摘要：

The objective of this study is the formulation of a finite element model that could be used to analyze the stress crack formation in a viscoelastic sphere resulting from temperature and moisture gradients during the drying process. Numerical solutions to the simultaneous moisture. and heat diffusion equations describing moisture removal and heat intake process for the sphere are obtained. The distribution and gradients of temperature and moisture developed inside the sphere during drying are established. The calculated temperature and moisture gradients are used in a finite element analysis of the thermo-hydro viscoelastic boundary value problem to simulate the stresses in the body. The model is used to solve a sample problem of drying a soybean kernel. The simulated drying curve for the soybean model is obtained and compared favorably with the experimental results reported in the literature. Tangential stress. as a criteria for failure, is shown to change from compressive to tensile stress as it approaches the surface. It reaches its peak value at the surface in one hour and then decays slowly. The effect of different drying conditions is studied and the results are discussed.
