2. Mechanistic Models and Finite Element Method (FEM) Simulation

This section presents the sintering models used in finite element simulation. The focus is on the link between these mechanical models and the underlying sintering mechanisms, as well as on the connections between the various available models, which may seem different at first glance but are actually very similar and transferable. Finally, the main software packages compatible with sintering are detailed.

2.1 Mechanistic Models of Conventional Sintering

The sintering of polycrystalline ceramics involves various mechanisms of mass transport. This transport occurs from regions of high chemical potential, such as convex surfaces, to those of low chemical potential, such as concave surfaces
