Abstract
The die-swell phenomenon is found, for example, in the extrusion of plastics. It manifests itself as a change in the form of the material after it leaves the die, thus influencing the final dimensions of the product. The aim of this paper is to suggest a way of obtaining a model for the description of die-swell. The amount of the die-swell consists of two contributions. The first one is caused by a redistribution of the velocity profile, the other one arises from the elastic properties of the material.
