Prediction and fuzzy synthetic optimization of process parameters in heavy clay brick production
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
Many factors influence final clay brick properties, since the raw materials used are highly heterogeneous. Statistical analysis is rarely used, according to literature, but it would improve understanding of the overall ...
Sensitivity analysis of mathematical models for final product properties: Link to DTG curve
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
Compressive strength and water absorption of fired heavy clay products varies with firing temperatures, but not entirely according to linear function, as it is mostly reported in literature. Also, differential thermo-gravimetric ...
Optimization of the production process through response surface method: Bricks made of loess
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
Loess clays are commonly used to produce bricks. Heavy clays, taken at location near Zrenjanin, Serbia, are used as a representative raw material in this study. The sample, containing about 28% of clay sized particles, is ...
What to expect from heavy clay?
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2013)
The need of testing the quality of brickclay arises in all brick factories, with the opening of new deposits. The analyses are both time and economically consuming, so the aim of this study was to shorten the procedure ...
