Abstract
On the basis of a brief analysis of well known normal-stress calculation methods, the necessity of improved models of prediction is elaborated. A modified form of the so-called mirror relation which meets these requirements is presented. In combination with the Carreau viscosity equation, an analytical solution is given which leads to a Carreau normal-stress coefficient equation and, thus, to a simple method of calculation. The comparison between measured normal stresses and those determined by experiments shows that the values calculated in accordance with the presented method agree well with the measured values, especially within the range of high shear rates. The parametersβ andK to be selected for this purpose are determined in dependence on the slope of the viscosity functionα 1 at high shear rates for each polymer individually, using empirical relations so that the global selection of parameters, which is common practice with other methods, is obviated. In an appendix a method for deriving the relations between material functions on the basis of operator calculation is given.
