Abstract
This Chapter presents the theoretical basis to be applied in the analysis of the creep and relaxation effects occurring during drying of wet materials. Drying is a combined process of heat and mass transfer resulting in moisture and temperature gradients, which are the main causes of generation of internal stresses. It is usually a prolonged technological process under raised temperature. This promotes viscoelastic behavior of dried materials, which creates conditions conductive to creep and relaxation.
