This book presents a summary of the most important formulas and their applications to solve design and processing problems with plastics materials. Numerous practical examples guide the reader step-by-step through the computational routine of designing polymer machinery. The approach is unassuming and very practical to enable every engineer to apply these concepts in their daily work and improve their equipment and stabilize their processes.

Engineering

Whether working on product design or process optimization, engineers need a multitude of polymer property values. This book provides a quick reference on basic design data for resins, machines, parts, and processes, and shows how to apply these data to solve practical problems. Numerous examples are given to illustrate the appropriate applications of the data presented. Readers can carry out calculations using a handheld calculator.

Design Data for Plastics Engineers

O'Brien, Keith

The plastics engineer working on the shop floor in a plastics manufacturing plant often needs quick answers to questions such as why the extruder output is low or whether he can expect better quality product by changing the resin or if the die pressure can be lowered. Applying state-of-the art numerical software to address these issues is time consuming and costly. Starting from practical design formulas that are easily applicable, and yet take the resin rheology into account, this book provides answers to these questions quickly and effectively by guiding the user step by step through the computational procedures on the basis of illustrative technical examples. Problems related to melt fracture, homogeneity of the melt, effect of screw geometry on the quality of the melt and the effect of die pressure on the pellet surface and their troubleshooting are only few of the topics among many that are dealt with in detail. All the calculations involved can be handled by pocket calculators and hence can be performed right on the site where the machines are running. This guide is a valuable tool not only to troubleshoot but also to estimate the effect of design and process parameters on the product quality in plastics processing.

Understanding Plastics Engineering Calculations: Hands-on Examples and Case Studies

Hanser Publications

Much more than a data reference, this book uses numerous examples to show how to apply basic design data to solve practical problems in polymer engineering. It offers both resin and up-to-date machine design data in a concise format and shows how resin-compatible polymer processing equipment can be designed by using easily understandable computational procedures based on thermodynamics and rheology. Basic design data for resins (mechanical, thermal, rheological, electrical, and optical properties), machines, parts, and processes is complemented by demonstrations of how to apply this data for application in extrusion, blown film, thermoforming, and injection molding. It is designed for simplicity, and all calculations can be carried out with a handheld calculator. With a practical and time-saving approach to problem-solving in plastics processing―which in many cases negates the need for complex, expensive software or databases―this book is a handy tool for beginners, practicing engineers, students, instructors in the field of plastics technology, and scientists from other fields with an interest in polymer engineering.
