    Thermodynamic Variational Approach for Climb of an Edge Dislocation

    A general thermodynamic variational approach is applied to study the force on an edge dislocation, which drives the dislocation to climb. Our attention is focused on the physical mechanism responsible for disl...

    Die Fill and Powder Transfer

    Initial work on compaction modelling assumed that the density of the powder bed in a die at the start of compaction is uniform. This has been challenged from two directions. Firstly, measurements of the densit...

    Compaction Models

    Modelling correctly the behaviour of a powder during pressing is the first issue that needs to be resolved before thinking of reliable numerical simulation. For example, in the early 1950’s it was established ...
