Abstract
The extensional flow behavior of a Nylon 6 based engineering plastic filled with short glass fibers was characterized using a Meissner-type uniaxial extensional rheometer. The fiber orientation distributions of the resin samples at various Hencky strains were also determined by X-ray microradiography and image analysis techniques. The uniaxial extensional stress growth function was found to be intimately related to the orientation distribution function of the fibers.
