Let us emphasize that not model can be presented as a minimization problem like (1.55) or (1.57). Thus, elastoplastic problems considered in Chapter 5 can be formulated as variational inequalities, but we do not consider any minimization problems in plasticity. In all cases, we have to study variational problems or variational inequalities. It is a principal topic of the following two sections. As for general variational principles in mechanics and physics we refer the reader to (Washizu, 1968 Chernous ko, Banichuk, 1973 Ekeland, Temam, 1976 Telega, 1987 Panagiotopoulos, 1985 Morel, Solimini, 1995). 

Eoamable compositions in which the pressure within the cells is increased relative to that of the surroundings have generally been called expandable formulations. Both chemical and physical processes are used to stabilize plastic foams from expandable formulations. There is no single name for the group of cellular plastics produced by the decompression processes. The various operations used to make cellular plastics by this principle are extmsion, injection mol ding, and compression molding. Either physical or chemical methods may be used to stabilize products of the decompression process. 

Two approaches have been taken to produce metal-matrix composites (qv) incorporation of fibers into a matrix by mechanical means and in situ preparation of a two-phase fibrous or lamellar material by controlled solidification or heat treatment. The principles of strengthening for alloys prepared by the former technique are well estabUshed (24), primarily because yielding and even fracture of these materials occurs while the reinforcing phase is elastically deformed. Under these conditions both strength and modulus increase linearly with volume fraction of reinforcement. However, the deformation of in situ, ie, eutectic, eutectoid, peritectic, or peritectoid, composites usually involves some plastic deformation of the reinforcing phase, and this presents many complexities in analysis and prediction of properties. 

Interaction Parameters. Early attempts to describe PVC—plasticizer compatibiHty were based on the same principles as used to describe solvation, ie, like dissolves like (2). To obtain a quantitative measure of PVC—plasticizer compatibihty a number of different parameters have been used. More recently these methods have been assessed and extended by many workers (7—9). In all cases it is not possible to adequately predict the behavior of polymeric plasticizers. 

Different types of PVC exist on the market. The two principle types are suspension and paste-forrning PVC the latter includes the majority of emulsion PVC polymers. The plasticizer appHcations technologies associated with these two forms are distinctly different and are discussed separately. Details of the polymerization techniques giving rise to these two distinct polymer types can be found in many review articles (5,28) (see ViNYLPOLYMERS, (VINYL Cm ORIDE POLYPffiRS)). 

Reverse cleaners operate on the same principles as forward cleaners (20). Contaminants less dense than water migrate toward the center of the cleaner and exit as a separate (reject) stream from the pulp slurry. Reverse cleaners are used to remove adhesive and plastic particles as well as paper filler particles and lightweight particles formed from paper coatings. 

Pellet Mills Pellet mills operate on the principle shown in Fig. 20-92. Moist, plastic feed is pushed through holes in dies of various shapes. The friction of the material in the die holes supplies the resistance necessary for compaction. Adjustable knives shear the rodlike extrudates into pellets of the desired length. Although several designs are in use, the most commonly used pellet mills operate by applying power to the die and rotating it around a freely turning roller with Fixed horizontal or vertical axis.
