Visual studies on rice bran extrusion

Abstract

This paper presents to make use of visualization technique to study the process of extrusion and extrusion assembly, the visual phenomena indicate that material transportation underlying the extrusion course is a combination of two transportations, one is positive displacement pumping transportation in the intermeshing region, and the other is partially filled transportation in the translation region. Virtual assembly technique is used to design the extrusion assembly, and interference is checked, and animations are created to demonstrate assembly sequence and path. This product has been designed successfully by computer in virtual environment. © 2006 International Federation for Information Processing.
