The  book provides the most complete and coherent picture of draw resonance instability that is available so far in literature, treating all physical aspects together in a consistent and unprecedented way. The argumentation focuses on the physics underlying the observed phenomena, which comprise gravity, inertia, surface tension (for fibre spinning), necking (for film casting), viscoelasticity and thermal effects, all intricately affecting the threshold of the draw resonance. Thus, for the first time,  the (de-)stabilizing mechanisms of draw resonance are unraveled, while many stability maps are provided for practical use.

To complete the educational aspect, input files for the free software AUTO-07p are made available online, allowing readers to obtain most of the data provided in the monograph.
An indispensable book for graduate students, researchers and professionals in material processing.
