It is worth noting that the radial shrinkage of Mo-Cu composites is always higher than the axial shrinkage.

It also reduces radial shrinkage, enabling cycle-time reductions in extrusion blow molding and injection molding of some parts.
Polyolefin additives: pushing the limits in films & molded parts: advances in nucleators, compatibilizers, fillers, stabilizers, and more elevate performance of polyolefins
Notice that equations of strains and stresses for restraint hydrate process of the ring are also able to be used in the case of uniform radial shrinkage by reforming the constitutive equation for uniform shrinkage:
Cracking tendency prediction of high-performance cementitious materials
The molar ratios between the precursors (MR/FA, MR/Cat, W/MR or H/FA, H/Cat, methanol/H) were optimized, taking into account the final density, the preparation time and the radial shrinkage during drying.
Low-density organic aerogels from oil shale by-product 5-methylresorcinol
Before and after the drying, the bulk gels were measured and their radial shrinkage and density were calculated.
Preparation of nanostructured carbon materials/Nanostruktuurse susinikaerogeeli valmistamine
Percent radial shrinkage (given in negative values) was calculated for 10 min time steps by relating the total radial shrinkage (digital gauge, accuracy 1 [micro]m) to the total coupling pressure decrease.
Acoustic emissions related to the dehydration stress behavior of green Norway spruce wood
Even quarter-sawn boards (radial shrinkage) move significantly across the grain (Figure 8).
Wood is good ... but strange
wood expands and contracts with changing humidity levels, while mortar does not." White cedar has the lowest coefficient of expansion and contraction ("radial shrinkage"), at 2.2%, of any of the common woods.
Rob Roy responds to the ongoing "cordwood discussion"
Since it's the radial shrinkage that is going across the width of the board, quarter-sawn boards also shrink less in width than flat-sawn boards.
Why wood moves through all four seasons
Nevertheless, in the nodal area, the bent vascular bundle can enhance the resistance to radial shrinkage. Razak et al.
