Sintering is a high temperature process used for ceramic or metallic powder consolidation
that consists of concurrent densification and grain growth. This work presents a coupled …

Blast furnace slag (BFS) is used extensively as a cement replacement material, improving
both the microstructure and the mechanical properties. How to optimize the content of BFS …

This paper presents a numerical model that is capable of simulating microstructural
evolution during simple solid-state sintering of a complex 3D powder particle compact. This …

A combination of the phase-field method (PFM) and the discrete-element method (DEM) is
proposed to simulate simultaneously the movement of particles and the grain growth …

The characterization of the processing-induced defects is an essential step for developing
defect-free processing, which is important to the assurance of structural reliability of brittle …

Additive manufacturing has offered great promise in fabricating materials and devices with
complex structures and unique properties. In addition to fabricating complex structures …

The constitutive relation of Skorohod and Olevsky for viscous sintering is utilized to model
the shrinkage and relative density evolution during the sintering process of ceramics. A new …
