Abstract
A method is disclosed for exerting a stress tensor on moldable material in a mold cavity. The method involves the steps of feeding a moldable material from a feeder to an accumulator. The material is preferably melted prior to accumulation within the accumulator so as to form a material flow. After at least a portion of the accumulator is filled, an oscillatory force is applied on the molten material in accordance with a predetermined program. A predetermined amount of material is then fed from the accumulator to a mold cavity through a mold inlet. The temperature of the mold is controlled in accordance with a predetermined program while an oscillatory force is applied to the material. The solidified article is then removed from the mold.
