Notes:
In the rolling of Plastic sheet the viscous work gives rise to heating of the plastic sheet. The maximum temperature reached in the interior of the sheet during shearing is of the interest, both in the theoretical calculation of roll pressure, and from the point of view of possible thermal decomposition effects. A calculation is given for a simple, some-what artificial, model, which leads to an upper value for this maximum temperature if a measurement of the average temperature of the emergent sheet is given. The model taken is that of an infinite sheet, of thickness 2δ, in which heat is continuously liberated at the rate of 4ηφ2 cal. cc. -1 sec. -1, where φ is the relevant value of the rate of compression (assumed constant across the sheet). The curve giving the temperature distribution across the sheet is calculated numerically for two cases; it is relatively flat, as would be expected on physical grounds, since the viscosity, η, decreases as the temperature rises. It is concluded that these thermal effects may be neglected in the calculation of roll pressure in Part 1.
