Abstract:

In order to investigate the effect of vibration force field on the melting process in a single-screw extruder,a simplified 2 D dynamic melting model is established by adopting the assumption of”flowing solid”and the theory of hydrokinetics to solve the problem in the whole melting region.Thus,the problems of phase change and the so-lid-melt interface track are successfully solved. Moreover,as the melting process is of a non-isothermal phase change and the polymer presents time-dependent nonlinear viscoelastic characteristics in vibration force field, a self-amended non-isothermal Maxwell viscoelastic constitutive model that reflects the relaxation time spectrum of the polymer is developed.The dynamic melting process is finally simulated,followed by the analysis of the effects of vi-bration frequency and amplitude on the melting process.

Key words: vibration force field, single screw, dynamic melting, numerical simulation, relaxation time spectrum, non-isothermal viscoelastic c0nstitutive model
