A theory of isothermal melt spinning and draw resonance

Abstract
The mechanics of isothermal melt spinning are studied for a viscoelastic liquid with a power law viscosity and a constant shear modulus. Steady state velocities and stresses are in agreement with experiment. The onset of the draw resonance instability, the magnitude of diameter fluctuations in the unstable region, and a second stable region at high draw ratio are predicted accurately.
