior of polymers in a variety of applications, including snap fit connections.Prereq: ETPL 3345 $
