Abstract
The rich literature on physical sintering seems to be short of an interdisciplinary approach substantiated both mathematically and experimentally. The present Chapter represents an attempt to create such an approach to physical sintering based on logical analysis of fundamental laws. As to the methods, the Chapter is of primary interest for those who are interested in mathematical modeling of complicated phenomena realized through an interplay of several different physical mechanisms. Constructing self-similar solutions may also be instructive (Sections 4.3–4.5). The physical sintering is, in particular, important in its relation to the intriguing problem of crack reversibility and healing.
