Characteristics of Restrained Drying Shrinkage on Arched Steel Fiber-Reinforced Concrete
Applied Sciences, 2021 The volumetric changes of concrete, including drying shrinkage, are effectively controlled in steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) mixtures due to the action of the included steel fiber.

THE INFLUENCE OF SHRINKAGE ON DRYING BEHAVIOUR OF CLAYS [PDF]
Drying Technology, 1994 A correct description of the evolution of moisture concn. profiles in shrinking materials is complicated by the influence of shrinkage on mass transfer. Shrinkage has to be accounted for in the diffusion equation. Simulations have been performed for three types of shrinkage: isotropic, unidirectional and no shrinkage.

DRYING ACCOMPANIED WITH SHRINKAGE-II
NIPPON SUISAN GAKKAISHI, 1962 All of the existing theories of drying of a solid body have neglected the effect of the decrease of thickness due to the loss of water from the solid during drying. This decrease, however, seems to become noticeable for the case of fresh fish muscle.

On the Shrinkage and Stiffening of a Cellulose Sponge Upon Drying [PDF]
Journal of Applied Mechanics, 2013 Everyone can observe the peculiar effect of water on a sponge: upon drying, a sponge shrinks and stiffens; it swells and softens upon wetting. In this work, we aim to explain and model this behavior by using the Biot–Coussy poromechanical framework. We measure the volume and the bulk modulus of sponges at different water contents.

Effect of process parameters on quality properties and drying time of hawthorn in a vibro-fluidized bed dryer [PDF]
Journal of Particle Science and Technology, 2017 The drying kinetics of hawthorn in a pilot-scale experimental fluidized bed dryer with and without vibration was investigated. The effect of operating parameters, such as vibration intensity, drying air flow rate, and temperature, on the drying rate and ...
