Abstract :
Ceramic firing is an irreversible process. Cracking and excessive deformation reduce the yield which, at this stage of manufacture, is particularly undesirable both economically and environmentally, since firing is a very high energy process. A model has been developed to predict the temperature fields within ceramic pieces during firing and to simulate the associated ceramic deformation.
