Shrinkage and Distortion

  • Jean Cornu

Abstract

In the shaping of materials, the greatest difficulty lies in obtaining and maintaining the exact dimensions and shape desired by the designer. For example, the founder — casting metals must take into account the global shrinkage of the metal, the restraint caused by the mould and the thermal heterogeneities occurring during cooling. Similarly, the carpenter must consider the moisture content of wood and the distortion which it causes, and the worker in concrete must allow for the shrinkage of concrete which can be restrained by the presence of metal reinforcing.
