    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Es wird der Effekt der Erwärmung einer Potenzflüssigkeit infolge viskoser Reibung in einem Kapillar-Rheometer mittels einer Störungsrechnung untersucht, die auf der Unterteilung der Strömung in eine Grenzschicht und einen Kern basiert. Diese Störungsentwicklung ergänzt eine früher von anderen Autoren gefundene Reihenentwicklung mit Hilfe von Eigenfunktionen. Eine ähnliche Untersuchung wird für die thermische Ausdehnungsarbeit durchgeführt. Diese beiden thermischen Effekte sind zusammen einem dritten Störeffekt superponiert, der von der Druckabhängigkeit der Viskosität herrührt. Aufgrund der vorgelegten Theorie werden verschiedene auf diesem Gebiet früher durchgeführte Arbeiten diskutiert, und es werden in einigen Fällen offensichtliche Ungenauigkeiten und Folgewidrigkeiten aufgedeckt. Schließlich wird eine Methode zur Korrektur von Meßdaten mit Hilfe der vorliegenden Theorie angegeben.
    Notes: Summary The effect of viscous heating in a capillary rheometer is analysed for a power-law fluid by means of a perturbation expansion based upon a boundary-layer-core structure. This expansion is found to complement the eigenfunction series solution obtained by earlier investigators. A similar analysis is presented for the “work-of-expansion” effect. These two thermal effects are superimposed together with a third perturbation effect due to the pressure dependence of viscosity. On the basis of the present theory, earlier work in this area is discussed and, in some cases, apparent inaccuracies or inconsistencies are pointed out. A means is indicated for correcting data on the basis of the present theory.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Das idealisierte Problem einer eindimensionalen, instationären, nicht-isothermen Strömung eines Polymeren zwischen zwei parallelen Platten sowie das der nichtisothermen Relaxation, die auf das Anhalten dieser Strömung folgt, wird mit Hilfe der viskoelastischen Stoffgleichung vonLeonov gelöst. Numerische Ergebnisse werden für die Zeitabhängigkeit der folgenden Größen gegeben: des Druckgradienten, der Verteilung der linearen Geschwindigkeit, der Schergeschwindigkeit, der Schubspannung, der Normalspannungsdifferenzen sowie der Komponenten der Doppelbrechung in verschiedenen Ebenen. Die hier vorliegenden Voraussagen sind bezüglich des Druckgradienten in guter Ubereinstimmung mit denen, die auf dem “inelastischen“ Modell beruhen, unterscheiden sich von diesen aber wesentlich bezüglich der Normalspannungsdifferenzen. Das Modell wird auf den Spritzgußprozeß angewandt. Dieser wird als zweistufiger Prozeß, bestehend aus einer Abfüll- und einer Kühlstufe, behandelt. Numerische Ergebnisse werden für die Verteilung der Restspannungen und der assoziierten Doppelbrechung im Formteil gegeben, so wie sie durch die rheologischen und thermischen Eigenschaften des Polymeren und der Prozeßbedingungen beeinflußt werden. Die theoretischen Voraussagen für die Doppelbrechung werden mit Meßergebnissen aus der Literatur verglichen. Gute Übereinstimmung wird für die Lage und den Wert der maximalen Doppelbrechung in der 1–2 Ebene erzielt, während die Voraussagen für die Werte der Doppelbrechung in den 1–3 und 2–3 Ebenen wesentlich kleiner als die gemessenen Werte ausfallen. Die vorliegende Theorie zeigt an, daß für ein gegebenes Polymer die Schmelzentemperatur und die Einspritzgeschwindigkeit als Hauptfaktoren zu werten sind, die die Restspannungen und die Doppelbrechung beeinflussen. Diese sollen auf dem höchstzulässigen Stand gehalten werden.
    Notes: Summary By using theLeonov viscoelastic constitutive equation, an idealized problem has been solved for onedimensional, unsteady, non-isothermal flow of polymer between two parallel plates and the subsequent non-isothermal relaxation following cessation of flow. Numerical results are presented for the time dependence of the pressure gradient, the gapwise distribution of linear velocity, shear rate, shear stress and normalstress differences, together with the components of birefringence in different planes. Comparison of the present predictions for the pressure gradient with results based upon an “inelastic” model indicate close agreement whereas the corresponding predictions for normal-stress differences are found to be markedly different from those for the “inelastic” case. The model is applied to the injection-molding process which is treated in terms of a filling and a cooling stage. Final results are given in terms of the distribution of residual stresses and associated birefringences in the molded part, as influenced by the rheological and thermal properties of the polymer and the processing conditions. The theoretical predictions are compared with birefringence measurements in the literature. Reasonable agreement is obtained for the position and value of maximum birefringence in the 1–2 plane although the birefringence predictions in the 1–3 and 2–3 planes are found to be markedly smaller than the measured values. The present theory indicates that, for a given polymer, the main factors affecting residual stresses and birefringence are melt temperature and flow rate, both of which should be held at the highest permissible levels.

    Notes: Abstract Finite-element results are presented for the extra pressure loss for a power-law fluid due to an abrupt contraction of ratio 2, 4, 8 and ∞ for both the axisymmetric and planar cases. Contrary to earlier results in the literature, it is found that the variational result of Duda and Vrentas forms a very good upper bound for the axisymmetric case, even for small values of the power-law index. This variational method has now been extended to the planar case, where it is again found to form a very good upper bound.

    Notes: Abstract Based upon a compilation of steady-shear and dynamic-shear viscosity data from the literature for polystyrene melts, an assessment has been made concerning the relative merits of the Cross and Carreau models in describing the shear-rate dependence of such viscosities. It is shown that the Cross model is decidedly more appropriate for PS of BMWD. Based upon master plots, it is demonstrated that the Cox-Merz relation applies to PS of both BMWD and NMWD. It is also shown that the Cox-Merz relation applies even into the second-Newtonian regime, withη ∞ being independent ofM w and MWD. In addition, the applicability of the Prest-Porter-O'Reilly relationship between shear viscosity and recoverable shear compliance is corroborated in the case of PS of NMWD.

    Notes: A simulation of planar 2D flow of a viscoelastic fluid employing the Leonov constitutive equation has been presented. Triangular finite elements with lower-order interpolations have been employed for velocity and pressure as well as the extra stress tensor arising from the constitutive equation. A generalized Lesaint-Raviart method has been used for an upwind discretization of the material derivative of the extra stress tensor in the constitutive equation. The upwind scheme has been further strengthened in our code by also introducing a non-consistent streamline upwind Petrov-Galerkin method to modify the weighting function of the material derivative term in the variational form of the constitutive equation. A variational equation for configurational incompressibility of the Leonov model has also been satisfied explicitly.The corresponding software has been used to simulate planar 2D entrance flow for a 4:1 abrupt contraction up to a Deborah number of 670 (Weissenberg number of 6·71) for a rubber compound using a three-mode Leonov model. The predicted entrance loss is found to be in good agreement with experimental results from the literature. Corresponding comparisons for a commercial-grade polystyrene, however, indicate that the predicted entrance loss is low by a factor of about four, indicating a need for further investigation. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: The unified numerical simulation of the filling/postfilling stages of the injection-molding process described in Part I is compared in the present paper with experimental results obtained with instrumented test molds. Flush-mounted pressure traces in the delivery system as well as in the cavity are favorably compared with corresponding predictions for both an amorphous and a semicrystalline polymer. It is demonstrated that the present unified formulation is well suited to handle complicated molds where compressibility effects can become important even during the filling stage, as portions of the cavity fill and undergo a packing behavior even when other regions of the cavity are still only partially filled.

    Notes: A theoretical and experimental investigation is presented for filling thin cavities of variable gap thickness. The modeling is based upon a finite-element/finite-difference formulation for an inelastic power-law fluid and includes the effects of viscous heating and conduction upon the flow dynamics. Extensive results are presented for polypropylene and polystyrene melts injected into two variable-gap-thickness cavities, of which one has an insert. Good agreement is found between the predictions and measurements concerning the shape of the advancing melt front, the location of weld lines, and the temporal pressure trace at various positions in the cavity.

    Notes: Steady-shear-viscosity data sets for commercial-grade acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene terpolymer, nylon, polycarbonate, poly(methylmethacrylate), and polystyrence are fitted in terms of a generalized Cross/Carreau modeling for the shear-rate dependence. Based upon extensive data sets from the open literature as well as in-house measurements, it is shown that the shear-rate dependence can be more accurately described in terms of the Cross rather than Carreau model. Although the resulting viscosity fits based upon these two models might differ by 20% or more for the same well-characterized data set, the resulting effect upon simulating the injection-molding process is found to be much smaller since such predictions reflect a range of shear stresses (varying linearly from centerline to wall of cavity) over which the two models alternate in relative magnitude. This is demonstrated by detailed representative numerical predictions which are presented for both the filling and post-filling stages.

    Notes: This study employs a unified theoretical model to simulate the filling and postfilling stages of the injection-molding process. Implementation of such a model is based on a hybrid finite-element/finite-difference numerical solution of the generalized Hele-Shaw flow of a compressible viscous fluid under nonisothermal conditions. The shear viscosity of the polymeric material is represented by a Cross model for the shear-rate dependence and a WLF-type functional form for the temperature and pressure dependence, whereas the specific volume is modeled in terms of a double-domain Tait equation. The analysis also handles variable specific heat and thermal conductivity of the polymer as a function of temperature. Complex thin parts of variable thickness can be modeled and discretized by flat, triangular finite elements which may have arbitrary orientation in three-dimensional space, whereas runners and possible round pins or bosses in the part are represented as one-dimensional circular-tube elements. A control-volume scheme is employed that leads to automatic melt-front advancement during the cavity-filling stage.

    Notes: Entrance pressure losses for the creeping flow of a power-law fluid are calculated for an abrupt contraction of ratio 2, 4, 8 and ∞ for both the axisymmetric and planar cases using P2P1 and P+2P1 finite elements. Contrary to some earlier findings in the literature, the entrance pressure loss obtained by using the two different types of finite elements, both of which satisfy the Babus̆ka-Brezzi condition, are found to converge to the same results. The present results also confirm that the variational method of Duda and Vrentas gives excellent upper bounds for both the axisymmetric and planar cases with infinite contraction ratio.
