  • Abstract
    At temperatures encountered in thermal oxidation, silicon dioxide flows viscoelastically, A reduced-dimension, generalized boundary element method for modeling such a problem has been developed. A modified Kelvin´s solution is used as the kernel; constant-velocity loading is chosen to operate with a wide range of stress relaxation times. Simulation results are reported for simple cases of focal oxidation
