A Pentagon report last May referred to China's "rapid and relatively smooth rise as an emerging space power".But China is taking a risk.

From his prodigiously talented playing days to his smooth rise through the administrative ranks – via the France 98 organising committee, as Sepp Blatter's right-hand man and then as the head of European football – his ascent has been insouciant and seemingly effortless.

This effect can be related to the smooth rising in the load displacement of the FGT tube, rising the interaction between the tube and die, and the higher plastic energy damping of concave FGT structures.
China's "rapid and relatively smooth rise an emerging space power," the U.S. Defense Department noted in its annual report to Congress on China last year, "could serve as a key enabler for regional power projection".
The results showed consistent behavior between lightweight concrete steel deck and normal concrete (NC) steel deck, both of which presented a steep drop in load after the first peak load, followed by a smooth rise until the ultimate load, which exceeded the initial peak load, was reached.
The synchronous rubbing solution covers various feature including shift in resonance speed, lower amplitude of rotor's vibration, smooth rise and fall in case of soft segments, jump phenomena in case of stiff segments, chaotic orbiting motion under effects of segment mass, etc. as are discussed in detail.
Currents were included only if they showed a smooth rise to peak indicative of monosynaptic input.
Stimulation position and strength (∼20 µA for 0.2 ms) were adjusted to obtain an evoked EPSC with a smooth rise and decay.
