Problem Statement

There exist a large number of industrial applications which involve the extrusion of aerated composite materials through an orifice, such as styrofoam, insulation and confectionery. Often such delicate structures change due to shear and pressure fields experienced on extrusion. The Study Group was asked to investigate the influence of these shear and pressure fields on the structure of aerated composite materials, particularly the degree of aeration retained.
