Abstract: | The solution of the problem of flow in the roll gap of a polymeric system whose rheological behavior is described by Leonov's thixotropic model is presented. Analytical expressions are obtained for specific pressures, thrusts, and torques under transient rolling conditions, which permitted developing a method of calculating the maximum values of the energy and force characteristics.Lensovet Leningrad Technological Institute.
