Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Results of investigations into the influence of nonuniformity (discontinuity, the step structure) and speed of pellet compaction on the consolidation kinematics of uranium dioxide powders and quality of pellets in regards to cracks are presented. The stress field over the compact volume is plotted. The tendency of uranium dioxide powder to crack is shown to be associated with the instability of speed characteristics and the stress state in the powder volume under the nonuniform compaction. It is found that the imperfection in regards to cracks of pellets made of uranium dioxide powder with a dry binder is lower than that one with a liquid binder. A mechanism is proposed which ensures the uniform compaction mode and reduces waste in regards to cracks for compacts with liquid and dry binders.
