Finite element analysis of calendering
Abstract
Abstract The general equations describing the flow of Newtonian and non‐Newtonian fluids in the gap of two calender rolls were simplified by making use of the lubrication approximation. The resulting equations were solved by the finite element method. The results are in excellent agreement with existing analytical solutions for Newtonian fluids. New results were obtained for pressure, velocity profiles and sheet thickness of non‐Newtonian …
