The compaction behavior of dry reinforcements has been the subject of much previous research work. However the research was mainly carried out for the Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) process where the compaction pressure goes up to 1 MPa, and higher compaction rates are involved. In the vacuum infusion molding process, the available compaction pressure never exceeds 1 bar. Accordingly, the analyti...

Energy compaction has proven to be an essential concept in signal-adapted data compression. In particular, optimization of orthonormal subband coders for a given power spectrum directly leads to optimal energy compaction lters. In this paper, we consider some new design methods and properties of optimal FIR energy compaction lters. In particular, we propose a very e cient method called the wind...

Caterpillar compaction NA compaction, say Ryan Case, YunPei Chang, Nicholas Cozzarelli, Carlos Bustamante, and colleagues (University of California, Berkeley, CA), may work via a cooperative caterpillar-like mechanism. The caterpillar is formed by multiple copies of condensin protein—in this case MukBEF—with each V-shaped condensin contributing two legs. Compaction occurs when the caterpillar’s...

The increasing importance of powdered materials fabrication has led to an increasing emphasis on the understanding of the powder behavior during compaction. During compaction, a powder mass undergoes densification owing to various mechanisms, i.e. sliding, rotation, deformation and/or fracturing of the constituent particles. These densification mechanisms are very dependent upon the powder char...

Headland and field edges have a higher traffic frequency compared to the centre, which causes more compaction. Most repeated compaction is located at entrance area headland during machinery turning material transporting that takes place fertilisation, herbicide laying, harvesting of fields, could cause soil structure destruction yield reduction. In this study, differences between headland, edge...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to introduce modified continuous wave compaction (MCWC) technique and compare its obturation quality with that of lateral compaction (LC), warm vertical compaction (WVC) and continuous wave compaction techniques (CWC). The obturation time was also compared among the four techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-four single-rooted teeth with 0-5° root canal ...

Roller drums make use of various shapes and their dynamic compaction effect is achieved by different kinds of dynamic excitation systems. The bearing capacity of layered soil constructions can be measured during the soil compaction process. The finite element method has been applied for dynamic analyses using elastic models. For the realistic simulation of the dynamic compaction process it is n...

Compaction by optimal permutation (COPERM) is a tool for transform-domain energy compaction of broadband signals, whose foundation is a simple but powerful idea: Any signal can be transformed to resemble a more desirable (e.g., from a transform-domain compaction viewpoint) signal from a class of “target” signals (e.g., DCT basis functions) by means of a suitable permutation of its samples. One ...

Test set compaction is a fundamental problem in digital system testing. In recent years, many competitive solutions have been proposed, most of which based on heuristics approaches. This paper studies the application of set covering models to the compaction of test sets, which can be used with any heuristic test set compaction procedure. For this purpose, recent and highly effective set coverin...
