In this paper upper and lower bound theorems for the creep and sintering response of bodies which deform by grain-boundary diffusion controlled mechanisms are presented. The utility of the bounds is demonstrated by using them to analyze the classical problem of Hull-Rimmer void growth. Further insight into the material response when diffusion mechanisms dominate is provided by analyzing the response of two contacting spheres, which represents a fundamental problem for the analysis of stage 1 sintering.
