[1] Historical perspective on modelling of processing of polymer composites, Suresh G. Advani, Christophe Binetruy, ISBN:[9780443341205, 9780443341199], Elsevier (2026), doi:10.1016/B978-0-443-34119-9.00017-6

History of modelling of composites manufacturing processes can be traced back to modelling of polymer processes. Extrusion to process thermoplastics was first used in Germany in 1935, and it was not until 1962 that McKelvey in his book on Polymer Processing formalised modelling of polymer processes such as extrusion and injection moulding in a text book. Traditionally, composite manufacturing foll...

[2] Vertical vibrations of granular materials between two parallel horizontal walls, J. M. Bourinet, D. Le Houedec, ISBN:[9789054108849, 9781040897997], CRC Press (2026), doi:10.1201/9781003761693-98

This paper presents some results on vertical harmonic vibrations of granular materials between two flat horizontal parallel walls. A sine sweep analysis is made at constant base wall acceleration (frequency: 60 to 2500Hz, acceleration level: 0.5 to 10ms2 rms). Pressure exerted by the granular material on top and base walls and their respective accelerations have been measured (apparent masses have...
