Abstract

The nonlinear stability analysis of viscoelastic fibers is presented. The molten fiber is modeled as a Maxwellian viscoelastic fluid and the zeroth order equations governing its behavior given. Linear stability analysis is performed to determine the influence of winder speed and impedance as well as viscosity and elasticity. The results of numerical solution of the nonlinear equations are given.
