Most ceramists own a pugmill or hand extruder and view it as simply a utilitarian device for making handles or coils. But the extruder can be the starting point for a variety of inventive and creative works of art. Extruder experts Tom and Jean Latka teach the basics of extruder use as well as how to make your own dies. Step-by-step projects include napkin rings, vases, umbrella stands, wine coolers, planters, sconce lighting, platters, sculpture, and more.

- 12 projects with step-by-step instructions
- Photo gallery of works by skilled, creative, and talented artists
- Solid and hollow extrusions
- Additive or subtractive methods of construction for pottery and sculpture.

On the First Edition:

"The book is a success in providing a comprehensive introduction to the use of aluminum structures . . . contains lots of useful information "
—Materials & Manufacturing Processes

"A must for the aluminum engineer. The authors are to be commended for their painstaking work."
—Light Metal Age

Technical guidance and inspiration for designing aluminum structures
Aluminum Structures, Second Edition demonstrates how strong, lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum opens up a whole new world of design possibilities for engineering and architecture professionals. Keyed to the revised Specification for Aluminum Structures of the 2000 edition of the Aluminum Design Manual, it provides quick look-up tables for design calculations; examples of recently built aluminum structures-from buildings to bridges; and a comparison of aluminum to other structural materials, particularly steel. Topics covered include:

• Structural properties of aluminum alloys
• Aluminum structural design for beams, columns, and tension members
• Extruding and other fabrication techniques
• Welding and mechanical connections
• Aluminum structural systems, including space frames, composite members, and plate structures
• Inspection and testing
• Load and resistance factor design
• Recent developments in aluminum structures

Pro/Engineer 2001 Assistant provides the reader with the same kind of useful information for mastering Pro/Engineer as its counterpart, Kelley's Pro/E Instructor, does. However, the 2001 Assistant provides the option of a more streamlined delivery. With its compact form, it is excellent for use with any graphics course where Pro/Engineer is not covered extensively in the classroom but is expected to be used during the course. It is also well suited for use in upper division courses..

From the author: The purpose of this study is to gain better understanding of flow patterns and mixing conditions in a particular single-screw extruder: the Buss Cokneader. To this end, the residence time distribution (RTD) of the polymer was investigated experimentally for different combinations of the operating variables (i.e. feed rate. screw rotation speed). The measurement of RTD used a standard stimulus-response technique. Two kinds of tracer were used: free anthracene and anthracene grafted on the polymer. It was shown that only the second could characterize the actual flow of the polymer in the extruder. It does not perturb the flow and has the same rheological behavior as the studied fluid. Thanks to the RTD data, a model of the extruder based on the combination of ideal reactors, such as continuous stirred tank reactors or plug flow reactors, was finally set up. The establishment of relationships between model parameters and extrusion conditions allowed the prediction of RTD with good agreement.
