Abstract: | The model developed for sintering of a bimodal pore-size distribution is generalized to describe an arbitrary distribution. The model is further extended to allow for the presence of nonsintering (i.e., rigid) inclusions. This analysis uses the self-consistent approach that takes account of the local stresses created by differential sintering rates. |
