Abstract

The field of moisture concentration and the field of temperature are the two factors that induce stresses in dried materials. The main aim of this paper is to estimate the influence of these two factors on the formation of drying-induced stresses. The considerations are based on the model elaborated by the authors and the analysis of the drying-induced stresses is carried out on a convectively dried prismatic bar.
