This term is related to a particular mechanical behavior when clay is mixed with water. A plastic ceramic material shows a permanent strain without rupture when a compressive load produces a shear stress that exceeds the material-s yield strength. For a plastic ceramic body it observes a measurable elastic behavior before the yield strength and when the applied load is removed. In this work, a mathematical model was developed from applied concepts of the plasticity theory by using the stress/strain diagram under compression.}, journal = {International Journal of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering}, volume = {4}, number = {1}, year = {2010}, pages = {31 - 36}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/12302}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/37}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 37, 2010}, }
