%X Carbon anodes for aluminium smelting furnaces are formed by a vibration-compaction process. One seeks to control the operation of the vibroformer so as to optimise the properties of the anodes. A non-linear model of the vibroformer dynamics is formulated, solutions are computed and compared with data, and inferences about the compaction process are drawn.
