Abstract

In the industrial film casting process with the two-stage cascade (velocity and tension controlled) loop, various aspects of nonlinear dynamics and chaotic motion have been investigated solving simple 1-D viscoelasticmodel. Most of the extensional deformation processes exhibit sustained-periodic oscillations orstable limit cycles of state variables (called draw resonance instability) beyond the critical onset, even if they are conventionally controlled systems. Besides such well-known instability, some intriguing nonlinear dynamic phenomena such as period-doubling and eventual chaotic motion of film thickness and width could be observed when a disturbance is imposed in the second tension-controlled system. In other words, the bifurcation mode is dramatically changed by a sinusoidal disturbance under the combined velocity-tension control condition in contrast to only constant take-up velocity condition inducing a supercritical Hopf bifurcation of draw resonance.
