Revisiting pyroplastic deformation. Application for porcelain stoneware tile bodies

Effect of Nano and Micro Silica on the pyroplastic deformation of Domestic porcelain tile

The term " pyroplasticity" refers to the deformation of the white ware that occurs during firing. In particular, this phenomenon is particularly important for tiles fired in roller kiln (especially thin and large dimensions) and the roughness created on the surface by vertical weight. In this study, 1, 3 and 5% of nanosilica and microsilica were replaced in porcelain tile batch. The effect of n...

Finite element simulation of pyroplastic deformation, anisotropic shrinkage and heterogeneous densification for ceramic materials during liquid phase sintering process

Pyroplastic deformation is a distortion of the ceramic shape during the sintering process. It occurs because the flow of the vitreous phase at high temperature and the applied stress due to the weight of the product during sintering process. The aim of this paper deals with describing a numerical-experimental method to evaluate the pyroplastic deformation, to predict the anisotropic shrinkage a...

Using Application Bisection Bandwidth to Guide Tile Size Selection for the Synchroscalar Tile-Based Architecture

This paper investigates the impact of proper tile size selection on the power the power consumption for tile-based processors. We refer to this investigation as a tile granularity study. This is accomplished by distilling the architectural cost of tiles with different computational widths into a system metric we call the Granularity Indicator (GI). The GI is then compared against the bisection ...

First Reported Case of Reactive Airway Dysfunction Syndrome in a Laborer Due to Porcelain Tile Dust

Reactive airway dysfunction syndrome (RADS) is a type of non-immunologically mediated asthma-like disease. It usually occurs after a massive exposure to an irritating substance in the atmosphere in the form of smoke, fumes, gases, and vapor. Unlike bronchial asthma, there is no latency to the symptoms seen in RADS. A number of agents are known to cause RADS, but tile dust, as an etiological age...
