The phrase "a linear shrinkage" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to mathematics, physics, or materials science, where a proportional reduction in size or quantity is being described.
Example: "The experiment demonstrated a linear shrinkage of the material when exposed to high temperatures."
Alternatives: "a proportional reduction" or "a uniform decrease".
We propose a modified QIF method, in which the optimal weighting matrix is estimated by a linear shrinkage estimator, replacing the sample covariance matrix.
A linear shrinkage and tensile stress relationship is found to exist in mixtures subject to such constant restraint, regardless of w/cm and slag cement contents.
It is found that the composite with SMA fibers can have a large transformation temperature range during the heating process, and a linear shrinkage may take place during the cooling because of the large difference between the austenite finish and martensite start temperatures of the composite.
A linear shrinkage factor was estimated in 1000 bootstrap runs.
We modify a Steinian linear shrinkage estimator in order to obtain a positive definite estimator of the covariance matrix, which can be applied also to non-gaussian cases, and which can be incrementally updated during the data processing.
Solidifying steel castings normally show a higher linear shrinkage (1.5 percent) than gray iron castings, which shrink about 1 percent.
They completely maintained their shape, exhibited no viscous flow and showed a homogenous linear shrinkage of around 25%%.
For this reason, we believe that our measured difference in spacing, which reflects an average linear shrinkage of around 30% and falls within the reported range for tissue shrinkage, does not reflect a true difference between patch and active region spacing.
As a point of mention, sintering of powders with a relatively broader particle size distribution can yield relatively dense compacts (close to theoretical density) for a less total linear shrinkage.
The SiC in the silica-based ceramic cores can enhance the mechanical properties (i.e., flexural strength and linear shrinkage) by playing a role as a seed for the crystallization of fused silica to cristobalite.
In order to characterize the densification behavior of TiB2 SiC ceramic sintered through induction heating, the typical curve of measured linear shrinkage of a sample was calculated and used.
