Subject of Research
Processing of polymer and ceramic materials, pastes, and foods in extrusion and calendering often accompanied with surface instabilities will be analyzed by a method of digital data processing. Using fractal approach, the unifying - material and process invariant - characteristics describing surface quality will be determined.
Research Goals
- to adapt a method of digital image processing for analyzing surface irregularities/defects in extrusion and calendering of polymers, pastes, and ceramic materials;
- unification of quantitative and qualitative characteristics of surface instabilities for the cases above based on fractal analysis of digitized visualization;
- experimental verification of unified fractal criteria quantifying surface instabilities
