Interrelated processes of the transfer of heat, mass, 
and deformation of disperse systems with a prevailing role of coagulation 
links in the structure are considered. The determining processes occurring 
during their drying under ordinary conditions are singled out. The 
procedure for calculating large displacements and deformations on 
shrinkage of material during its drying has been developed. Basic 
rheological bodies are used in calculations. The possibility of destruction 
of an elastic material is considered.
