Stimulus-Responsive Shrinkage in Electrospun Membranes: Fundamentals and Control [PDF]
Shrinkage is observed in many electrospun membranes. The stretched conformation of the macromolecular chains has been proposed as the possible cause. However, so far, our understanding of the fundamentals is still qualitative and cannot provide much help

Free shrinkage of wood determined at the cellular level using an environmental scanning electron microscope [PDF]
The shrinkage at the cellular level was determined in the transverse plane of wood using an environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM). The whole procedure is based on pairs of images grabbed with the same imaging conditions (magnification ...

Influence of Root Gap and Tack Weld on Transverse Shrinkage during Welding [PDF]
Welding distortion is caused by the local shrinkage produced during the welding thermal cycle. The local shrinkage can be separated into four components, namely transverse shrinkage, longitudinal shrinkage, transverse bending and longitudinal bending.

Investigation of transverse crack spacing in an asphalt pavement with a semi-rigid base
Transverse cracking is a serious problem for semi-rigid base asphalt pavement. The shrinkage of the base course and the surface course, as well as reflective cracks, are key factors for transverse cracking in asphalt pavement.

Investigation on temperature shrinkage characteristics of the combined structure in asphalt pavement
The temperature shrinkage of materials primarily causes transverse cracking. Current research mainly focuses on the temperature shrinkage of single materials. This work aims to analyze the effect of the structural combination on temperature shrinkage. To

Use of wood shrinkage characteristics in breeding of fast-grown Acacia auriculiformis A. Cunn. ex Benth in Vietnam [PDF]
Genotypic variation in wood total and partial shrinkage, basic density and growth traits was estimated in 51/2 year old Acacia auriculiformis trees in a clonal test.In the tangential, radial and longitudinal directions, the mean values were 2.64%, 1.64 ...
